Birmingham, 9 October 2025 — The cult interactive phenomenon Solve‑Along‑A‑Murder‑She‑Wrote returns to Birmingham’s Square Eyes Festival with an audience‑powered screening of the classic Murder, She Wrote episode “The Sins of Castle Cove” on Saturday 8 November 2025 at The Crossing, Digbeth (B5 5SU).

With special permission from NBCUniversal Television, Solve‑Along‑A‑Murder‑She‑Wrote has played to sell‑out audiences across the UK and Australia, was named one of Time Out’s “50 Great Nights Out in London” (2019 & 2021), and was a hit of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023 & 2024.
Hosted by super‑fan Tim Benzie, the show features:
• A race to solve the crime via the Fameometer and Suspiciometer
• The Cabot Cove Quiz
• A singalong to the theme tune (with brand‑new lyrics)
• Clips, bios and trivia celebrating the campiest guest stars
