Cluedo	comment	Cluedo was a TV gameshow made by Granada for ITV and broadcast from 1990 until 1993. It was based on the board game Cluedo and produced in association with the game's owner Waddingtons Games and Action Time. It bore some resemblance to an earlier ITV gameshow, Whodunnit? (UK), in that each edition featured a short murder mystery, with teams of studio guests giving the task of finding the killer. In Cluedo the six possible murderers were the six characters from the board game - Mrs Elizabeth Peacock, Miss Vivienne Scarlett, Mrs Blanche White, Colonel Mike Mustard, Reverend Jonathan Green and Professor Peter Plum - who were played by different actors in each series. The setting for each mystery was Mrs Peacock's country mansion, Arlington Grange (not Tudor Close as in the board game).As in the board game, the contestants had to use deduction and process of elimination to identify in which room the murder took place, with what weapon and which of the suspects was the killer, being given six options for each. Following a short introduction from the studio host, the two teams of detectives would be shown the pre-recorded drama (filmed on location at Arley Hall in Cheshire) and would then be given the chance to question the suspects - the actors appearing in the studio in costume and in character - before making initial accusations. They would be told how accurate these were, though no one ever got all three elements right first time. After the commercial break they would then be shown a second video clip with one or more previously unseen additional scenes and had to work out how, if at all, this "new evidence" changed things. More questioning would follow before the teams made a final accusation, one of which always fortunately turned out to be correct. The murderer would then turn to camera and make their confession, explaining their motive for the crime, part of which would be voiced over a final clip showing the lead-up to the murder (although, since this went out at 7pm, the actual moment of the killing was always faded out or freeze-framed).Four series and a Christmas episode were made, hosted by James Bellini, Chris Tarrant and finally Richard Madeley. In the first series each team consisted of one celebrity and one member of the public involved in criminal justice or detection (police officer, forensic scientist etc.) but from series two this changed to two celebrities. The six weapons from the board game only appeared together once, in the Christmas special, and in other editions a wide variety of possible weapons were used or suggested, from croquet mallet to insecticide. There were no prizes whatsoever for the contestants, although in series 3 viewers were given the chance to phone in and win a murder mystery weekend by answering an observation question based on that night's mystery.Many well-known TV actors of the time guested as that week's victim, always a ghastly type whose presence spelt trouble for the six inhabitants of Arlington Grange. The regular cast was of a similarly high calibre and the parts were played as follows:note In order: Series 1, 1990 Christmas special, Series 2, Series 3, Series 4. Mrs Peacock: Stephanie Beacham, Kate O'Mara, Rula Lenska, Susan George, Joanna Lumley Miss Scarlett: Tracy Louise Ward, Toyah Wilcox, Koo Stark, Lysette Anthony, Jerry Hall Mrs White: June Whitfield, Joan Sims, Mollie Sugden, Pam Ferris, Liz Smith Colonel Mustard: Robin Ellis, David Robb, Michael Jayston, Lewis Collins, Leslie Grantham Reverend Green: Robin Nedwell, Derek Nimmo, Richard Wilson, Christopher Biggins, Nicholas Parsons Professor Plum: Kristoffer Tabori, Ian Lavender, David McCallum, Tom Baker, John BirdThis series is not to be confused with the board game Clue (Cluedo in the UK) or with the American film Clue which was also based on it.This series provides examples of the following:

In series 1, he was an environmentalist passionate about saving moles; in series 2, he was a more sinister character. He would often be referred to as "a man of the cloth", and some of confessions to the murder were amusing.

Over the course of the short film leading up to the killing, we see that all six of them have various reasons to want the murder victim dead; perhaps the victim can potentially expose a scandal involving them or is blackmailing them to keep such a scandal quiet, perhaps they're carrying out a transaction (generally involving Arlington Grange somehow) that will ruin them financially, or perhaps they've threatened the life or livelihood of someone they care about (particularly common for Col. Mustard regarding Mrs Peacock and/or Ms Scarlett).

Actually, he lied on his insurance claim after the church was robbed to be reimbursed for items that he didn't own and had merely borrowed.

Sir Nigel Hussey from "Seven Deadly Sinners" is a Cabinet minister who is part corrupt politician, part Corrupt Corporate Executive, as he plans to develop the land next to Arlington Grange as a crass "Sin City" theme park, which is set to cause local property prices (including those of Prof. Plum's house and Arlington Grange itself) to crash. He has also conned funds out of Rev. Green under false pretences and exploited Ms Scarlett while refusing to honour his promise of a contract with the park for her.

