Did anyone else watch it tonight

i used to love that programme when it used to be on

does anyone know if its coming back as a series or was it just a one off special??

hope it does come back as a series, it was a good one tonight, Alan Davies really does crack me up, his stand up is hilarious as is he on Qi

we watched it Shaz. I always like watching it

It was brilliant, but it gave me nightmares last night!!

It was very funny in parts, but also very dark and sinister in others, ive seen every episode of Jonathan Creek and this one definately ranks within the best!!

And its showers all the way for me now..... I dont think i'll have a bath ever again! lol.

That's all they seem to be saying yet Flashy .. 'just one off special' .. so looks like no plans as yet to make another series.

Disturbed me a little too .. think due to the fact do have a recurring dream whereby I own a large house such as this one. Some of the rooms are cosy and warm, but there is an attic room such as this one that I only get half way to before I have to turn back with fear.. LOL. Daft I know, but did remind me of this dream.

Also, I got a little lost when he was going on about the triangle and the bird crashing in the window, and the steps didn't always lead up to where you thought they would go ? Also did he put the body of his girlfriend in the water tank ? Was that many floating about, could have missed her.

lol, katex, his girlfriend left him for the other womans boyfriend that we only saw on her mobile (max headroom as jonathon called him

)

dont know about everyone else but i do think we saw a little too much of the blond one (janet from two pints) when she fell into the water tank nekked

No, I meant the villain's girlfriend. Who was that actor on the mobile anyway ?

Her bad back recovered quick though didn't it .. LOL.

Think may have to watch it again to fully understand what he was one about..

Speak for yourself, I was hoping we would see a lot more of her

emamum · 02-01-2009, 18:41

did you see the 'bottom' shot as she fell into the tank?

Neil · 02-01-2009, 18:47

you could not see anything - if you think you could you must have imagined it.

Mmmmm . could be correct. So, what did he do with her then ? That was only the dummy wasn't it when the police came ?
Gawd ! I did lose the plot, didn't I ?

Neil · 02-01-2009, 18:52

I will not be doing a catch up Kate.

They did not find the body of his girlfriend and yes you did loose the plot

Lolly · 02-01-2009, 18:55

It didnt actually mention finding the girlfriends body, coz when the (eventually!!) phoned the police he'd moved the body and it was the dummy that the police found.

The bird thing is a little more difficult to explain, i got it, but i'll give it a go. When Jonathan and Joey were in the attic room the bird hit the window, but Jonathan went outside and the bird was under a different window, this made Jonathan realise that the "attic" room may not be where they thought it was, if you remember he checked the room that they thought was under the attic, but that wasnt the room under it. It was built to look like an attic so that a water tank so big could be concealed.

If that makes any sense, it does in my head, but actually typing it out taking some concentration.

I know, but no harm in asking you lot ... been puzzling over it all day ..

So if they didn't find the body, how come they were going to charge him with murder then ? Or was he getting charged for trying to pulp the brains out of his reporter accomplice ?
