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

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

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

Murder to Measure offers a number of scenarios to schools throughout the UK, and is pleased to have performed a number of its scenarios to all age groups. It aims to tie in closely with the National curriculum to devise puzzles, games and activities that can entertain and stretch pupils of any ability, often combining the death of a teacher or teachers in a highly enjoyable scenario that needs

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

Murder to Measure will be hosting a charity mystery night at the Guildhall in Salisbury on 3rd May 2008 in aid of the Mayor's chosen charity. This splendid Wiltshire cathedral city has done very will recently in supporting Mayor Kevin Cardy in his appeal for Sarum Children's Ward at Salisbury District Hospital, with sponsored parachute jumps, raffles etc. going a long way to help him reach his

When not conducting dastardly deeds the length and breadth of the UK, Prime Suspect is currently in rehearsal for one of the great plays of the 20th century - Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The piece, which depicts a family that falls short of the American Dream is powerful stuff, and whilst the title may give the end away somewhat, it's a roller-coaster ride through a pivotal couple of

Prime Suspect was lucky enough to be the only man in attendance at yet another hen night last night, in the presence of a bevvy of ladies celebrating forthcoming nuptials. With the theme "Black, White and Bling", we were transported into the cut-throat world of fashion, where competing designers vied to win a coveted award. Whilst the wine and invective flowed freely, the organiser, Serge,

Murder Towers has been very busy of late. We have been running mystery events for corporate clients, teenage parties, fund-raising events and children's parties - it really has been a whirlwind... We have expanded the list of Usual Suspects beyond our traditional boundaries of Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Devon, and have been traveling the length and breadth of the UK to deliver our own brand

Prime Suspect has been a little preoccupied of late with a production of that splendid tragi-comedy The Dresser, by Ronald Harwood. Set in wartime Britain, it depicts the backstage of a run down provincial theatre, hosting a Shakespearean troupe run by "Sir" - a traditional actor with ideas above his station and a quick fuse. "The Dresser", Norman, fusses over and attempts to manage Sir before,

Christmas must be coming - the supermarkets have begun stocking their shelves with mince pies and boxes of chocolate, and the good folks of Britain have been mailing in their droves to ask if we could kill their boss, or Santa or Rudolph for their Christmas party. Well, in short, yes we can, but venues are filling up fast, so do get your inquiries in quickly, folks, as once Halloween is past you

Not much to add to this one - just listen to this. This is one guy who'd fit right in with the Usual Suspects.

Halloween is just over a month away and thoughts turn to parties to entertain everyone with access to a black bin liner. Murder to Measure is more than happy to create a spooky scenario for you, but also recommends the ready made scenarios from HostParty.com, who can deliver a scenario to your desktop in the click of a mouse. Check out our page on Halloween murder mysteries, and then get ready

Prime Suspect and all of the Usual Suspects extend our best wishes to Kate Giles, one of our accomplished performers, who got married last weekend. Kate is skilled at turning on the waterworks when one of her nearest and dearest falls victim to a dastardly crime, so we trust that Alister managed to survive the ceremony without incident. We wish her an enjoyable break in Turkey, and hope she

Murder to Measure had the pleasure of organizing a thirtieth birthday weekend party in Tewkesbury, Gloucs last week. We found a splendid venue for the 15 guests and laid on catering, but what set this apart from many of our events was the body count. Six suspicious deaths needed some heavy sleuthing from the party-goers, despite the alcohol consumption on the Saturday night. One victim, Walter

Prime Suspect has just returned from the technical rehearsal of City of Angels, a clever and sassy musical about the vagaries of 1940s Hollywood, the life of a mystery writer and his creation. Playing at the Octagon Theatre from 4th - 8th September, this is one show where PS is glad to be taking a gentle roll-on part (playing a dying 75 year old), as the leads have a marathon set of costume and

Prime Suspect has been beavering away recently detailing some of the places we've been performing, and a few new pages have been thrust into cyberspace, with suggestions for places to visit, stay, and be massacred. We are based in Somerset, but regulars will know that we travel the length and breadth of the country to demonstrate our own brand of comedy mayhem. We've started with Somerset,

The recent meteoric rise of Murder to Measure brings frequent calls for performances the length and breadth of the country. We've had requests for events from Scotland to Cornwall (not quite Land's End to John of Groats, but we're working on it), and this can involve quite a bit of traveling by Chief Suspect... Not that he minds, but when the hosts want performers the costs can sometimes be

Prime Suspect is now back from his piratical performances in Scarborough and working through the backlog of inquiries from his week away and gearing up for a very busy September. With our ventures spreading far and wide, we are still on the look out for talented performers throughout the country, but be warned that we only accept the very best who can spontaneously adapt to any character and

Well, it had to happen eventually... a mystery event at a wedding reception. OK - not quite. The bride and groom tied the knot the day before, but with a couple of dozen house guests hanging around on the Sunday evening, Murder to Measure were drafted in to provide entertainment, and the happy couple played along with invented lovers, opium addicted guests and a poet with the ability to create

It's been a very busy week at Murder Towers, with Prime Suspect covering the length and breadth of the country with a variety of scenarios. From team-building near Warwick to a school murder in Tamworth then a 12th birthday party in Berkshire... And destruction has followed in our wake - every area we've passed through has subsequently been submerged under several feet of flood water, almost as

Murder to Measure has really taken off in the last month, thanks largely to the good folks at Google, who have recognised that we offer an excellent murder mystery service to the UK, and now put our site near the top of the list for searches such as "murder mystery dinner" and "murder mystery UK". It has taken Prime Suspect a lot of time to get there, but it has been worth it, as the website

Murder To Measure enquiries have shot through the roof recently, since the kind Mr Google decided to give our site some prominence in the UK if you search for "murder mystery". Hits have shot through the roof, and we are gettingmany enquiries daily asking what we do and how much it will cost. The initial answer always has to be a little vague... we can do pretty much anything, and our final

The last couple of years have seen Murder to Measure enter a fairly fallow patch during the summer months, with fine weather and holidays turning folks' thoughts to other things. Not so this year. A concerted effort early in the year to give the website a higher profile has paid dividends, and July will be very busy with private bookings, with many more enquiries for September and beyond. We

Prime Suspect has been working hard this weekend to develop a scenario that would work well in a school. Prompted by an enquiry, he has been dreaming up madcap clues that tie in with the National Curriculum and enable pupils to see the painful deaths of their teachers tied together with a conspiracy that might well rival the Da Vinci Code. Watch this space, folks - coming to a school near you
