Jonathan Creek is a British mystery television series that was first released in the UK by the BBC in 1997. The show was created by David Renwick, who also created the British sitcom "One Foot in the Grave," and has proven to be quite popular, with five seasons in total.

In season 2 episode 1, titled "Danse Macabre," Jonathan Creek is hired by a young woman who is convinced that she is being haunted by the ghost of her father. The woman has recently inherited a large estate from her father, a wealthy industrialist, and has moved into the house with her new husband.

The woman's father was a collector of antique automata – mechanical dolls that can move and perform a range of actions. The collection is housed in a room in the basement of the estate, but since the woman has moved in, she has been hearing strange noises coming from the room, and has seen the dolls moving on their own.

Jonathan is initially skeptical of the woman's claims, but as he investigates the odd occurrences, he starts to uncover a series of interconnected mysteries. He soon finds himself questioning the events leading up to the woman's father's death and the true identities of the people around her.

As Jonathan delves further into the case, he discovers that the collection of automata has a dark history, and that the strange occurrences in the house may be linked to a series of bizarre and gruesome events from the past.

With the help of his friend and fellow detective, Maddy Magellan, Jonathan must race against time to uncover the truth before the woman is consumed by the ghostly presence in her home.

Overall, "Danse Macabre" is a gripping and suspenseful episode that highlights the show's strengths as a cerebral mystery series. The plot is complex and layered, and the twists and turns keep the audience engaged from start to finish. The performances by the cast are top-notch, and the Gothic atmosphere of the setting adds to the overall intensity of the episode. It is a great example of what makes Jonathan Creek such an entertaining and compelling show.
