Board Game ? Bored Game More Like

It smacks of desperation when a tv company does a quiz / contest based around a board game . CLUEDO uses the format of the well known detective game with a host of well known British television faces enacting a scenario with a couple of contestants trying to guess who commited the murder in which part of the house . There is a bit of a flaw in this however , a series is composed of six episodes with there being six suspects so if you`ve been watching the previous five episodes it will be somewhat obvious as to who the murderer will be in the final episode .

For a far better " Let`s work who the murderer is " quiz show try WHODUNNIT presented by the late and great Jon Pertwee
