Who-Dun-It is a 1969 British television crime drama series. It was a series of 13 television plays where a detective tries to solve a murder and the audience is presented with the clues to give them a challenge to solve it themselves. [3] The lead investigator, who also narrated the shows, changed back and forth during the series starting with Jeremy Moon (played by Gary Raymond), followed by Detective Inspector Trubshaw (Victor Platt), Cynthia Park (Amanda Reiss) [4] [1] and Inspector White (Anthony Sagar). [2] The series aired on ATN 7 in Australia in 1971. [5]
TV Times ran their own series of Who-dun-it articles alongside the TV series to get viewers "into training". [6] [7]

On the opening episode Patricia Smith in Southern Daily Echo began "WHAT a spiffing spoof it all was. There was a body (rich, beautiful and thoroughly nasty it had been too), a legion of suspects (all with justifiable motives for murder) and clues galore." She said it "managed to sustain our involvement in the blatantly unsubtle plot (we were invited —welcomed even— to play amateur detective) while it poked gentle fun at such dialogue as: "I hate her Michael," and "If there was another man, I'd ... I'd kill you."" [8] Daily Record's John Pirie said the lead actor "indulged in quite a bit of ham acting but I suppose that was necessary in order to get the evidence to us as simply as possible, and underline it as well."
