Mystery with colourful reverend in the cast? (5)

Colourful referring to green and used as an anagram indicator.

I understand that in North America Reverend Green is Mr Green. Also, in Australia, Cluedo was a TV game show.

@chrise,
Hi!
The DBE, indicated by the question mark, is courtroom drama ( a film genre).
GEN is an abbreviation of "genitive" a case in grammar.
I got this from B. J. Holmes "Pocket Crossword Dictionary".
Rabbi = R
East = E
Hope this helps.
