5 ways to make 'Jonathan Creek' good again
Here's how it can, maybe, hopefully, get its magic back...
Rob Smedley, Cult Box, 8th August 2016BBC confirms new Jonahtan Creek special, Daemons' Roost
BBC One is filming a new 90 minute Jonathan Creek special, Daemons' Roost. It's about a horror film director, and guest stars include Warwick Davis.
British Comedy Guide, 2nd August 2016Return of the unscripted show in which comic guests tell anecdotes and generally wibble on. First up, Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, Sara Pascoe and Alex Edelman swap stories. Even if you''e minded to be cynical about letting comedians chatter so, the format works, principally because the intimate everyone-sitting-at-a-table setup makes it a kind of anti-Mock The Week - reflective rather than competitive. Continues all week.

Digital Spy, 11th June 2016Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled - series 4 review
The best thing about As Yet Untitled is the relaxed atmosphere. It is not a show about who has the best story to tell. It is a show that is about conversation.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 11th June 2016Alan Davies considered quitting QI when Fry did
Alan Davies has admitted that he considered leaving QI when Stephen Fry announced his decision to quit, but joked that he will wait until he's "pushed".
Catriona Wightman, Digital Spy, 10th June 2016Channel 4 to film Jo Brand and Alan Davies sitcom Damned
Channel 4 has ordered a full series of Damned, the sitcom starring Jo Brand and Alan Davies as social workers.
British Comedy Guide, 25th May 2016It's the beginning of the end, the first episode of Stephen Fry's final season as host of QI - and after 13 years and 180 or so shows, the letter M is as good a place as any to pull the plug. It's M for medicine this week, and it doesn't take long for the teams - Alan Davies and Lucy Porter to Fry's right, Matt Lucas and Ross Noble to his left - to start sniggering at all those bodily references. You might argue it's vaguely educational - I mean, who knew there was such a treasure trove of smut to be found in a teddy bear? - but the real joy of QI lies in the way its panellists can find a double entendre (sometimes a single one) lurking around the most earnest corner.
Karl Quinn, Sydney Morning Herald, 20th April 2016Jonathan Creek to return for 20th anniversary special
