Nine Lives?

[kittiwake]

Murder Game is a BBC game show, in which 10 people are trying to solve a murder. Actors play the suspects and witnesses, and the investigators go out from their HQ to interview then, follow up new leads and look for clues. Every day the real-life ex-policeman who is running the investigation tells them what lines of enquiry they will be following that day. Every two days the murderer leaves photos of two locations and investigators vote on who will have to go out there to face the murderer. The ex-policeman gets the unlucky two to choose a location sealed in a plain envelope, and then they are driven out there and one finds a clue while the other is 'killed' by the murderer and is out of the game.

Last night was the 7th episode, and so far Andrew has been voted for on 6 occasions, as the others feel that he is a weak link and is holding them back. Last week they felt sorry for him and didn't vote for him, but he was chosen again in last night's episode. The murder location is chosen in advance and the ex-policeman doesn't even know which it is, but somehow Andrew has come back alive each time.

So is he clairvoyant, allowing him to choose the safe location each time? Or does he just have the sort of luck that would have made him a player in the recent Spanish film "Intacto"?
