Murder in Successville

[Spiffing]

I caught last weeks episode by chance and really enjoyed it. It's a show I would never watch going by the description, but it was so odd and funny it worked.

For those that missed it, a "celebrity" helps solve a murder. It's improvised with impersonators playing other celebrities in normal roles that you would find in a crime drama/comedy.

I haven't explained it very well, this is a clip of last weeks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VURysreXmoI

Yep, its odd but I liked it a lot. The 'celebrity' doesn't know whats going on, gets told what to do and has to solve the case. Greg James the Radio 1 DJ and Deborah Meaden from Dragons Den are in the next ones, Dermot O'Leary is in it later on (He's in the advert for it).

I watched it also and it was very enjoyable! I laughed quite a few times.

This weeks looks even funnier, Greg James seems to be giggling constantly.

Yeah that was pretty funny! I couldn't watch it all though, got bored half way through.

Heads up

Mary Berry's Saggy Bottom strip club

I'm surprised Greg James worked anything out from that, he was giggling through most if it

Its weird but its good weird.

Another great episode with genuine LOL moments. Just brilliant.

I watched the episode,first ? with the idiot off Made in Chelsea.

Not sure he knew what was going on.

Actually neither did I have much of a clue.

BTW it's Successville.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I saw a trailer for it then totally forgot about it! It sounds like a modern version of Whodunit? from the early 80s (or possibly before, I was too young to pay much attention). Also similar to Simon Brett's "Foul Play" that sometimes gets repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dm3jm

Deborah Meaden,off Dragon's Den,good sense of humour.

"Cheryl Fernandez Panini"

[iva cosworth]

She's also about 2 feet shorter than the detective bloke

To be fair I think Tom Davis the detective bloke is about 2 feet taller than everyone else too

I did think it was Jay Zed because Cheryl Fernandez Panini seemed obvious. Old scout leader Boris Johnson was great

THat sounds interesting.

Also today on Channel5USA was Murder by Death, a most excellent film.

I tracked down a clip from Whodunnit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb4zIBcaCWg

I have to say, the intro and (especially) the front row of the audience look like they a spoof comedy sketch!

[iva cosworth]

This really is bizarre.

Alan sugar,hilarious.

[ajprice]

I was wrong again, thought it was Miley. The Gordon Ramsay police chief is spot on though

[iva cosworth]

Only caught about 5 minutes of last nights,with the gorgeous Kimberley Wyatt as the sidekick.

It was OK, she couldn't take it seriously at all. The bit with the golf clubs cracked me up hard though.
