Sheridan Smith back in Jonathan Creek?

Actor and comedian Alan Davies is hoping for a new series of the crime drama Jonathan Creek and would love Sheridan Smith to sign up as his sidekick.

He told ITV's Loose Women there would be hopefully more episodes of the hit show saying  "Hopefully Sheridan Smith will be on board. We did two with Sheridan four or five years ago. I love Sheridan but she's so in demand now so we are going to find a gap in her diary."

Former co-stars have been Caroline Quentin and Julia Sawalha before Sheridan signed up to play Joey Ross in two specials in 2009.
