Corrected entry: Alan brings in a load of boxes for a large Bang & Olufson stereo system. There is no reason to suspect he is lying about this purchase as he has just got a TV contract and a hefty income. However, the new stereo seen later in his room is a tiny one made by Alba. So not only is the stereo the wrong make, you have to question how the writers missed the obvious problem caused by the huge boxes and then the small stereo.

Chosen answer: He was played by Ian Puleston-Davies. He is best known for his role as Owen Armstrong in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street.

Correction: Alan has not set up his Bang & Olufson system. He is leaving the hotel the next day. The Alba stereo has been there for a while. At the crematorium earlier in the episode, Alan was on the phone trying to track down some speakers for an Alba stereo.
