Cluedo is an Australian whodunnit game show based on the British series of the same name and inspired by the 1949 board game Cluedo. It was produced by Crawford Action Time (a collaboration of Crawford Productions and Action Time) in conjunction with Nine Network. The show saw a studio audience view a dramatised scenario, then complete rounds of interrogating the six suspects on stage in character and viewing further evidence through a pre-recorded criminal investigation. Players then deduced the solution to the murder case using a trio of computer-linked electronic dials (whodunnit, whatdunnit, and wheredunnit), and after the solution was revealed the first person who had locked-in this combination won a prize.

  • Cluedo is an Australian whodunnit game show based on the British series of the same name and inspired by the 1949 board game Cluedo. It was produced by Crawford Action Time (a collaboration of Crawford Productions and Action Time) in conjunction with Nine Network. The show saw a studio audience view a dramatised scenario, then complete rounds of interrogating the six suspects on stage in character and viewing further evidence through a pre-recorded criminal investigation. Players then deduced the solution to the murder case using a trio of computer-linked electronic dials (whodunnit, whatdunnit, and wheredunnit), and after the solution was revealed the first person who had locked-in this combination won a prize. Cluedo lasted two series from 1992 to 1993 and was presented by Ian McFadyen. It aired on the Nine Network and WIN Television network. No DVD or digital release has been made and only bootleg copies are known to exist, however, televised episodes and scripts are housed at National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) in Canberra, while other Cluedo materials including press clippings have been gifted to the Australian Film Institute (AFI) Research Collection in Melbourne.

dbp:quote
  • "Crawfords has been very clever in putting Cluedo together. The dramatised murder is as much a regular production...as any soap opera or series it has devised. But really, if you were to look at Cluedo as a dramatic work, it's so woeful... But that is of necessity... You have to be able to present the worst drama possible, knowing only too well that you will get away with it." (en)
  • "I let [the audience] get used to obnoxious strangers always getting killed, then bumped off not the Mister Nasty in one episode, but someone wandering around in the background in a cuddly dragon suit. That kind of tinkering made it fun to do. I also enjoyed another episode where everyone sees Mrs. White try to commit the murder. Only someone else gets there first . In one episode however I used the crooklock without any one actually seeing it, the producer thought no one would go for it as the murder weapon because of this, but I had the professor go outside during the play, and it worked. One of the contestants followed the line of reasoning I'd set up, saying the Professor had done it using the crooklock that he had fetched from outside." (en)
