One of the TV critics was saying what a great episode it was and I couldn't believe I'd been watching the same one. It was so much better with Caroline Quentin and the constant bickering and will they, won't they?

We tried to like it, really did. DH wanted to turn off half way through but I prevailed on him to wait until the end to give it chance. He was right - shouldn't have bothered.

I thought it was just me, but after I watched half I wasn't interested any more. I always saw Jonathan Creek on a par with Lovejoy, which I will watch again and again, but the quality is not the same now.

Was disappointed that I'd forgotten to watch it but looks as if I've got off lightly smile. The trailer looked good.....

No wonder they only commissioned three episodes. Very disappointing, I agree - and the new wife has been in so many other tv programmes...

I did manage to do some knitting as well as follow what plot there was, which means there wasn't much of one!

Yes, it was indeed an insult to our bottoms!grin

DH and I just thought "that is another hour we will get never get back" Agree, poor television.

We were very surprised and thought they could have left the mystery of how the actress was stabbed until the end when Jonathan would have revealed how it was done.

Did not enjoy it much, used to love it. Caroline Quentin, then wotsername, Smiffie's sister from Gavin and Stacey were more entertaining.

more like 'up the creek, and without a paddle!' I had looked forward to the return of Jonathan, but oh dear! it was not the same tv show. No Adam Klaus [his former boss] and suddenly he is married? To somebody [that I] haven't seen on a Creek programme.He looks old and tired, and so did the plot and the writing.No sparkle or real repartee. The viewer knew how the actress was stabbed [and it had been covered up, literally] from the outset.Very poor sad
