But [the series 1 cliffhanger] became such a big deal that we actually had to do something - the most unexpected thing. I remember the three of us - Mark [Gatiss] and I and Steve Thompson - were out one night and just thought, ‘What if the phone rings?’ It’s ridiculous, it’ll be funny. “I mentioned this to Sue [Vertue] - my wife, the producer - and she’d just heard the funniest story about a funeral where the service started, and someone’s phone started playing ‘Stayin’ Alive’ - I said, ‘That’s the one!’ I’m very proud of it. Of all the things that people had been wondering about for over a year, I don’t think they expected the Bee Gees!
