Having been a fan since the start of this series, it's always interesting to see who the next victim is. Those who are unaware, the actors / actresses of these 'Murder In Mind' shows are in fact famous TV Actors past and present.
One show I remember in particular was Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell is Eastenders) playing the Husband of a cheating Wife. He hired himself a guy (Keith Allen - comedian / 'Fat Les' front man) to kill her but with a twist that made himself the murderer. How? Well thats the cleverness of the story / plot. The 'hit man' had a name that when the letters were re-arrange, spelled out the Husband's actual name... and when confronted ... the hitman never existed. Cool or what? More to the point, it was nice seeing 'Rodney Trotter' playing a devious landlord. Shows the actors true potential and also shows they can cope with any role and be convincing. I certainly was, because I was gob smacked at the end. As I was after every Murder In Mind show.
