Just a quick note in reply to the reviewer here who praises the writers - Jonathan Creek is in fact written by one person, David Renwick. I'm guessing the reviewer here is from America, where series are invariably written by a team of writers. David Renwick also wrote One Foot In The Grave and more recently Love Soup. Both of these show the same brilliantly twisty plotting and surreal black humour as Jonathan Creek.

Jonathan Creek is the best example of old time TV. At first look you might think that the series' are short but once you've seen them you'll understand just why. Each of the episodes are magnificently written, with great a great mysteries to be solved.

I love Jonathan Creek and bought it as soon as I saw it on play. Alan Davies is Jonathan Creek and definitely makes the character his own. Caroline Quentin is great too, and makes the perfect assistant to Jonathan Creek. Julia Sawalha is okay, but will never be able to replace Caroline Quentin.

The boxset is well worth the money for all 4 series'. If you like mysteries and smart plots you will love this. A better version of Midsummer Murders and Jack Frost without the terrible acting.

5 stars for the writers who make Jonathan Creek what it is!
But i didn't like the Boxset and thought it looked cheap to be honest so......

4.5 stars overall.

im a bit young to remeber when this was on t.v, but last year i went to the middle east to visit my dad, he had this on dvd and i started watching it and loved it, he bought me this for christmas, and i have watched them all over and over again, even though i know whats going to happen - i still love them!

Jonathan works as an inventor of magical tricks. His employer Adam Klaus is a womanizing, good for nothing, cheating swine.

His good but strange relationship with Maddy (an investigative journalist) turns to solving some of the most exciting and complicated mysteries to date.

I hugely recommend this box set to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. Although not all the mysteries are murder related, they are still vastly intriguing and extremely fascinating.

Jonathan Creek brings something totally original to television. This is an absolute must for any detective/mystery fans. The on-screen chemistry between Alan Davis and Caroline Quentin is really top-notch, providing a scattering of comic moments in amongst the suspense and drama that make up this fantastic TV series.

Everything about this show is pure brilliance and a hilarious cast contributes to a great bbc show! It's scary, funny and inciteful! BUY IT NOW
