- Synopsis:
'Doctor Who' star Jon Pertwee is your host in this highly popular, light-hearted panel game where viewers are invited to play detective - pitting their wits against a panel of celebrities to solve a fictitious murder mystery. The show's brilliantly original formula, devised by comedians Lance Percival and Jeremy Lloyd, presented short dramas laden with clues and red herrings to be pieced together by the celebrity panellists, who would then question the characters involved and finally point the finger at the most likely suspect. Lively repartee is the order of the day, and joining Pertwee and his regular panellists Patrick Mower and Anouska Hempel in this third series is a veritable who's who of 1970's television: Honor Blackman, Diana Dors, Richard O'Sullivan, Paula Wilcox, Magnus Pyke, Jackie Collins, Wendy Craig, Liver Birds Polly James and Nerys Hughes, Derek Nimmo and Bond girl Julie Ege are among the guests trying to track down "whodunnit". Also included is 'Piece of Cake', a special Christmas mystery from 1974. - Actors:

What or Whodunnit? - Whodunnit?: Series 3 review by AW
Highly innovative premise in this 70s production, written by multi-talented Jeremy Lloyd (who was also one half of pop duo Chad & Jeremy) with laconic looking funnyman Lance Percival.
Multiple well known actors of the period have a lot of fun contributing to a short set piece containing a murder - whereupon sympathetic moderator Pertwee leads a panel of celebrities who then have to deduce Whodunnit?
Lots of long hair, flares, 70s makeup, big jewelry and colours. Patrick Mower, Anouska Hempel and Jackie Collins are amongst others on the panel who are just having fun.
Light viewing. Loved it.
