s1, episodes 25 and 26

1.25 
Charles Bronson again, this time as the villain. This is another bilk-the-old-lady episode. 

Bronson overhears locals talking about the money she has stashed in her house. He and his girl go to see her. There is a nice scene  when she introduces the couple to all her old friends, who we see don't exist. She’s batty. They’re hungry. Maybe the hunger means something.

Not to give anything away, but the music makes that “waah, waah” sound at the end.


1.26
AH calls his audience “necromaniacs” and then teases us that the hero of our story is already dead. 

We begin in heaven and British actor John  Williams is the recently deceased. He’s a mystery writer who finds out he was murdered. He's miserable because he doesn’t know who killed him, so they let him return to life for a day to find out. BTW, the archangel is Alfred from the Batman TV show (but doesn’t look like him). 

Our protagonist soon realizes that everyone had a motive to kill him, which seems to be the point. I kind of like the ending in this light-hearted episode.
