Plot hole: SPOILER ALERT Louise Bergman murders her father Marco, who is blind, by making a tape of the sound effects of a blazing fire along with her voice urging him to jump to safety out of his upper floor window. A man who has been blind for two years would have learned to rely on his other senses, and would immediately suspect something was wrong - he would feel no heat from the fire nor smell smoke.

Starring: Alan Davies, Caroline Quentin, Stuart Milligan
Plot hole: Why on earth would a sleazeball like Adam Klaus be worried about news of a one-night stand being revealed? He'd welcome the publicity, if anything. Anyone threatening to go to the papers with news of a bit of rumpy-pumpy with him would be wasting their time.
Madeline Magellan: Enough with the pedanticism and let us eat.
Jonathan Creek: The word is pedantry.
Question: What exactly did Jonathan and Maddie give to the tramp in exchange for information?
Answer: It was actually mouthwash.
