WhoDunnit

Anyone ever heard of this Jon Pertwee show?

It's new to me. I imagine as its a quiz show it's pure rubbish.

are you kidding me, with CSI etc, I could see this kind of thing working.

I would watch this.

 

[Lonemagpie]

I remember it - it was actually pretty good. it wasn't so much a quiz show as an observation show, with the panellists/contestants having to solve the crime based on what they had seen.

Now go see if you can find some Masterspy, with William Franklyn, for a good giggle about 70s game shows in the UK...

 

[Cutter John]

I think I've read about it. Its a show he hosted right after he left Who.

Looks like an interesting idea.

 

[Andrew_Kearley]

Yeah, used to watch it back in the day. It was quite good fun as I recall.

 

[Pindar]

It's a good job I've spent all my cash this month, otherwise I would have ordered it already. Maybe next month.

 

[wamdue]

I guess its CSI / Would I Lie To You, that is certainly how I would pitch any revival.

The fact that I'm old enough to remember the last couple of series of this makes me feel very sad...


Now who remembers Tom Baker and "The Book Tower"?

 

[Starkers]

Oh I used to love The Book Tower!

 

[Pindar]

Don't remember the Book Tower was it on ITV? I couldn't bare the though of seeing Magpie so alsways had it on BBC1.

 

[Starkers]

I think it was on BBC1

EDIT: Actually just checked and it looks like it was ITV!

Ah, that was a good show, at least to start with. (ISTR they messed with the formula after the first couple of seasons, and had a different presenter)

Agreed.

I loved Whodunnit. I watch every episode. I will buy now i know its on DVd.

If I remember correctly the contestants could see one scene again and could ask any of the characters a certain amount of questions about what happened. Then they had to state who the guilty party was.

Dave or BBC 2 should bring this back.

Its a lot better idea than a lot of the quiz shows that are on just now.

I'm sure Colin Baker is available (and cheap)

I dont think it needs to be hosted by a former Doctor.

Get an ex doc to host and companions as team captains

The first season, which I have just purchased off Amazon UK, was hosted by Edward Woodward. i don't think this was aired in Australia as I only remember Jon Pertwee as host.

The second season has sold out and is only available as a price that is too high for me. i will buy season 3 when it is released. Hopefully season 4 to 6 will eventually be released.

I would love it if a new series was made.

Edited to add - That is a young Steven Pacey in the video. A few years before he was in Blake's 7. IMDB doesn't list this appearance on his
filmography.
