The Unicorn and the Wasp

Prime Suspect will confess to being a bit of a closet Doctor Who fan. He may have lost faith in the late 80s, but in his formative years he mourned the passing of Jon Pertwee, learnt to love Tom Baker and Peter Davidson, and is now back under David Tennant's spell for a somewhat variable season 4 of "new" Who.
Last Saturday's episode was an almost classic Agatha Christie murder mystery (if you ignore the fact that the murderer was giant wasp), and it re-ignited an old passion that PS would love to bring to life. The idea? Well - nothing less than a Who-dunnit... a murder mystery set at a Doctor Who convention, with all of the suspects being one of the timelord's incarnations... with jelly babies, celery, bananas, penny whistles and clockwork mice aplenty. He knows you Whoovians will demand meticulous research, but would leap at the chance... who fancies a journey aboard the TARDIS when murder is on the agenda?

Murder: The Spice of Life

Murder To Measure has just enjoyed a very varied weekend, traveling from Torquay in Devon to Birmingham and then to Frome in Somerset. Starting with a corporate team-building mystery for Yellow Pages, it was hot-foot to a school in Aston who wanted a team-building event for their eager year 11s. Finally, we were in a private home, where the hen had no idea that she would be thrown into an evening of intrigue and accusation, and rather feared that Prime Suspect was a stripper.
All highly enjoyable, of course, and it just demonstrates the range of scenarios that we regularly serve up to the suspecting and unsuspecting public. Although murder is a serious business, a huge amount of fun was had by all, and the key lime pie was truly stunning.
Best wishes to all our recent victims, and don't forget to call us next time you have criminal intentions.

No rest for the wicked

Murder Towers is buzzing this week, and we are exploring the full range of our repertoire. Thursday sees us deliver a team-building murder mystery for Yell.com in Torquay, then it's hot foot to Birmingham to serve up a unique mystery at a school looking to foster teamwork within its ranks. On Saturday we are off to Frome in Somerset, but Prime Suspect shouldn't say too much, as the hen doesn't know we're coming... let's hope she wasn't expecting a stripper on her last night of freedom.
We will also be advertising nationally soon; selling our not inconsiderable wares to charities up and down the UK who are hoping to raise much needed funds for their ventures. We began performing for charities, so are always keen to deliver our particular brand of mayhem to anyone looking to make money for a good cause. Murder To Measure knows that every gig we do generates additional sales, so do contact us for a quote... you'll be surprised by our generosity.

Murder in Cheshire & Wiltshire

Murder Towers has been busy this weekend, with a hen night in Knutsford, Cheshire, and a charity gig in Salisbury, Wiltshire. 6 hardy professionals have enacted 3 murders in 1 night, and great fun was had by all.
In Salisbury, the city mayor was found dead amongst the silverware, and, as a result, a great deal of money was raised for his charity. Meanwhile, some 200 miles north, a bride-to-be was found to be a deadly killer, yet emerged with a smile on her face.
It's all in a weekend's work for Murder To Measure, where tailor-made scenarios are our speciality. If you have murder on your mind, it's always worth giving us a call, no matter what your motive.
