Medium funny movie about old folks investigating old and new murders. Quite the aging cast:

82Paul FreemanJohn GreyKey role in climax
62Geoff BellTony CurranGood landlord

I didn't recognize Paul Freeman, I suspected who he was, but I wasn't sure so I asked Google and Google replied:

In the Netflix movie adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club, John Grey is a retired veterinarian and a resident of Coopers Chase, married to Penny Grey. He plays a crucial role in the film's climax by killing Ian Ventham to prevent the discovery of Peter Mercer's body, which Penny Gray had buried, and then taking his own and Penny's lives with fentanyl to protect her secret. - Google

I'm glad I asked. That's a better explanation than I could have come up with, expect now you wonder who Penny Gray and Peter Mercer are. You'll have to watch the show, it's too complicated for me to explain this late at night.

The fancy building is the Englefield House.
