These days my favourite TV show is I’m a big detective. It is a reality show. Some stars take part in this show and one of them is criminal suspect,others need to catch the criminal suspect through the clues or evidences. At the end of the show, every one need to vote a criminal suspect and the person who voted the right one can win a gold bar. It is a very interesting show and audiences also can guess who is the criminal suspect. I like it.
