    Comedian Dawn French starred in her own whodunnit series in this colourful pastiche of the television mystery/thriller genre,

    Adopting a new character every episode – kid’s TV presenter Bunty Breslaw, social worker Tina Mellish, secretary Sally Fairfax, surgeon Kate Marshall, abattoir worker Daisy Talwinning, dinner lady Tiffany Drapes etc – French found herself embroiled in the most grisly and gruesome situations yet always managed to prove that murder is a funny business.

    Among the major guest stars were Nigel Havers, Minnie Driver, Timothy Spall, Timothy West, Sarah Lancashire, Graeme Garden, Jane Asher, Hywel Bennett, Hugh Laurie, Roger Lloyd Pack, Stratford Johns, Sean Hughes and Frances Barber.
