Whodunnit?

Very silly,very cheap and with guest judges who were stars in the 1900's!!!!!!!

John Pertwee seemed uncomfortable slumming it in this show. The acting was usually woeful and the homophobia,sexism and racism wouldn't be allowed today The who done it part was either so easy to guess as to blow the mind or totally impossible to guess!

Having said all that,there's something quite wonderful about it all. It's charmingly tacky and a time capsule of a time that's thankfully past The 4 audience guests chosen to take part looked like they'd walked out of a 1960's Hammer Horror film.

I still love it .

I was very young when this was on - 7 or 8, I guess, but I did enjoy watching.

The one thing that used to crack me up was Jon Pertwee referring to Patrick Mower as "Blood'ound" every time he was on. To this day I still refer to Patrick Mower as "Blood'ound" because of this show. We'll be watching Emmerdale, Patrick Mower will come on screen, and I'll say "Look out, it's Blood'ound".

I guess you had to be there.

Bottom line - they don't make shows like this any more, and I am wholehearted agreement that this show needs to be issued on DVD or Blu- Ray for us old'uns to relive our halcyon days.

I can remember this especially Jon Pertwee's style, panache and use of many safari suits when presenting this panel show. From what I can remember this was one of Jon Pertwee's best roles (His turn at being the Doctor being his best role) and I can remember his in jokes with the panel about his time as the doctor or "a past life of his" as he used to describe it. The program had the same format every week, in both half's a set murder performed by bit part actors leaving lots of clues the Jon would quiz the panel of the famous, did they pick up on the clues and of course who was the person who done the crime. Classic 1970's TV which I remember was shown early evening on a Monday plus I remember it on an afternoon during primary school holidays.

The British are obsessed with murder shows and panel shows. This murder-panel show was one of my childhood favourites.

Many episodes can be viewed on YouTube.

When will we be able to purchase these episodes on DVD/VHS? When my family and I lived in New Zealand for 2 years, I saw 6-7 episodes (re-runs of course) and thought they were GREAT. I would love to see more and would be willing to purchase these if they ever released on DVD/VHS. Any idea on who to contact to get these? Finding out who owns these is rather difficult in the U.S. I was able to tape some episodes and bring them back here with me. I would be willing to share some of the credit information with IMDb if they are interested. One of the episodes I have has David Rappaport (from "The Wizard" TV show in 1986-87) playing a clown from one of his earliest TV parts.
