Whodunnit? was a British television game show that originally aired on ITV as a pilot on 15 August 1972, hosted by Shaw Taylor, and then became a full series, which ran from 25 June 1973 to 26 June 1978. The series was first hosted by Edward Woodward in 1973 and then, following his departure from Doctor Who, hosted by Jon Pertwee from 1974 to 1978. Each week it featured a short murder-mystery drama enacted in front of a panel of celebrity guests who then had to establish who the murderer was. Anouska Hempel and Patrick Mower became permanent panellists from series 3 onwards, with two guest celebrities each episode. The panel members could interview the remaining characters, with the proviso that only the murderer could lie. Each panellist could also request to see a short replay of one section of the initial drama, which would often include events as they occurred and flashbacks as seen and narrated by individual suspects. At the end the compere would reveal the murderer with the catchphrase "would the real whodunnit please stand up?".

You can tell that Patrick Mower knew "whodunnit" but was obviously just having fun, as Jon Pertwee himself did when a guest on the show.
Patrick had solved so many of the murders the producers probably asked him to "have a night off".

[@dlamiss]

never thought of that but you may well be correct, believe he got 7/10 in this series and with his track record this would have been one of the easier ones to solve

[@steveh31]

It was so obvious they didn't hide the clues very well, only the one on the ship with the portculis was easier.

[@lukacunningham342]

My favorite scene from this episode is probably where Jon is gathering the solution cards and realizes that one of the four cards is a recipe (if I was on this show, I’d write on my card “Jon, I saw you eyeballing my meatballs, on the back is a recipe to make at home”) 😂

I'd have been 8 or 9 when this went out. I didn't 'get' the programme at the time but I always liked watching it. Mostly because Jon Pertwee was great as The Doctor; Anoushka Hempel's presence would have had something to do with it as well! All these years later, it comes across as good fun, with lots of familiar and respected actors genuinely coming across very tongue-in-cheek during the crime scenes. A nice dip back in time.

I'm stoked that you enjoyed it..happy new year

[@mikedonovan4768]

Clive Swift, Stephanie Beacham and Edward Hardwicke ? What more do you need ? 🙂

[@londonlady227]

Should've got Patricia Routledge as Hetty Wainthrope, not Hyacinth, in to sort it out.

[@michaelcook68]

Very different from his Dr Who days Jon Pertwee seems a lot more humourouress and cheerful was a great choice to front the show

[@lukacunningham342]

Thank God for the murderer that every single suspect has the letter “B” in their first name 😂

Whodunnit had an American version produced by NBC in 1979 and hosted by the great Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson's sidekick. Sadly the American version didn't catch on with American audiences, and it ended after just one season. Maybe it just didn't translate for them? The British version was often aired on the PBS stations in the 1970s and 80s.

[@kcsnipes]

I keep watching the full screen versions but all the commenters are on these versions so I’m back with you lot, also tell me which episode was Stanley on ? I recognize him from an earlier episode

[@keorbats9429]

Is this Hugh Jackman’s first role?

[@byronmills5952]

Lol 😂 😂

Ironic that that American is the same one who nearly punched basil fawlty
