The setting is great and I quite like Giles the Butler for for me it sits rather uncomfortably between two stools, like it ought to be <em>more<\/em> serious or <em>more<\/em> light hearted.<\/p>\n<p>Murder mysteries are all about the who, what and why. Whodidit, what they did and why they did it. Here we found out what they did about fifteen minutes in (oh they find a musket shot in the back of her neck! It&#8217;s just like <em>CSI<\/em>. Mystery solved.) with a further twenty minutes of extraneous activity (some of which involving an admittedly clever but admittedly out of place puzzle). Who is doing it isn&#8217;t going to be revealed for weeks on end and it doesn&#8217;t really seem to matter if any of the contestants work that out anyway (the butler did it, you mark my words) and as to why, the reasons are rather spurious and unclear, and why the contestants don&#8217;t just ring the police after the murder I will have no idea.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not quite devious enough.<\/p>\n<p>But. But but but but. I will stick with it, because like <strong>The Murder Game<\/strong> and <strong>Murder in Small Town X\u00a0<\/strong>which also had issues but were fun to watch, I&#8217;m hoping there&#8217;s going to be a proper plot arc over the next nine weeks to suck me in. I quite like the little world the show created (<a href=\"http:\/\/beta.abc.go.com\/shows\/whodunnit\/blogs\/news\/book-tease\">I&#8217;d quite like to read the prequel book that&#8217;s come out in the US<\/a>), but I really hope the procedural becomes a little less procedural.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fifty 50 reaches its LANDMARK 31st episode and Lewis Murphy and Daniel Peake have a natter about Schlag den Star, Million Pound Drop and that sort of thing.
