About this show

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.

Dynamics have changed too much. Not the same anymore. A pity cos Alan Davis is a great actor.
