Half-man, half-weasel Norman is adamant he was in New York rather than the Bishop’s Stortford branch of Wimpy, but a burger flipper insists he’s lying - and there’s photos to prove it.

Things go from bad to worse when a firework goes off in his face… or does it?

In an episode where nothing seems to add up, Maddie and Jonathan query how someone can do a return trip from NYC to eastern Hertfordshire in only a few hours.

Once again, long-dead William Topaz McGonagall (often described as the worst poet to have ever walked the earth) resurrects himself from the grave to watch the episode and pen some lines about it.

Time Waits For Norman was the second episode of the second series of Jonathan Creek, airing on 31st January 1998.

Dr. Elliott Strange is found dead in his locked office with a massive sword through his back.

The slight issue in identifying the perpetrator is that the room is locked from the inside, the windows barred, and nobody could possibly have escaped without being seen.

It can’t have been suicide… surely?

With monkeys aplenty knocking around the house, not to mention the wider Strange family living up to their name, Maddie and Jonathan find themselves in their oddest kerfuffle yet.

And what exactly does a UFO shaped like a goose have to do with all this?

The House of Monkeys was the fifth and final episode of the first series of Jonathan Creek, airing on 7th June 1997.

Surely prog-rock legend Roy Pilgrim didn’t abduct a schoolgirl? How could he, when he was handcuffed to a radiator, Terry Waite-style?

As he protests his innocence and a local cult back him to the hilt, his bitchy fiancée Francine loses faith in him.

Thankfully for Roy, Jonathan is a huge fan and teams up with Maddie once again to get to the bottom of what happened to young Tracy Cook.

We also hear about model railways, Suffolk-based ale producers and a tragic airport accident in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
