    Does anyone remember The Murder Games?
    I suspect most won't... it was a one time BBC 'game show' which went on for about 10 weeks back in... 2001? Maybe later...

    Basically the premise was there were 12 contestants, who had volunteered to be on the game show, which was a murder mystery. Similar to Britains Next Top Model etc. they all lived in a house together and got clues about the murder, had to perform forensic tasks (without being told the correct course of action, leading to some proper cock ups lol). At the end of each week they got offered the chance to volunteer to solve the crime by going to one of the possible murder scenes and either meeting the lead detective and going onto the next week or meeting the murdering and getting offed

    I think there was a cash prize at the end, and a second series was planned but it got pulled?

    With the jars full of bits of human? :eek:

    It was either 2002 or 2003 because it was when I was living in a dark depressing house, and was usually alone when it was on :cry2:

    Yes! And the beds everywhere! The meat locker was creepy too :erm:

    That makes more sense, must have 2003 because I think I played the 'but I'm a teenager!' card to get my mum to let me watch it

    I remember this, I loved the show! My whole family thought it was really good when it was first on television, and I watched it about three years ago on youtube and didn't think any different. It was on in 2003, because I was in Year 7 at the time and I remember desperately trying to find someone in my class that watched it but no one did!

    I totally remember this! Wasn't one of the contestants an old farmer chappy called Andy? I just remember him being up for like seven killer games and surviving each time. He was hilarious! :lol:
