  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Jonathan Creek
Jonathan Creek is a British mystery television series produced by the BBC and written by David Renwick.
Jonathan's trademark duffle coat was actually Alan Davies' own coat that he wore to the auditions; it helped him win the role, as the writer and producers thought it suited the character.
Jonathan and Maddie are prompted to investigate by the dead woman's daughter— an old flame of Jonathan's— with the help of the debonair Gideon Pryke, the police officer officially in charge of the case, whose attitude annoys both Jonathan and Maddie.

 Picturing Justice. The Magical World of Jonathan Creek by Christine Corcos
Creek discovers how the deed was done, but refuses to divulge the truth to the owners, preferring to satisfy himself that his solution is the correct one by confronting the thieves.
Jonathan Creek's notion of ethics is an unusual one for American audiences used to the sometimes excessively moralizing of law and order shows.
Creek decides that if he was murdered, and the murderer could not have escaped the bunker, then "whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth"-the murderer must still be somewhere in the bunker.

 OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/1999/Jonathan Creek
The characters of Jonathan and Maddy are now as comfortable to us and as consistent as Eric and Ernie (another touchstone of the '70s BBC).
The pivotal moment of tonight's Creek occurred whilst we were laughing at a misassumption that Maddy was Jewish (a throwaway gag that ran happily throughout the episode) as she struggled for a seat in the public gallery of a court room where our B-story was taking place.
It was here that the camera began it's inexorable pan in on Jonathan, as watching Maddy kicked off associations in his mind that, for him, unlocked the mystery.

 OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2003/Jonathan Creek
Contemporary viewers now come to Creek informed by the detection practices of CSI and the character motivations of A Touch of Frost.
Whilst Renwick's creation might scream loudly to the contrary, in today's television schedule (in which a shared notion of realism seems to permeate all dramas) this latest series of Jonathan Creek is likely to attract a new generation of floating detective show viewers on the hunt for their next "touch of frost".
Jonathan Creek can never be wholly satisfying when the solution relies on an electronic gadget, and consequently this episode's reliance on lateral thinking instead of an asphyxiating bullet-proof vest was very welcome.

The third and fourth series of Jonathan Creek sees a dramatic shift in the on screen dynamics due to the fact that Caroline Quentin bows out as Maddy Magellan at the end of the third series and is replaced by Julia Sawalha's Carla Borrego.
Creek is called in when it appears that Gordon's character has committed suicide.
Although this mystery is not really one that should have been brought to Creek's attention - the murderer is already known as he handed himself in - the mystery of how a dead man climbed a flight of stairs is baffling enough.

The whole premise of the show, if you haven't seen it, is this writer, Madeline Magellan, teams up together with this man, Jonathan Creek, who creates illusions for a magician by the name of Adam Klaus.
Jonathan is a sort of eccentric man living in a windmill who has an amazing way of figuring out "locked room msyteries".
Every one of the episodes leaves you wondering how on earth the crime was committed when there was no way in or out of a room, or it would seem a person had to be two places at once, or some other unexplainable mystery had taken place.
