A strange attempt to make a movie attraction based on a staid BBC radio panel show. The regulars of the show appear as themselves, very stiffly. A listener sends in questions to be answered on the show, committing a murder to match each of his suggestions. Tough reporter Beatty and cute Anderson try to catch him. The mystery is less interesting than seeing the recreation showing how quiz shows were recorded.

I really quite enjoyed this rather quirky crime thriller. It starts off with the most spurious of clues - a man writes into the famous BBC radio panel game "20 Questions" with a puzzle for them all. The answer turns out to be incredibly similar to the circumstances of a murder the next day... When this happens again, two sparring reporters get down to investigating what's going on. Robert Beattty and Rona Anderson blend their gentle journalistic competitiveness (and a gently burgeoning romance) well, and alongside Edward Lexy as the pursuing policeman ("Insp. Charlton") and the real quiz panel - including legendary British broadcasters Richard Dimbleby and Jack Train - help to keep the mystery rolling along nicely. It's just a bit too long, I felt - the story does start to recycle itself a bit and there is a great deal of dialogue, but it is still an intriguing enough watch as the brains start to piece together this complex series of evidence threads that keeps us guessing right to the end. A couple of nice cameos from Kynaston Reeves and Liam Redmond help out well, too.
