"Clue" was sold in Britain by Waddington's under the name "Cluedo." I
used to have the game as a kid, and I think it's still available in
the stores.

The murdered owner was Dr. Black. The suspects were Colonel Mustard,
Rev. Green, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Miss Scarlett, and Mrs.
Peacock. The potential murder weapons were a dagger, a candlestick, a
rope, a revolver, a length of lead piping, and a spanner (wrench). I
know there were nine locations, including -- at least in the British
version -- a library, a study, a billiard room, and conservatory.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Oh yes, that's the way I remember it
also. Dr. Black had quite an elegant mansion with a library, billiard
room and observatory. But the American version as I recall it had
a slew of servants working for Dr. Black, including Cook and Butler,
all of whom apparently disliked the good doctor enough to kill him
sometimes in the version we played here. But we also had Professor
Plum, Reverend Green and the other characters you named. PAT]
