'Bow Street Runner' is set in London's Covent Garden in the 1750s. With crime and vice running at very high levels, and before the organised police force existed in England, local magistrates formed the Bow Street Runners and began to impose law and order.
Each episode of the game will lead the player to explore different crime scenes, collecting evidence, solving puzzles, interviewing characters and presenting the case to the magistrate for judgement. Will Fielding's fledgling police force gain the public's trust through successful convictions of hardened criminals? Only if the player, as Fielding's key Runner, can prove who did it…

Is there anyone else who is having
the same problems as l am with the
Bow Street Runner Game on Channel
4's official site?
For me it is the voice over and
music play over each other as well
as the game itself "crashes" in the
first scene.
So l was wondering if like with CDX
game which was put up on a site
available for those who lived outside of the UK,if something similar had been done with Bow Street Runner?
If so can anyone point me in the right direction.
