Jonathan Creek is a
BBC TV drama series about an illusion designer (played by Alan Davis) who lives in a windmill and becomes involved in mysteries, at least partly due to the machinations of reporter Maddie Magellan (played by Caroline Quentin). It is written by
David Renwick.
It started in 1997 and there have (as of mid-2000) been 3 season and a Christmas special. A fourth season has I believe been commissioned but is not scheduled any time soon.
