What happens

The Murder Game is a British reality television series that aired on BBC One from March to May 2003. The show was based on the American Fox television show Murder in Small Town X. Though classified as a reality television series, it was more accurately a hybrid of reality TV, game show, and mystery drama. The series was narrated by Rupert Smith. Although there was no host in the traditional sense the Chief, Bob Taylor, acted as a sort of host for the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
