A house vanishes into the ether. A man dies without cause on his own front lawn. A woman falls to her death but later wanders into a field. All inexplicable… right?

Joey and Jonathan have a list of weird stuff as long your arm to solve in this Easter special.

While that’s all happening, Adam Klaus repeatedly falls victim to internet mischief makers.

Crummy poet Willam Topaz McGonagall blesses us with his presence again, unwind with some Creek-themed ASMR, and our robot-voiced bud is back with more erotic filth.

The Judas Tree aired on the 4th of April 2010. Sheridan Smith returned as Joey Ross and we encountered Adam Klaus for the final time.

When a former glamour model is burned alive (to death) after her cigarette falls into a lawnmower’s fuel tank, the last thing you’d expect is for her to be wandering down a country lane just a few hours later.

Nevertheless, a completely reliable witness says that this is exactly what happened. How bizarre.

Meanwhile, Maddie books Jonathan in to do a Q&A with the Jonathan Creek Fan Club, much to the man’s umbrage.

And did you believe the only way to grow stuff is to plant it in soil? Think again, idiots!

We analyse the episode, locate some location information and track down some utterly bizarre factual real-world connections to details in the show.

Elderly Audrey has a vivid dream of a Frenchman being shot dead, and it spookily becomes true the following day.

As does her next dream about another death… what’s going on?

Meanwhile, Maddie opens the door to a potential ménage à trois with two hunky studs after mistakenly copping off with both within minutes of one another.

Down-on-their-luck Alice and Lenny Spearfish get rich after digging up treasure in their garden. Whilst this provides them with a lovely new house, Lenny goes off the rails as Alice gets more and more despondent.

After being drugged following a big-spending night in the casino, Lenny manages to survive being shot twice by a prostitute-murdering maniac… but how?

As he becomes convinced that he’s now immortal and his financial investments start to really pay off, Alice gets Maddie and Jonathan involved to find out what’s really going on.

Does selling your soul to Lucifer really make you invincible? (Spoiler alert: it does not).
