Cluedo (British Game Show)
''Cluedo'' is a British game show based on the board game of the same name. Each week, a reenactment of the murder at the stately home Arlington Grange of a visiting guest was played and, through a combination of interrogating the suspects (of whom only the murderer could lie) and deduction, celebrity guests had to discover who committed the murder, which of six weapons (not usually the original six from the board game) and in which room it was committed, whilst viewers were invited to play along at home. Production The TV show essentially followed in the footsteps of an earlier detective fiction program named '' Whodunnit?'', where audience members had to guess the identity of the culprit after viewing prerecorded footage and interrogating suspects. ''The Doctors Who's Who'' describes ''Whodunnit?'' as a celebrity quiz show "not unlike Cluedo...where the panel would see some visual clues and a piece of film and decide who killed whom and in what capacity". ''Dalek I Loved You'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
