"Jonathan Creek will return in a one-off 90-minute special for Easter 2013, it has been announced. The hit BBC One detective series&amp;#039;s new episode will be titled &amp;#039;The Clue of the Savant&amp;#039;s Thumb&amp;#039;.  Alan Davies returns in the title role and Sheridan Smith is also back as fellow investigator and sidekick Joey Ross. It is written by the show&amp;#039;s creator David Renwick. &amp;quot;The new story has more than the usual amount of twists and surprises, and I&amp;#039;m very much looking forward to sleuthing again,&amp;quot; said Davies.  &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t wait to join Sheridan Smith on set again; we&amp;#039;re very lucky to have her. It&amp;#039;s nearly 17 years since I first auditioned for the part; the duffle coat is always on standby, even if the periods of duffle-hibernation are quite long these days.&amp;quot;  Pete Thornton, creative head of BBC in-house comedy, added: &amp;quot;A new Creek script from David is always a joy, and this one is especially brilliant. With the dream team of Alan Davies and Sheridan Smith back on board, we&amp;#039;re looking forward to delivering a really special Easter treat for BBC One audiences next year.&amp;quot; Filming starts on the special later this month. The last episode of Jonathan Creek was 2010 Easter special &amp;#039;The Judas Tree&amp;#039;. A full series of the show hasn&amp;#039;t aired since 2004. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