Cluedo / int_4f4372e9	type	Early-Installment Weirdness
Cluedo / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first series, Professor Plum was portrayed as a young American entrepreneur and not The Professor of the board game, to which he reverted in series 2. Mr White (played by Graham Rigby) appeared in a couple of episodes while in all later series Mrs White was a widow, allowing her a vague romance with Reverend Green in series 3. In the studio segments of the first series the audience was asked to vote electronically on its views of the killer's identity, though this had no bearing on the outcome. The actors playing the suspects would start at the top of a staircase and then have to walk rather clumsily down to their seats before the detection began, although this had the bonus of allowing the viewer to hear some more of the show's mean and moody theme music. The teams consisted of one celebrity and one member of the public (with some relation to the concept of the show - genuine police officers, pathologists, private detectives and legal executives all appeared), not two celebrities as subsequently. Following the first video clip, the teams would have to answer a simple observation question to determine who went first, e.g. "What colour was the telephone?", similar to the Observation round in another Granada gameshow, The Krypton Factor, which shared an executive producer with Cluedo. There were various other, smaller differences from later series, such as the opening titles and music being edited differently and the presenter being named with a caption and not by the announcer. The series was in more recognisable form by series 2. Also in series 1, Reverend Green was never the murderer: instead, Mrs Peacock was the murderer twice (which gave Stephanie Beacham and Robin Nedwell the distinction of being, respectively, the series' only multiple murderer and the only actor to appear in multiple episodes without being the killer).

There was a complete stylistic and tonal shift into comic and cartoonish territory, with a change of music to prove it.

Cluedo / int_8797239c	comment	Bait-and-Switch: In "A FÃªte Worse Than Death", actor Bernard Kirkbride appears to be set up as the murder victim for the episode, as we see scenes of him antagonising each of the characters in turn. Near the end of the short film, Mrs Peacock tells Colonel Mustard that she's glad they're rid of him, only for Mustard to say, "What do you mean? Here he comes now!"... as Kirkbride arrives to report the murder of a seemingly unimportant background extra in a dragon suit (revealed to be an undercover cop who was seen observing incriminating behaviour or conversations by most of the suspects). In the Christmas Episode "Christmas Past, Christmas Present", Richard Forrest, the son of the judge who owned Arlington Grange before Mrs Peacock shows up with gifts hinting that he knows about scandals in the past of all six suspects, setting himself up as the murder victim. However, the actual murder victim is his chauffeur, Ken. Or so we are led to believe; Ken and Forrest swapped identities as a precaution, but Ken was so nervous about being murdered that he spilled the beans to Miss Scarlet, who decided to kill the real Forrest and frame her stepmother in an attempt to get rid of competition for Colonel Mustardâ€™s love.

Cluedo / int_8cb66c2f	comment	Who Murdered the Asshole: Many of the victims are such despicable people that all six regulars are clearly glad they're dead, whether they're the ones who killed them or not. Sometimes they're just rude and abusive, while sometimes they're threatening to expose scandals involving one or more of the suspects. TV art expert Peregrine Talbot-Wheeler from "Going, Going, Goner" spends his brief time at Arlington Grange being rude and dismissive to all six suspects and ultimately trying to blackmail Mrs Peacock. Unfortunately for him, he never realized that trying to blackmail someone is rarely if ever a good idea. Investment broker Simon Charles from "A Deadly Deal" is cheerfully unrepentant about the financial ruin that befell five of the suspects after his original dodgy deal or the lack of compensation for the sixth (Prof. Plum) that will result from his next one. Soap star Marianne Kray from "Fatal Distraction" is abrasive and ruthless to an extent that would make All About Eve's Eve Harrington shake her head in disbelief. Sister Concepta (the late Mr Peacock's sister) from "And Then There Were Nuns" is a stereotypical Moral Guardian who denounces all six regulars as depraved in some way and threatens several with exposure over their shadier actions. Sir Nigel Hussey from "Seven Deadly Sinners" is a sleazy politician who double crosses and/or threatens to financially destroy the six suspects in different ways. Terry Radcliffe from "Where There's a Will" has caused significant financial losses for Rev. Green in the past and is clearly planning to do so again for Mrs White, with further repercussions for most of the other regulars.
