Murder by Design on Netflix!!

Burgh Island, the home of Murder Mystery events, has retained us as their chosen Murder Mystery company for over fifteen years. The prestige and reputation of Burgh has piqued many companies’ interest, all wanting to use it as their backdrop. So we were delighted when Tiger Aspect Productions contacted us in February of 2021 and asked if we would consider being the murder mystery company featured in their forthcoming production of Jack Whitehall – ‘Travels with my father’ for Netflix. The previous adventures had seen the father and son team travel around the world, but this time, for their final outing, they would tour the length and breadth of the UK and visit places that were personal to them as a family and Burgh Island was on the itinerary, and that’s where we came in.

After numerous virtual meetings with Tiger’s production team, we dutifully arrived in the public car park overlooking Burgh Island – our lateral flow tests all checked as negative – on a beautiful April morning for the shoot.

We crossed to the Island and made the most of the weather to watch the team film the external scenes of the Whitehall’s on the Sea-Tractor.

The team set up inside, and we went through several scenes that, when edited, would stitch together as the murder story unfolded. There was the maid dusting in the bar, PC Bailey arriving to announce there was a murder, the lady of the house welcoming the guests and the dear old vicar who unobtrusively mingled with the glamourous guests before shockingly being found face down in his salad. It appears Hercule had suspected the wrong person!

I can’t tell you how the story ends and who the murderer is, but if you watch season five, episode one on Netflix, all will be revealed.

Of course, there is another way to find out, and that is to contact us and arrange for your very own murder mystery performance when you will discover ‘whodunnit’!

Fowl Play and Fine Dining at Famous Bristol Football Stadium

There was fowl play on the weekend at Bristol’s Ashton gate. This was not anything that occurred on the football pitch but the famous Bristol venue hosting its first ever murder mystery night!

Would-be super sleuths chose this alternative to a romantic Valentines meal and travelled back in time to 1929 to attend the Valentines Massacre.

`This dinner was attended by some very dubious characters including rival London gang leaders, Victor Valentine and Robert (Bugsy) Moran. Also in attendance was Michael (the Mauler) Merchant and Harriet (Hands) Hanley.

Fine dining was the last thing on their minds and before long there had been a ghastly murder or two!

Fortunately P.C Bailey was on hand for crowd control and eventually (which a little help) was able to work out the murderer in the room. Thus allowing the guests to make their way home safely, after an evening of fowl play and delicious dining.
