Synopsis:

This highly popular, light-hearted panel game invited viewers to play detective every week between 1972 and 1978, pitting their wits against a panel of celebrity sleuths - hosted initially by Edward Woodward, and later by Jon Pertwee - to solve a fictitious murder mystery. The show's brilliantly original formula, devised by comedians Lance Percival and Jeremy Lloyd (and revived in the 1990s for Cluedo), presented short dramas laden with clues to be pieced together by the panellists, who would then question the characters involved and finally point the finger at the most likely suspect; lively repartee was the order of the day. Presented here is the very first series (and pilot), with distinguished contributors appropriately including archetypal TV policeman Frank Windsor (Z Cars) and Police 5 presenter Shaw Taylor, Kingsley Amis, legendary newsreader Reginald Bosanquet, Woodward's Callan co-star Russell Hunter, and real-life private eye Anne Summer.

All six episodes, plus the pilot, from the first series of the 1970s murder mystery game show. Each week host Edward Woodward invites a panel of celebrity sleuths to solve the clues in a dramatised murder by grilling the characters, before finally deciding on who they think is the culprit. Episodes comprise: 'Pilot', 'Missing On Voyage', 'Knife in the Back', 'Crime After a Fashion', 'Did He Fall Or Was He Pushed?', 'Dead Likeness' and 'Happy New Year'.
