This clip was taken from the first episode of Season 2.

While presiding over details of their current murder investigation, DI Richard Poole (Ben Miller) exhibits an annoying tendency for loudly tapping the board while running down the list of current suspects, their ascribed motives, and the evidence currently on hand.

This behavior proves especially agitating to Sergeant Camile Bordey (Sara Martins), the longer he persists in such tendencies unabated.

This scene epitomizes one of Richard's many peculiar quirks which made him an insufferable yet strangely likeable character.
