I am revving up for our watch party!
You will need to have the episode ready on your DVD player or preferred streaming service. We’ll all press play at the same time once everyone has gathered in the chatroom.
If you are not in the UK, check the start time wherever you are in the world with World Time Buddy.
We’ll be communicating throughout the show via the chat function within the Substack app - it will be our own private party. If you don’t already have the app, here’s a link for accessing it. You can access the chatroom via your phone or via computer - so modern!
Here’s the bingo card; you can either print this out or draw it up yourself on a piece of paper.
The bingo game begins after the opening credits, and there will be a small prize for the first person to call FULL HOUSE! So keep your eyes peeled.

There’s only one rule for the watch party really, if you know whodunit, please keep it to yourself! Oh, and be nice in the chat. But of course, I haven’t met a fan of Murder, She Wrote yet who ISN’T nice.
Here’s a checklist for you…
Spread the word to all the Murder, She Wrote fans you know. The more, the merrier.
