Creator Backlash: Chris Tarrant reportedly hated hosting Cluedo, saying it was the worst thing he had ever done, and that it took forever to make the thing; he snarked that they had to keep moving the studio audience so they would not get bedsores.
Several of the thirty performers who played the suspects had previously appeared in one or more episodes of Cluedo's spiritual predecessor, Whodunnit? (UK), as either suspects or guest detectives, including Stephanie Beacham (suspect in "Too Many Cooks"), Robin Nedwell (guest detective in "The Last Act", "A Bad Habit", and "Final Trumpet"), June Whitfield (guest detective in "A Deadly Tan"), Kate O'Mara (suspect in "No Happy Returns" and "Which-Eye Jack"), Mollie Sugden (guest detective in "Before Your Very Eyes"), Christopher Biggins (suspect in "Death at the Top"), and Joanna Lumley (guest detective in "Which-Eye Jack").
