Up The Creek: A Jonathan Creek Podcast

Every great Jonathan Creek episode consists of three parts or acts: The Effect, The Method, and The Reveal. There’s also a fair amount of grot, things that really shouldn’t be said anymore, and one of television’s most enduring romances. Join Gav Murphy and Daniel Krupa as they break down all 32 episodes of Jonathan Creek, the classic British TV show about a magician’s assistant who solves impossible crimes, which they watched religiously as kids (and now, as adults). Up The Creek is the definitive Jonathan Creek companion.

Ben Mitchell

Michael. Excellent insight into the world of Johnathan Creek and Maddy Magellan. A deep dive into all the best bits (and not so great bits) of every episode so far. These boys have done their research, and there should be no question about this being the definitive Creek companion. P.S I am performing magic whilst writing this.
