Crime-fighting magician Jonathan Creek will make a one-off return to the BBC later this year, the corporation has confirmed.
Alan Davies will reprise his role as the mystery-solving illusionist while Love Soup star Sheridan Smith is set for a guest starring role.
The one-off episode, set for broadcast later this year, will see Creek tasked with solving the conundrum of 70 years of destruction wreaked by a 'Nightmare Room' in a shady Gothic house.
After Joey Ross' (Smith) friend becomes the latest victim, she joins forces with Creek to uncover the secrets of the enigmatic room.
"For the last five years whenever I've passed a locked room I've thought there might be a mystery lurking behind it, so I'm very happy to return to Jonathan Creek and to have something to actually solve," said Davies.
"I'm also chuffed that Sheridan Smith is joining us, she's going to be great."
And writer David Renwick, who has penned the one-off special, said he has his "fingers crossed" for a successful return.
"After a five-year break I think we're all looking forward to getting Creek back on the screen and the BBC appear to be quite excited," he added.
