Re: Johnathan Creek
Well tonight's story had more holes than a sieve. The balloons attached to the tables in the marquee had obviously been filled with helium or how else would they have been floating above the tables? So why was the wife blowing them up by mouth? Why indeed was she blowing them up herself at all? There were more than enough staff around to carry out such a 'menial' task. Furthermore she was not wearing the silver dress/jacket combo in the marquee so how did a balloon get in her pocket? A balloon filled with merely exhaled air would not have been sufficient to carry the stocking, never mind a stocking and heavy watch combo, it certainly would not have flown up into the air the way that one did. As for the dead body saga and the photo stuff they were dreadful padding for an altogether stupidly unbelievable story. So glad there were only the three.I think we should all write to POV and complain, or to QI and tell him off.

If I were a wealthy woman I wouldn't be blowing up balloons, nor climbing ladders as my staff would do that for me, but I would over-see.
Thing is, I can absolutely see why others are reprimanding this new series and I totally agree as I wanted Jonathan to still live in a windmill with a comical side-kick, but I just can't help myself. I love the plots and solutions, so I shall continue to watch.

Re: Johnathan Creek
I can't say I've ever watched the program......but I am very into spotting continuity bloopers & this series looks like it may have them in abundace.However , nothing will ever match the great numbers of errors in DEADLY WEAPONS,starring CHESTY MORGAN, a classic of it's time & so bad it was good..I saw it in the Essoldo in Chelsea many years ago , I was lodging with my Uncle Vivian at ther time.

Chesty Morgan was the famous "hunchfront" wasn't she?!!
I'm forever picking up continuity errors too - drives me up the wall but you get it in books too!
Whatever happened to CONTINUITY EDITORS and / or PROOF READERS in the Print?
And I say this as an ex-BBC employee of ten years!
Is there such an affliction as Meldrewism? stevmk2
