The series features the exploits of Jonathan Creek (Alan Davies), a designer of illusions for a stage magician, and Maddie Magellan (Caroline Quentin), a pushy journalist, as they work together to solve baffling crimes where others have failed to do so. The series started in 1997; there have been four series to date.
In the latest series (first aired on British television in 2003) Caroline Quentin was not available to take part in filming, and so a second supporting role was introduced: Carla Borrega, played by Julia Sawalha.
