A house vanishes into the ether. A man dies without cause on his own front lawn. A woman falls to her death but later wanders into a field. All inexplicable… right? Joey and Jonathan have a list of weird stuff as long your arm to solve in this Easter special. While that’s all happening, Adam Klaus repeatedly falls victim to internet mischief makers.

People have disappeared from a locked attic room in the middle of the night on several occasions over many years. But how? The house may belong to a magician, but perhaps it’s his creepy old mother on whom suspicion should fall… Meanwhile, Klausy has decided to plunge a load of cash into the emerging world of 3D porn.

A priceless porcelain statue disappears into thin air despite being under the watchful eye of three museum guards. Impossible, surely? Suspicion falls on the curator and her daughter, who may or may not have hidden the coveted figurine in the woods behind their house. Elsewhere, Adam has apparently hypnotised an old woman beyond return, and deals with the matter by going on a low-rent reality show.

An esteemed police officer is photographed sneering at a hanged woman, but denies being a murderer. Chewing gum in a plant pot, walnuts sown into pyjamas and a bible in a wooden box are among the strange clues to consider. Meanwhile, Adam is channelling (i.e. ripping off) David Blaine for attention.

When a paranormal investigator drowns his sorrows and then, accidentally, himself, it makes no sense; after all, his lover had just given him some great news. He appears to then contact her from beyond his watery grave, which is astonishingly inexplicabe. Unless you’re Jonathan Creek, who somehow makes it… explicable. Meanwhile, Adam is on a quest to prove his diversity awareness, largely because it could help him get his end away.

An ageing fashion designer defenestrates himself from the third floor of his family home, taking his beloved parrot with him for good measure. Why? When his grieving son pulls off an impossible identity-changing trick just days later, there’s only one shaggy-haired, duffel coat-clad man who can explain things. Meanwhile, moronic moron Kenny Starkiss gets into league with some foreign baddies. What a chump.

When a philandering composer’s bit on the side has all her hair chopped off by kidnappers, surely it’s physically impossible for it to grow back in just two days? Elsewhere, when a ventriloquist’s dummy is built umpteen times larger than it should have been, Jonathan needs to figure out how to keep the show on the road. And has he finally found a new paramour? Not if she keeps on treating him like a replacement for her dead spaniel, that’s for sure.

When a police officer is strangled to death in a locked gymnasium that the killer couldn’t possibly have escaped from, nobody can explain it. She’s the third victim of a mysterious killer who knocks about the place wearing a Davy Crockett-style hat - how many more will there be? Jonathan and Carla Borrego not only cross paths again but become colleagues on her new TV show. But will past indignations stymie everything?

Actress Vivien Brodie is shot dead in impossible circumstances on the set of her latest film. When her ex-husband is found dead just a few days later, it doesn't take a genius to work out that there's some kind of connection... but what is it? Meanwhile, Adam Klaus and Jonathan find themselves in a vertical but thankfully fully-clothed 69 position, and whilst Maddie may be gone, a new laydee is about to enter JC's life.

After drug baron Frank Geiger has several bullets pumped into his brain and is left in a locked basement, that really ought to have been that. However, when the police end up finding him, his corpse has somehow managed to climb a set of stairs. Meanwhile, Adam Klaus is up for a prestigious award, but takes umbrage when he’s beaten to it by drag act Deborah Cadabera.

When a former glamour model is burned alive (to death) after her cigarette falls into a lawnmower’s fuel tank, the last thing you’d expect is for her to be wandering down a country lane just a few hours later. Nevertheless, a completely reliable witness says that this is exactly what happened. How bizarre. Meanwhile, Maddie books Jonathan in to do a Q&A with the Jonathan Creek Fan Club, much to the man’s umbrage.
