I've been watching Jonathan Creek too - the first series was kind of annoying in that the female sidekick was portrayed as constantly eating, just shovelling food in, presumably to indicate she was "fat". Second series the sidekick is a petite blonde, so no annoying chomping.

The plots are a bit repetitive - locked room mystery, mild peril to our heroes, Jonathan gets "that look" on finding a seemingly random connection/clue and bingo, solves the whole thing. But enjoyable enough.
