Jason Tippet in Jonathan Creek, Mother Redcap

I enjoy the Jonathan Creek series, so it was an added bonus having Marcus in an episode, but it was a surprise to find him, yet again, stark naked! Playing a naturist (nudist) in this episode, Marcus as Jason invites Maddy for coffee and shocks her when he opens the door in the nude. The little get-together with the all-naked house mates and Maddy is funny, with strategically placed teacups and pots to block our view and preserve their modesty. Great fun to watch, just a shame we didn't see more of Marcus (no not like that!)
