Release Date: 16th February 2004

Directors: Marcus Mortimer, Sandy Johnson, Keith Washington
DVD Region: Region 2
 

Description:
Jonathan Creek is a master of illusion. Deviser of magic, creator of miracles, Jonathan creates spectacular stage stunts from his home – a mysterious windmill in the heart of the country. His brilliant analytical mind penetrates the darkest corners and cracks the trickiest of puzzles. But no showman, he lurks backstage while his boss Adam Faust steps in the limelight. Then Jonathan meets unorthodox crime journalist Maddy Magellan, who soon discovers another use for his extraordinary talent – solving murder by magic.

The hottest partnership since Mulder and Scully, Jonathan and Maddy investigate crimes which seem to have no rational explanation. He is a bit of a nerd but he also a bit of a quick-witted genius. Maddy Magellan is an investigative crime writer, and the pair join forces to solve seemingly impossible crimes.

There’s a fair element of the Columbo in here – how did-they-do-it as opposed to whodunit – but with plenty of twists, so it’s never quite that simple…

Description:
In Jonathan Creek series 3 Jonathan teams up, once again, with unorthodox investigative writer Maddy Magellan to solve seemingly impossible crimes. With Maddy's inquiring mind and Jonathan's ability to "think round corners", they continue to investigate strange cases: a man who sells his soul to the Devil, an old lady who has the power to predict death through her dreams, an alien-life form that miraculously disappears and the death of an elderly hermit.

In series 4, prim, pushy Carla Borrego, whom he met during the Satan's Chimney case, helps Creek investigate a whole new set of curious cases, including the disappearance of a priceless porcelain figure which leads to a train of tragic events, the mysterious death of a "ghost hunter" whose own spirit seems to be desperately trying to communicate with his ex-lover and the revelation that a highly respected police officer could be a ruthless killer. Is Carla Borrego in danger? Is Jonathan Creek getting too close to the truth?

Description:
Jonathan and Maddy – what a lovely couple they make. Or is it just an illusion? Just when the lateral-thinking crime-busters seem to be capturing each other’s hearts as well as criminals, a new foil to Jonathan’s sharp mind appears in the form of showbiz agent Carla Borrego.

Black Canary
The famous female illusionist, Marella Carney - The Black Canary - is found dead in her rambling mansion. For Jonathan, an encounter with both an old flame and the swashbuckling Detective Inspector Gideon Pryke (Rik Mayall) adds even more spice to an already baffling enigma.

Satan's Chimney
When an actress is murdered on the set of her latest movie, Jonathan is called upon to explain how the killer managed to fire a gun through a plate glass window without breaking it. The funeral, held at the ancient Doomdorf Castle in Scotland presents more mysteries and Jonathan, without Maddy, has only a pushy showbiz agent (Julia Sawalha) to trust.
