I think, providing the mysteries keep coming, this programme can continue for maybe one or two series more. The guest stars were great in their roles, Annette Crosbie was particularly good in the House of Monkeys episode and it was a joy to see Bill Bailey pop up in the later series. I did not think any of the mysteries were at all daft, just very very clever and the chemistry between Alan and Caroline was fantastic.

When Julia Sawahla replaced Caroline, I was dubious at first but she too was great in her role, despite not being the ultimate replacement for Caroline.

Alan Davies and Caroline Quentin were absolutely fantastic in their parts, and I thought perfect for their roles. I was constantly baffled and thought it was very clever the way Jonathan worked out some of the clues. Its a completely different take on the usual crime solving programme and the solutions to puzzles are absolutely amazing. I was hooked on this programme when it first came out and now I have it on DVD, I can see just how fantastic this series is.
