Hi, my wife and I watch the UK TV series "Midsommer Murders" and there are so many characters introduced in such a short period of time that I have started to write down their names and then a nick name so that I can remember them. Then I would try to link who knew who and what the relationship was.
The other week I decided to do it by Mind Mapping and it was much easier to understand and follow. It was as if a veil had been lifted from my eyes. I began to know the characters and their role within the story.
It was most enjoyable.
I know that for detective stories like Columbo it would not work because everybody already knows who the murderer is. The only question is "How does Columbo catch him / her out?"
It just shows how a complex set of inter-related data can be joined together in such a way that it is fun, enjoyable and understandable.
Have Fun,
Tom
