Welcome to See How They Run, a new murder mystery comedy with no shortage of charisma, charm and laugh-out-loud moments.

Directed by Tom George – director of the award-winning BBC3 cult-hit comedy series This CountrySee How They Run is a hilarious whodunit, featuring an A-list cast with Hollywood and British comedy favourites.

So, how did you do?

Mostly As: The seasoned detective

You’ve cracked the case! You’d make a fantastic detective. You’re calm and collected, trust your instincts, and are naturally talented at identifying patterns and solving puzzles. You take your time gathering your evidence and interviewing your suspects. While you enjoy the glitz, glamour and gore of the job, you remain focused until you find justice for your victims.

Mostly Bs: The rookie constable

It appears your detective skills aren’t quite up to par… You’re easily sidetracked, quick to jump to conclusions, and occasionally gag when you enter a gruesome crime scene. Not ideal for solving a homicide. Suffice to say you’re better off at home watching a murder mystery from the safety of your couch than trying to solve one yourself.
