14. The Omega Man

Maddie is summoned to a dark and dingy warehouse by Professor Lance Graumann to see an alien skeleton that has come into his possession.

The US military turn up and steal the skeleton from him, but by the time they transport it back to their base it has disappeared into thin air.

Jonathan’s reputation as a mystery-solving genius leads to him being forced to help the army figure out what the hell has gone on.

We analyse the story, dig up some location information and track down some frankly bewildering connections to details in the show.

There’s then a chance to hear what else was going on in the world on the day the episode aired, and we find out about what’s been pissing off aficionados in the world of line dancing.

The Omega Man was the third episode of series three of Jonathan Creek, airing on 11th December 1999.

Written by David Renwick and directed by Keith Washington, guest stars included John Shrapnel, Jane Booker, Michael Brandon, Charlie Brooks and Calvin Williams.
