Not quite the same since he got married and usurped by Sherlock perhaps

Jonathan's wife just doesn't seem right for him.

I love the old Jonathan Creeks, watching them on Netflix. None of the specials of the last few years have been good unfortunately.

This is correct - very disappointing. Will have to be a major reversal for this one to be decent.

Alan Davies said that this is a good one and one of the spookiest ever.

I would really, really like for this to be a good one. The last few have been pretty dire but I'm going to give this one a chance.

Me too. He'd better be right.

Me too Holly.

I watched a few old JCs over Christmas, still great after all this time.

I don't like his wife and to have her constantly criticising him seems just silly.

Plus, I don't know what she is like in other progs ( not seen her in anything else ) but she is very stilted and wooden in this. They just don't gel.

Bring back Maddy and the Windmill !

Why they had to faff around with a perfectly good format I don't know.

It fundamentally changed the programme, and not for the better.

I have nothing against his wife, but the programme has lost almost all it's original quirkiness.

I'm usually easy going but even I didn't like the last series, it just didn't feel like the same tv show anymore and I agree it's his wife that's the main problem.

I will always continue to watch the new episodes, I just hope they'll go back to how it used to be.

Exactly - iirc she seems to be annoyed with Jonathan all the time, mainly because he's Jonathan. I can't imagine any scenario where they got together in the first place. What were the writers thinking?

I still haven't forgiven them for the way they written Maddie out in the first place...running off to America with someone she had only just met? Not in her character whatsoever

I quite like his wife. She's my favourite of all the women he's been partnered with. I've never understood the popularity of Maddie (possibly because I find Carolyn Quentin annoying whatever role she's playing).

I do wish he still lived in the lovely windmill though.

Hope tonight's episode is a return to the old (high) standard of writing.
