Since it doesn't look like a crime scene, then moving the body to make it "comfortable" looking wasn't frowned upon. David hid the letter because he was afraid after seeing the pills that Alcock committed suicide, which in those days would have not only been a big disgrace to Alcock but a major scandal to the school. As David loves the school he would have thought first of protecting it, regardless of whether he was doing something technically "wrong" in hiding "evidence."
Only a cameo part but enough to show that Peter Arne was a good actor. The story about the fraud is regretably true and I do not doubt that having escaped punishment in this life he will be answering for it now on the next plane of existence. But on the matter of his death,who can know exactly how it came to happen? Its a shame when anyone gets killed in such a way.
there are some fantastic minor roles in this series indeed. Speaking of doctors, I could watch Lockwood West's performance earlier in the series over and over.
Just reading up on his life now. His murder happened only a couple of years after this was filmed. Between that and the fraud that he committed earlier in his life, it paints a fairly tragic picture.
Charles Kay was a fantastic actor however he didn't seem to play a dead body so well. You can clearly see him breathing on the sofa, perhaps the director told him the camera would only be on his face. The director of this episode Terence Dudley directed and wrote a number of Doctor Who stories in the early 80's
@ddpresearch07 Surely handling a body wouldn't be a problem in the case of a natural death, but only with a *crime* scene. Though if there was a quesiton it might be suicide, I suppose you have a point....

Karma got Alcock! "Just to make sure he's really dead" 😂

The headmasters mouth was closed, then open, then closed
Undertaker will do the rest
I guess back then tampering with a scene of death was OK.

Kay is 91 as of this writing. Long may he keep breathing!
Suspension of disbelief I say. Charles is a fantastic actor as you say. Still alive and well I think?
