17. The Three Gamblers

After drug baron Frank Geiger has several bullets pumped into his brain and is dumped in a locked basement, that really ought to have been that.

However, when the police end up finding him, his corpse has somehow managed to climb a set of stairs.

Meanwhile, Adam Klaus is up for a prestigious award, but takes umbrage when he’s beaten to it by drag act Deborah Cadabera.

And are you ready for a dangerous search-and-seizure operation in Iraq that goes awry?

The Three Gamblers was the sixth and final episode of series three of Jonathan Creek, airing on 2nd January 2000. It was the last occasion on which we saw Maddie Magellan.

Written by David Renwick and directed by Richard Holthouse, guest stars included Harry Peacock, Nina Sosanya, John Bennett, Clifford Barry and Hattie Hayridge.
