BBC Three meets murder mystery with new improvised comedy MURDER IN SUCCESSVILLE.
Set in a fictional town of Successville, comedian Tom Davis plays the role of DI Sleet who each week partners up with a celebrity to find out whodunit. The twist? The episodes are filmed live over 24 hours and the celebrity is completely unaware of the events about to unfold.Â
In the first episode, which aired last night, Sleet enlists the help of MADE IN CHELSEA’S Jamie Laing to solve the murder of restaurateur Bruno Toniolo.Â
Played by impressionists, the suspects are the Carr twins, Darcey Bussell and The Harry Styles Gang. As Laing struggles to contain his laughter, he is faced with countless uncomfortable scenarios from kissing his own hand to speaking in an Italian accent.
Greg James revealed that he will be taking part in the next episode.
Upcoming celebrity sidekicks will include Dermot O’Leary, Louis Smith, Kimberly Wyatt and Deborah Meaden.
MURDER IN SUCCESSVILLEÂ returns next Wednesday at 10pm on BBC Three. Play along at home and see if you can crack the case!
