Do not buy christmas special as stated on frequently bought together.
The box set is great but you already know this if you have ever saw any episode of Johnathan Creek, so I would definetly recommend buying this box set. However what I wouldn't recommend doing is buying the Christmas specials, which amazon says is frequently bought with this item, as the Christmas specials are included in the box set so there is no need. A lesson I learned much to my cost, due to the fact amazon told me they are frequently bought together.

Take Care when Ordering
This is offered so that you can purchase both the box set and the Charistmas specials - be aware that the christmas specials are included in the box set - so if you click to order both you will recieve 2 christmas specials,and waste money

totally addictive
i've loved the Jonathan creek series right from the beginning, Alan Davies plays such a good part, along with Caroline Quentin, they go together like bread and butter, the banter between them is so amusing, never quite getting together, this box set was a very good investment as i will have hours and hours of my fave viewing for years to come. the story lines have all been good, and i love the explanations at the end of each programme.

Jonathan Creek
I was always an avid fan of Jonathan Creek when it was first aired on the BBC. I was going to buy series 1&2 and series 3&4 boxsets sparately until I saw this boxset with the christmas specials included.

I like all the episodes ones that stand out for me are The house of Monkeys, The problem at Gallows Gate, Eye of the tiresias, Ghost's Forge, Miracle in Crooked Lane and both christmas specials. Series 4 was good but I have yet to watch it.

I do prefer Madeline to Carla however that doesn't make episodes with Carla in any less interesting. A worthwhile purchase, I can't wait for the brand new christmas special.

Jonny Creek
I have to say it is one of my favourite shows to ever be on television. With most who dunnits, it is a case of who and why. It this case of Jonathan Creek, it's how. From locked room mysterys to people vanishing in the blink of an eye. Jonathan Creek solves the impossible again and again.

The second part of Creek in the first 3 series is the on/off relationship with Maddy. This can sometimes consume half the episodes themselves and blend seamlessly with the story.

I find myself watching these again and again, even if you remember how it's done, watching it back a second time is still easily done.

This set also features the Christmas Specials, which are a bit longer than normal and a bit higher in budget. With a new Christmas Special coming in December 2008, this set would be a fantastic addition to any collection to get you in the mood.
