Or Jonathan Creep as Mrs C describes him. All a bit too convoluted. I used to think it was so much better when Caroline Quentin was there to add a bit of weight to proceedings.

And, in the wonderful "great minds" type of coincidence:

That reminds me, I can't stand Alan Davies any more than I can Caroline Quentin (I think they must have been well suited to one another). Do I imagine it, or did he start out as Alun Davies?

Last nights plot was bizarre, and with more holes than the roads of Devon, even more than an average Creek adventure.

When I look at that picture of Saint Quentin alongside the shaggy lisper, I can't help being reminded of our own Saint Mary.

Oh Is that what Mary looks like?

It appears that Neil Diamond wrote "Sweet Caroline" after seeing her in an amateur dramatic production of "Hamlet" in Tring. He was researching ideas for songs for the second season of "The Monkees" and was looking for inspiration for a British suburban episode.

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin
But then I know it's growin strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Whod have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin hands
Reachin out
Touchin me
Touchin you

Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin warm
Reachin out
Touchin me
Touchin you

Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
I believed they never could
Sweet caroline

I’m long past hungry
I need a bed
I got some real wild things
Runnin’ through my head
Oh Rosie, don’t forget me now

I’ve been to Tulsa
And New Mexico
Still got Tucson and
Colorado left to go
Oh Rosie don’t forget me now

Always wondered why Tulsa crops up so often in songs ...

Now there was I about to take enormous umbrage at Des' outrageous suggestion that I bear any resemblance to Cuentin, when I realised that I currently look fat, old and have no discernible sense of humour, so maybe the comparison stands. And Stan, we only met briefly, but I'm flattered that the mere mention of my name affects you so.

I recorded Creek last night for the first time ever. Never seen an episode before and so I was looking forward to playing it tomorrow night. Now I know the plot, it's not worth the bother.

Thanks all!

I watched the first three minutes, then had a compulsive need to read up about the repeal, effective from 6 April 2010, of the tax concessions in force for the past fifteen years on certain types of income derived from the ownership of an asset. I wasn't impressed.

This program would be brilliant if they casted Julia Sawalha as the astute intelligent one and Sheriden Smith as the ditsy blonde, who in their right freaking mind would do this the other way around? I still like Smith in this though, cool as buttons.
