Production

edit

The murders occurred at the Döinge hus (Dead House), while the storylines were written by Hans Alfredson and Rickard Bergquist. The location shots were filmed at "Sturehov Slott", which is 19 km from Stockholm. Similar to the Australian series, Criminal Inspector Bert appears in the prerecorded footage to help provide further evidence. The audience tried to guess the correct solution and played for a trip for two to England.[15]

Plot and gameplay

edit

A murder has been committed and during the course of the program it will be revealed who the murderer is at Döinge Hus. Countess von Thän, Miss Anette Gulling, Colonel Douglas Olsson, associate professor John Plommongren, pastor Seved Fillén and housekeeper Siv Holm are all suspects. Which murder weapon was used and in which room of the castle did the murder take place? Commissioner Bert Berg will try to solve the murder mystery. The suspects are also questioned by the audience. Who is really telling the truth and who has reason to lie?

Critical reception

edit

Daniel Hånberg Alonso of Filmkultur remembered the single series Swedish version as "very entertaining".[16] Villanytt asked, "who doesn't remember" Cluedo.[17] Citisenior deemed the series "successful".[18] In 2015, TV4 advised they had no intention of re-running the series.[19]
