In case there are people who do not know what Jonathan Creek is:
(1997)

Plans are underway to make a 90 minute Christmas special which could see Jonathan Creek return to the screen for the first time in five years:
The Jonathan Creek Homepage Notice board
From Jonathan Creek creator David Renwick himself:
"Plans are moving forward for a 90-minute Christmas special. If all goes well and I get the script together in time we would then shoot it in the summer. After a five year break I think we're all looking forward to getting Creek back on the screen, and the BBC appear to be quite excited, so fingers crossed."

Ah yes I remember it. I used to freak out my mother by solving the mystery ahead of time. Guess the writers were autistic too.

I remember that one with the "alien" that was really just a statue made from a weird material that gave people burns, and then bam it just dissappeared from a government compound. Turns out it was made from mercury, frozen, so it was so cold it gave people burns, and of course, all they had to do to make it "dissappear" was to turn up the heat and let the mercury drain into its little pedestal thing.

BBC - Press Office - Jonathan Creek returns to BBC One
"Alan Davies is set to return as Jonathan Creek for a one-off special written by David Renwick, due for transmission later this year on BBC One.

The popular, award-winning comedy drama about the adventures of Jonathan Creek, the master of illusion who uses his brilliance and intellect to explain the unexplainable, begins filming this summer with guest star Sheridan Smith (Love Soup; Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps).

Stuart Milligan returns as illusionist Adam Klaus, Creek's employer."
