We want information

You won't get it.

By Hook or by Crook we will (question time!)

Who is number one?

I'm thinking it sounds Spanish Inquisitionish - "We will bring you to God with the shepherds crook, or this pointy hook we have here......"

Soldier Field on Roundhay Park, Leeds is where The Yorkshire Ripper did one of his victims. It’s overlooked by Jimmy Savile’s flat too (now demolished)
