Mentioned there on another thread. But really deserves it's own.

Fantastic series.
Think it's on uktv or something late at night.

So should there be more TV shows about crime fighting magicians?
Should magicians fight more crime in real life?

Red Sleeping Beauty

Loved it. Absolutly loved it. 2 of my favourites was "The Three Gamblers" and "Danse Macabre". The first 2 series where the better ones I thought.
I have the Xmas specials and the last 2series on dvd , I had the first 2 but I lent them to someone I worked with, left work and didn't get em back

That wiki page says there's a 2008 Xmas special

Was a great show and Alan Davies is brilliant.

A question though (and one that seems to be the theme of this forum), are they doing anything wrong by saying how the tricks are done? Maybe I'm way off and there workings arent accurate?

King Mob

If memory serves they didn't reveal too many tricks.
Even when they did it wasn't a masked magician kind of thing, more to advance the plot.

this is not strictly about j.creek (not at all actually)
does anyone remember a show with bill bixby called "the magician"
i loved it as a kid
cant understand why it has never been repeated
ok back to jonathan creek

Red Sleeping Beauty

Has anyone come across any news on this new episode for Xmas ? You'd imagine that it would be schedulded already. I can't find anything though

I saw the New Years episode, I wasn't that impressed. It didn't have the same magic (pardon the pun). Shame Caroline Quenlin wasn't in it. Thought it was a bit long and convulated, and just not very good.

The bath trick was excellent though.

I recorded it and havent gotten around to it yet. Definitely a pity Caroline Quentin isn't in it.
