PROGRAM 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…
