For my money Jonathan Creek was at its peak in these early years, and The Eyes of Tiresias is a fine example, it's intriguing, funny, baffling, beautifully imaginative and all in all just great viewing. The plot is exceptional, how on Earth could an old Lady foresee three deaths, of course it's up to Jonathan to get to the bottom of things, literally.
The Pride and Prejudice side story is a nice touch, but of course it's the baffling story of the death of Monsieur Masson that is most interesting, it's so cleverly written, you'd never guess the outcome. Davies underplays Creek to perfection once again, some of the scenes are just great, including the excellent conclusion, but it's Maddy that steals the show, her mixup with the two hunky guys was very funny, but the part where she's thrown down the builder's chute is hilarious.
It's a wonderful mix of myths, legends and reality, with some lovely performances, Rebecca Front, Terrence Hardiman and Diana Weston all great, the late Margery Mason was delightful as Aunt Audrey.
Great episode, 9/10
