I hope that on whatever date it premieres, we get it the very same day over here.
Jonathan Creek originally started in 1997 and ran until 2004, bar a couple of one-off specials afterwards, and is about a man who works as a creative consultant for a magician and lends his talents and knowledge of illusionism to tackling particularly baffling crimes and murders. Generally crimes or murders with seemingly no logical explanation. I watched at least the first two series at the time and enjoyed it but havent seen it since. I also wasn't entirely sure what to expect, as I felt that I could well have a very different opinion going back and watching it now.
it's still good though. It's a little silly and a little over-the-top in places. It also adopts the cliche murder-mystery "Oh darn, you got me!" formula when he simply offers a theory and the culprit spills their guts. It is however just very enjoyable and some of the plotlines, as far fetched as they may be, are interesting.
Looking forward to the new special for 2013 that the BBC have recently announced.
