Tape of Cluedo Game Show and Interview with Lewis Collins : Clue / Cluedo

Tape of Cluedo Game Show and Interview with Lewis Collins - 1991/1992

This VHS videocassette contains one episode from the 1991 (second series) Cluedo game show, all six eipisodes from the 1992 (third series) Cluedo game show, and an interview with Lewis Collins (Colonel Mustard) on "This Morning".

The game show episodes are very fun where a murder mystery is re-enacted and a celebrity guest panel must interrogate the suspects to discover whodunit. The suspects must ad-lib answers to prove their innocence... or guilt. Players at home can try to solve the mystery as well which is revealed at the end by the killer in a confession.

"You are invited to a murder! A stranger lies dead in Arlington Grange. There are six suspects, but which one is the killer?"

The Suspects:

Could it be Mrs. Peacock, lady of the manor and beautiful society hostess?

Perhaps Colonel Mustard, military hero and intimate family friend?

Is Reverend Green a saint or sinner?

Is it Professor Plum, a man with a degree of suspicion?

Miss Scarlett, Mrs. Peacock's glamourous step-daughter?

Or Mrs. White, loyal houskeeper and devoted confidant?

The final portion of the tape is an interview with Lewis Collins (who played Colonel Mustard) on the "This Morning" show. For about ten minutes, Collins discusses many aspects of his career, but he says, "Cluedo is the most nerve-racking thing I've ever done..." He also speaks of the tremendous rapport that the cast enjoyed together.

The quality of the tape is in good condition, but the audio cuts out briefly on occassion and the picture sometimes becomes fuzzy for a brief time.
