DVD Description
Jonathan and Maddy – what a lovely couple they make. Or is it just an illusion? Just when the lateral-thinking crime-busters seem to be capturing each other’s hearts as well as criminals, a new foil to Jonathan’s sharp mind appears in the form of showbiz agent Carla Borrego.

'Black Canary'

The famous female illusionist, Marella Carney - The Black Canary - is found dead in her rambling mansion. For Jonathan, an encounter with both an old flame and the swashbuckling Detective Inspector Gideon Pryke (Rik Mayall) adds even more spice to an already baffling enigma.

When an actress is murdered on the set of her latest movie, Jonathan is called upon to explain how the killer managed to fire a gun through a plate glass window without breaking it. The funeral, held at the ancient Doomdorf Castle in Scotland presents more mysteries and Jonathan, without Maddy, has only a pushy showbiz agent (Julia Sawalha) to trust.

Although already seen on television these specials are good enough to stand multiple watchings; well written, well plotted, well acted, they show what heights good popular entertainment can reach. With the added bonus that they appeal to all ages, highly recommended.
