I saw the trailer for this tonight and I was like 'hey, that's kinda like Thank God You're Here!' so I googled it (as you do) and turns out it's pretty similar.
It's made by the same peeps as Spicks and Specks and as I understand it, it's a whodunit game show with a 'comedic twist'.
Apparently Cal Wilson is the show's host and in each episode, she'll be 'joined by a special guest detective – a well-known comedian - who has to solve a murder in front of a live studio audience. They will have no script – just witness statements, footage flashback and forensic evidence. The suspects then all return to the scene of the crime where our novice detective will make their accusation. '
'Each episode will also feature an ensemble of well-known Australian performers, in the different roles as suspects and victims.'
Doesn't sound too bad. It starts on Friday at 8pm on ABC1.
