Default New \'Murder Mystery\' Reality TV Show

Story from Ananova

The BBC's next big reality TV show will be an Agatha Christie style whodunnit with a £25,000 cash prize.

The Murder Game will be screened on BBC1 from the spring with 10 amateur sleuths chosen from 10,000 applicants, reports Media Guardian.

The action opens with a murder at a wedding in the fictional village of Blackwater, which leaves nine potential suspects, who are played by actors.

Over the course of eight programmes, the 10 contestants must work together under the supervision of former police detective Bob Taylor to try to solve the murder.

Each episode, the contestants and Taylor vote for two of the investigators to face the Killer's Game, from which only one returns.

The contestants, including a former pole dancer, a dairy farmer, a commercial pilot, a railway maintenance worker, a property developer and a recruitment consultant, were sent on a course at a police training centre in Wakefield to prepare for the show.

"We trained the people and then put them into as real a situation as possible," a BBC spokesman said.

The production of The Murder Game was surrounded by secrecy, with filming taking place in an undisclosed village in Essex

In addition to the main BBC1 series, BBC3 will broadcast a spin-off, The Murder Game: Inside HQ, which will focus on the personal politics among the investigators.

And digital TV viewers will be able to try to solve the mystery themselves by playing along with a BBCi interactive game at home.

Different!

Might be worth tuning in for, but I don't think you could afford to miss an episode.

What do you think?
