Following several disappearances from a gloomy old attic known as The Nightmare Room, Creek is completely baffled by the gothic house.

Trapped by Mountain Lions: In The Clue of the Savant's Thumb, Joanna Lumley's character is haunted by her past at a girl's boarding school in which one girl died in her bed and was found with a strange circle on her forehead.

As the series progresses, Creek gradually changes from an asocial anorak (nerd) to a man with a great deal of wit and charm. This helps to fuel the romantic thread between him and Maddy. Jonathan's trademark duffle coat worn in the first series was actually Alan Davies' own coat that he wore to the auditions; it helped him win the role, as the writer and producers thought it suited the character. After the first series, Jonathan's coat was supplied by the wardrobe department. Davies kept the original at his home, and wore it again for the 2009 New Year special.
