As Creek and Polly settle into rural life they find their apparently serene village is riddled with strange undercurrents. A sordid sex scandal breaks in the community centre, and at the vicarage tales of a 'weird hump-backed beast' seen prowling at night are rife. Creek, meanwhile, finds himself visiting the eccentric Mr Ipswich - a.k.a. 'The Amazing Astrodamus' - a reclusive psychic who brings the village to a standstill with the most baffling act of clairvoyance in history.

The first signs of conjugal friction begin to appear for the Creeks, when a glamorous woman from the past re-appears. In parallel, the couple's new cleaner details her plans to see a male escort behind her husband's back. But when her evening takes a tragic turn they are called to help, and so begins a bizarre spiral of events involving mistaken identity, the disposal of a dead body, and a miraculous act of teleportation.

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.

Decent British series that doesn't take itself too seriously, can be a little silly at times but enjoyable for it.
