Seven men are each frightened to death just by looking out of an old pub window. A High Court judge is murdered in a locked and guarded room.

How the bejeezus do you explain these two things?

Maddie becomes embroiled in the former after going for dinner with a nudist, and Jonathan is strongarmed into assisting with the latter by the cantankerous D.I. Ken Speed.

Once again, long-dead William Topaz McGonagall (perhaps the world’s shittest ever poet) resurrects himself from the grave to watch the episode and pen some doggerel about it.

Mother Redcap was the sixth and final episode of the second series of Jonathan Creek, airing on 28th February 1998.
