Whodunnit: The Complete Sixth Series [DVD]

The final series of Whodunnit and I'm afraid the plots are getting a bit desperate by this point and the quality of the guest cast has dropped off. Also Lisa Goddard is so annoying she could happily join the panel on any one of a number of modern panel shows.But it if you have seen the other 5 series. But I am afraid this is the weakest of the lot.

Great series from the 70s, enjoyed it then and enjoy just as much today.

A rather lame ending to a top-notch quiz series from the halcyon days of Thames Television. Towards the end some of the stories and there are a dozen here tend to the comedic simplistic side. One for the connoisseur.

Out of 12 episodes, there's only a few worth watching ...it gets that bad even Patrick Mower jumped ship....they just ran out of ideas.

Excellent

This always was good – cheesy but good. If anything, with the passage of time (‘Whodunnit’ dates back to the seventies) it has become even cheesier with age. For most shows, this could be the kiss of death. But bizarrely, ‘Whodunnit’ has actually got better! It was written by a couple of cheeky chappy comedy actors: Jeremy Lloyd ('Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In') and Lance Percival (‘That Was The Week That Was’) who I reckon really camped up the humour to maximise the highly appealing cheesiness!Jon Pertwee (the third ever Doctor Who) hosts a panel of celebrity guests – Patrick Mower (‘Emmerdale’) & Anouska Hempel (‘Space 1999’) are always there and there are also a couple of others. Their job is to figure out who did it. They get to watch a joyfully cliché-ridden Agatha Christie style murder. The panelists interview the surviving characters (the real murderer is allowed to lie as much as they like). They were often highly suspicious-looking butlers, maids, colonels and vicars. 12 episodes. 5 stars for some fabulous seventies fun.
