Murder in Successville series 3: meet the celebrities
Richard Osman, Professor Green, Lorraine Kelly, Martin Kemp and Reggie Yates join BBC3's cop comedy improv series
DI Sleet is back on the beat for BBC3, with Murder in Successville series three beginning Wednesday 19 April.
Each episode of the BBC3 comedy series features Sleet (played by Tom Davies) investigate a murder in the crime and celebrity-ridden town of Successville.
The twist is, every week he's joined by a new celebrity sidekick, who has never seen the script and has no idea what's going on.
Who are the brave/foolish celebrities joining the show this time round?
The Pointless presenter joins Sleet to investigate a dastardly art heist and murder in 'The Brass Gnome'. Singer Bjork has been killed, and Osman's investigation takes him undercover, posing as a statue in Hilary Clinton's art class. As you do.
Episode 2: Martin Kemp
