The Murder Game (BBC1 show from the 00s)

[bubbadabut]

Anyone remember this show? I absolutely loved it at the time. It was like a crime version of Big Brother and the contestants were detectives. At the end of each episode, 2 were sent to a spooky location to play 'the killer's game' and only one came back 'alive'. Initially in a BBC1 prime-time slot on Saturday nights, it got shunted back in the schedules due to poor ratings. I've recently rewatched the whole series on YouTube and it was still brilliant.

Yes! I remember this well. Wasn't the saying something like.. Trust no one, suspect everyone.

Yes The cop in charge of things was ace. "good luck... I think you are going to need it". Andrew, the winner, came back from the killer's game about 6 times.

I remember there was a really creepy bit with a mummified baby in a pram. Freaked me out big time

Loved this series , was so disappointed they didn’t make another.
Wiki has a decent run down of it for those interested.

Definitely binge watch! I watched it with my husband who hadn't seen it first time round and he loved it. This is the playlist link. Each episode has been split into 10 minute sections https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF2351F037A461323

Yes this was brilliant!! I remember thinking it was Trevor or Goldie who did it! The end game used to make me tit myself though

I loved it (remember my mother taping it for me when I was out) and was surprised it didn't do better. I remember Mel and Andrew the best. Time to Youtube it...
