Last Jonathan Creek for Sheridan Smith?

As already mentioned, the quirky magician-tricks-fixer-cum-detective Jonathan Creek is returning to the BBC for a one-off 90 minute special over the Easter weekend. Alan Davies returns in the title role for Jonathan Creek: The Clue Of The Savant's Thumb and is again assisted by Sheridan Smith as fellow investigator Joey Ross.

It will be televised on Easter Monday 1st April on BBC1 from 8:30-10:00 pm.

I love Sheridan in this role but sadly this might be the last time she plays it as the  newly commissioned mini series which is due to be filmed in the autumn clashes with her appearing as Titania to David Walliams' Bottom in a A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Noel Coward Theatre in London's West End so the dates might not work.

Sheridan is one busy lady at the moment as she is about to start filming a BBC1 drama and is then going to Turkey to star in the film called Belly Dancing for Beginners.
