It didn't start well. A couple of minutes in, the passenger in the car reached over to the car CD player in the BMW... And it was a model from 2000 or so.
I said about that :lol: But i was just called a geek and told to shut upIt seemed like there were some scenes missing or something to me? Especially between the "reveal" at the Judas tree, and talking to the old cleaner woman.
Also something I didn't understand...
When the man and woman said "of course we didn't know about her illness" - had that been mentionned at any point? I don't get it

They created the mystery by just not telling us anything. "Oh by the way I was tried for the murder of my bosses brother, could that have been a motive?" and "have you seen my best friend anywhere? she seems to have gone missing".
Also when she was grabbed by the man at the begging there was just grass no massive false house and huge ammounts of scafolding on top of him.sherman said:
How did they get out of the cellar that they were stuck in with the tons of logs on top of the trap door?
Policeman searching heard them.Better than the last Christmas special where the lack of action by the Police was more baffling than the plot.
Most of the "holes" were explained but you had to be watching carefully. As for why the girl didn't mention the "Murder" She had been cleared of, would you?? It could also be the memory she referred to that covered it up. It should have been brought up in court though unless there is some rule that would preclude it.

I agree about the cut scenes, it needed to be a full 2 hour programme and felt like it had been edited down. When it got to the reveal I found myself thinking "yes, but hang on..." rather too much. The text message thing with Mrs Warboys was waaay too much of a Hitchcock style maguffin.
So many problems with both the filming and the plot. In the 1988 scenes, she wouldn't have been wearing low cut hipster jeans but relatively high waisted ones. Which reminds me, I'm generally all for girls wearing jeans so tight you can read their lips, but Sheridan Smith is possibly a bit too, er, curvy to carry them off. I still would though. In the denouement scene at the tree, one of the torches kept turning from an LED (blue light) one to a bulb one (yellow light).
But, and it is a big but, I would still love to see another series of Jonathan Creek.

You sure they said illness? If you mean at the end they were talking about not knowing she was pregnant
