A shaggy, reticent deviser of magic stunts and a pushy crime journalist team up for a popular murder mystery series with a difference. The hottest partnership since Mulder and Scully, Jonathan Creek and Maddy Magellan investigate crimes which baffle the police and seem to have no rational explanation. But Creek, who works as a creative consultant to a stage magician, often finds that the answer lies in illusion. A BAFTA-winning series by David Renwick, starring Alan Davies, Caroline Quentin, and later Julia Sawalha as Carla Borrego and Sheridan Smith as Joey Ross.
