Tommy solves the case.

Great show yesterday Kid. It will go down in radio history as the show with the longest and most revealing story ever to be broadcast in the history of radio. The story was of course told by Derry's premier Seannachie, Mr Sean Coyle.
It was a lurid story, a story one might well see in the seedy pages of the News of The World, or indeed, The Sunday Sport. It was a story of love, betrayal and unimaginable 'how's your father. It was a story only a gulpin would tell. A tale fit for a gulpin, told by a gulpin.
I looked at Tommy my cat, who was filleting a deceased mackerel with a Swiss army knife.
"Tommy!" I said, in fluent speech, "pray tell what you thought of the knave Coyle's story."
"Tommy put down knife and mackerel, got slowly to his feet and walked, hands behind back to the window. I looked at Tommy, as he stood at the window, slim, elegant, debonair with a sardonic look on his pale, sensitive feline face. "Tommy looked like Sherlock Holmes! He looked just like Sherlock Holmes as he stood at the window-pondering.
"Ah yes," said Tommy, "the strange case of the vibrating man. Let us examine the facts. Mr Coyle's wife has gone out to visit a friend. THEN, for some strange, inexplicable reason, Mr Coyle suddenly decides to go to bed. WHY?" said Tommy. "WHY would a man who was just married decide to go to bed? Surely he would want to stay up and welcome his homecoming wife with a cup of tea or cocoa. But-NO!. Mr Coyle decides to go to bed. The next thing he would have us believe, was that he was woken by a MAN, a vibrating man lying on top of him. The next thing Mr Coyle would have us believe was that he was helpless,unable to move, at the mercy of the strange, vibrating man. To the untrained eye," said Tommy, "this story would lead us to believe that Mr Coyle was one of the first swingers in Derry. And yet," said Tommy, "I stand at this window today and declare, there is no way Mr Coyle is, or indeed was a swinger."
"Prove it Tommy!" I yelled, "Go on and prove it, just like Sherlock Holmes."
Tommy spun round from the window,raised his paw on high and cried, "The reason Mr Coyle is not a swinger is because he doesn't have the swingers to BE a swinger."
"Another case solved!" I cried, as I ran to fetch Tommy pipe, slippers and fiddle.
The Friday show is on tonight.OOH-Scary! What an excuse to seek out a vibrating man, or indeed-vibrating woman.
Happy Halloween to all in Derry City. There will be a big crowd so hold on to your ghoulies.
