Goodson was a convicted child molester who had certainly not learned the error of his ways. He followed Jasmine home and tried to grab her. When the fairies intervened he was a marked man. They attacked him in the city centre, making him vomit up rose petals. He got himself arrested and thought he was safe in a police cell.

Death: Goodson was killed in the locked police cell by the fairies pushing rose petals down his throat and choking him.

Roger Barclay is a regular actor in British TV drama.
