Here we are presented with the two lives of Johnathan Creek, the emasculated spouse of Polly. Who has apparently successfully saved him from his former self, and magically managed to rebirth him in a suit.
His previous female tormenter Joey Ross had sought him out, only to virtually step into one of their mystery worlds, to locate him in this parallel dimension.
I love his initial dialogue at their meeting that I just had to note it down verbatim, for me it's proof positive of the frontal lobotomy, his other half has successfully carried out on him.
"The fact that I've finally managed to turn my life around, progress my career. Do something a bit more grown up, responsible and creatively challenging. Only I've got a very important presentation to Wheetabix in five minutes".
Further proof of Polly Creek's mental manipulation of her new man, is presented later when she detected he may be regressing.
"Where's that little knob? You know the one we have to keep turning down, when your brain keeps getting over heated"
Polly Creek is however slipping in her reprogramming of Johnathan, as surprisingly she hasn't cast out, all of his old clobber to the jumble.
Joey Ross has a new ally in D. I. Gideon Pryke who had always rather, fancied himself as something of a Sherlock Holmes.
This episode is spiced up with a plethora of star turns in the shape of Joanna Lumley, Rick Mayall, and Nigel Planer.
