5/10
A muddled episode.
9 May 2020
The Clue of the Savant's thumb is my least favourite episode of Jonathan Creek. At the time I remember being delighted that it was back, and was glad to see the return of Sheridan Smith.

The first half of the episode is good, the beginning is very good, unfortunately it tails off half way through, and ends poorly.

Jonathan and Joey could have been a fine team, they were wonderful in their first case, but they didn't get the same quality script, and lacked a bit of the chemistry they had previously shared.

Rik Mayall is the shining light, he's wonderful, it still upsets me so much that he went before his time. Nigel Planer is wasted, as is dare I say it Joanna Lumley.

I did miss the links to the past, the windmill, Adam Klaus, Maddy, at least they brought his duffle coat out.

The lowest point, but still a half decent watch, 5/10.
