Which murder victim's final three words on Earth were, "Yes." - "Yes." - "Yes." ? In which episode was this spoken?

Oh my word, yes, of course! I do say, Cassa knew the answer to this one immediately! Again, David also knew it.

Answer: C. "After you, sir." Tanner's final words were, "I see. And of course it would make it look more like a robbery, wouldn't it? After you, sir." Nicholas Frame insisted Tanner lead the way - to his own death.

#39:

Two murder victims mention exact times of day in their final couple of sentences on Earth. Who were the two victims? In which episodes did this occur?

Laura was half correct and half wrong. Her half-answer of Jean Davis from "Requiem..." was incorrect. David provided the correct second answer.

Answer: In the episode, "A Stitch In Crime," nurse Sharon Martin's final sentences were, "Yes. Yes right. Right, that'll be alright. Eight a.m. sharp. Right."

Cassa, (who had previously totally ruined this question by writing about Bertie's final words in a previous post... ooh, you're wicked, Cassa. Wicked!) knew the answer to this question. So did Paul and David.

Answer: B. "I'm talking to you!" Bertie's final words, yelled at the the top of his lungs were: "Oliver! Oliver! I'm talking to you!" Oddly enough, no one else in the house heard him.
