List of Cluedo (UK) episodes

This is a list of episodes of the British version of the Cluedo TV series.

Series

Series 1

This first series set had a blue and white theme with the suspects having to walk down ramp and steps to arrive at their seats with the teams sitting in a high rise area with white triangular desks. In this series, each team is made up of one celebrity and an expert in a field linked to murder in some way. As well as the Christmas special, there are 300 members of the studio audience to which some are seen in the background risers behind the teams and the suspects and vote halfway during the show to see who they think the killer was. Reverend Green was the only suspect not to be the killer while Mrs Peacock was the killer twice. In episodes, suspects' reasons for murder are not present or relevant.

This is the only series where Mrs White's husband, Mr White is seen. From the next series onwards, Mrs White is a widow. Mr White was never a suspect and he lived with Mrs White in an annexe building next to where Mrs White worked. He is also only seen with Mrs White. In such scenes they called each other "Mr White" and "Mrs White" respectively. As a result, Mr White's first name is never revealed.
