10 Things We Learned From Twin Peaks: The Return Part 9

10. Tim Roth Isn't Playing Phillip Jeffries

The death of David Bowie poses a real mystery in addition to the countless fictitious conundrums: who, if not Bowie himself in clandestine style, will assume his role as Special Agent Phillip Jeffries?

Many fan theories pointed towards Tim Roth, perhaps owing to his reputation as a superb chameleonic character actor. So fabulous is Roth at his best that he also commands the aura required to replace such an icon of culture. All of this is now moot, and it almost feels like we are being toyed with. Roth does speak with the southern American twang of the missing Agent, but as Gary "Hutch" Hutchens - the simple minded, cuckolded husband of Jennifer Jason Leigh's Chantal, drawing icky laughs from his infantilised approach to murder ("Oh, let's play two!" and insistence on having his wife give a now-healed Mr. Cooper "a wet one!"

Cue Chantal removing her chewing gum, kissing their "boss man", and, brilliantly, sending him off (to kill "that f*cker Ray", presumably) with a bag of crisps. The remaining cast list, of which Bowie is not a part (but intriguingly isn't conclusive), is thinning. There are few, if any, candidates left.

In Fire Walk With Me, a monkey in the Red Room was equally fascinated with the unseen "Judy". We might be set for another "evolution" of Jeffries' baggy-suited human form.
