Description
A character line-up for my Crazy Cluedo project.

Stood in front, dressed in grey, is the butler/narrator whose job is to be the player’s guide in the game. His name is Earle Grey and he’s played by me in an ill-fitting skin wig! Yes, that guy is supposed to be my personal character model in disguise. I play an undercover police inspector (Fred Herring) sent to help the player.
Myself and my mother are responsible for the names...

The other characters, from left to right, are:
Miss Scarletina Scarlett - depicted in my version as Dr Black's niece; he is her legal guardian. Sometimes appear giddy and infantile, but also very cunning and devious and ready to do anything to get her own way. She's a bit of a spoiled brat, really.

Colonel Coleman Mustard - a so-called friend of Dr Black. A retired colonel, late of her Majesty’s army, something of a ladies man and often vying for Mrs Peacock’s favours. He has impeccable manners and something more than a hint of a ruthless streak.

Mrs Snowdrop White - housekeeper to Dr Black. She takes care of everything, often Black’s own ‘good’ name if anything goes wrong. Secretly, she hates him. He owes her several months’ wages and always puts it down to being poor. This is, of course, far from the truth and everyone knows it!

Mr Ewe the Inspector - the Inspector is the player... you. With no distinguishing traits except for an all-covering brown trench-coat, wide-brimmed hat and glowing white eyes, the player is left free to imagine himself/herself in the costume actually investigating the murder mystery in person.

Reverend Bethnal Green - a so-called friend of Dr Black. A quiet, pious-looking type, but he has a lot to hide. Apparently, his profits are not exactly ‘heaven sent’ and he is a shrewd fellow who knows what he wants and how to get it.

Mrs Prunella Peacock - a so-called friend of Dr Black. An imposing widow with a tendency to be rather arrogant with everyone around her. She is beginning to realise her funds are not limitless and has hooked up with Dr Black in a hope of getting an inside track with him, but Dr Black loves only money.

Professor Victor Plum - a so-called friend of Dr Black. In his old age, he has become rather absentminded and eccentric. He needs money to fund an expedition to search for a cure for chronic galloping dandruff. Plum is also stubborn and often gets himself into scrapes over the silliest things.

Dr Cole Black - the inscrutable owner of Tudor Close. A rich bachelor who is feared and hated more than he is loved. Every week, he comes up with a new scam and each time it embroils every one of the six suspects. However silly their motives may seem, it always leads to murder... but Dr Black always gets resurrected for next week's story - a bit like John from the IMP.
