The Box Office Hit

The investigators

Co-ordinating the investigation is Jerome Lynch QC, a barrister, whose job it is to guide and judge the team’s solutions. He puts his clear-thinking legal brains to work, relentlessly forcing our investigators to arrive at the right answers. This week our sleuths are:

Liza Tarbuck, actress and bubbly TV presenter. Her upbeat approach, which led her to present breakfast TV before her success as an actress in Linda Green, could not be further from what you would expect of someone investigating a murder.

John Sergeant, who joined ITV News in March 2000 as political editor. He spent 8 years as BBC's chief political correspondent from 1992-2000 having joined the corporation as a radio reporter in 1970. He covered stories in more than 25 countries, including work as war correspondent in Cyprus, Vietnam, Rhodesia and Israel.

Tarbuck’s upfront attitude leads her to some key findings, but with the wily journalist Sergeant as part of her team, information is not shared and the pair reach different conclusions.
