[[folder: JonathanCreek]]
!!!'''Jonathan Creek'''
->'''Played By:''' Creator/AlanDavies
* DeadpanSnarker: Manages to be the undisputed king of this, even in a show in which half the characters are grandmasters themselves.
* EurekaMoment: Frequently gets them off of seemingly unrelated objects or statements. Tends to go completely silent and stare into the distance with a look of realisation on his face.
** He is, in fact, so well-known for them that at one point a conspirator in one of the mysteries he's investigating intentionally [[DistractedByTheSexy plants herself in his lap]] to avert one.
* GoodWithNumbers: Can tell a supermarket checkout is faulty by doing the arithmetic in his head.
* InsufferableGenius: He hasn't had a single assistant who he hasn't royally pissed off at least once.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Lives on his own in a windmill in a small town well outside of London.
* MagicianDetective: Although not technically a magician himself, he's certainly capable of performing many of the less-involved tricks that he designs, and he's certainly a good detective.
* RegularCaller: If there is a mystery, fate will conspire to have Jonathan investigate and solve it. Even if he doesn't want to. Even if he tries to get away. Even if he's retired.
** ResignedToTheCall: Even after he attempts retirement from stage magic and mystery-solving, he ''still'' manages to get roped into solving murders. Eventually he just rolls with it.
* StageMagic: Designs illusions for a living, which is where he gets an appreciation for the lengths people will go to to deceive their audience.
