The Mazarin Stone - Part Two 38:35

3d ago38:35

38:35

THE SOURCE OF THE UNIVERSE - why exactly I bother attempting to tamper down the relentless curiosity of my companion is beyond me. When Sherlock gets a whiff of what he wants, there's generally no stopping him. Not even a close friend's wedding. This appetite for solving problems took us to the collection room of the best man himself; Greg Cantleme…

THE DETECTIVE'S DOPPELGANGER - I never really wanted to head back to Madame Tussauds following the events of The Norwood Builder... but Mariana's curiosity dragged me back in there. What we found was our waxwork clones, one Sherlock and one John Watson. Part 1 of 3 This episode contains swearing, simulation of violence, heavy drinking, some dread. …

Abbey Grange - Part Three 35:11

17d ago35:11

35:11

THE KILLER INSIDE - I often forget how gung-ho Sherlock could be when I first met him. No one was off limits for interrogation and analysis. Not even an elderly patient at a care home. His methods weren't cruel, they were simply necessary to achieve what he saw as the ultimate moral prize - the solving of crime. It left a gaping middle ground where…

Abbey Grange - Part Two 44:41

44:41

THE MONSTER OF GRAVESEND - The barbarity of the case had thrown me back to my army days. Urgent, driven, focused on protecting life. I discarded my responsibilities as a true crime podcaster and did everything in my power to care for Eustace. Upon returning to Abbey Grange care home I met with the residents in every possible stage of old age. We ha…

Abbey Grange - Part One 30:59

30:59

BACK TO THE FUTURE - It was a blistering summer's day. Sherlock and I had probably over-indulged at The Volunteer and in our giddy stupor we arranged a 'tourist day' in London while Mariana visited her family. Our fun stretched beyond the boundaries of the capital, to Gravesend in Kent... Where we bumped into an old friend. Part 1 of 3 This episode…

The Priory School - Part Three 38:52

38:52

WHAT LIES BENEATH - the hunt for Stefan Heidegger had reached its conclusion. It was time to involve the police and close the case that we came here to solve... All we had to do was find the body; and for that we needed to peer into the gloom of Mardale. Part 3 of 3 This episode contains swearing, horror, sexual references, drug references, drug ab…

HUNTING THE CHILDCATCHER - Stefan Heidegger had clearly convinced Saltire to leave his dorm in the middle of the night. He had snatched him off into the darkness of the Lake District. We were a day behind but we were catching up fast. Part 2 of 3 This episode contains swearing, horror, sexual references, drug references, drug abuse, distress, refer…

INTO THE DARKNESS - we had been struggling financially for a few weeks and now we had to pay some bills. Mariana and I needed Sherlock's help to raise funds via some wealthy client cases... and boy did he find us a case. We headed to the Lake District, to Moorhill. To look for the child of a billionaire. Part 1 of 3 This episode contains swearing, …

The Blanched Soldier - Part Two 50:53

2M ago50:53

50:53

THE GHOST IN THE MANOR - We promptly managed to summon the story from our latest client 'Doddy'. It was that of an old army friend, Freddie Emsworth. So ghastly and eerie was his tale that we headed immediately to Bedfordshire and to Tuxbury Park; Home of the Emsworths... for a spot of Ghosthunting. Part 2 of 2 This episode contains swearing, horro…

THE FACE AT THE WINDOW - Doctor John Watson has temporarily relinquished his podcasting duties and I have stepped in somewhat reluctantly. This particular episode provides you with not one adventure, but two. Or rather; one and a half. We met 'Doddy' rather late in my role as podcast host, but his story was so enchanting and his problem so tempting…

A Scandal in Bohemia - Part Five 28:19

2M ago28:19

28:19

THE GREAT GAME - we had everything set for the seizing of that drive, the chastening of Irene Adler and - most importantly - a victory for Sherlock Holmes against his latest opponent. The fire would reveal all, we would be able to see deep into her person, into her desires and schemes and that would lead us to the treasure. The curtain was ready to…

THE BOY WHO WOULD BE KING - Irene, Sherlock and I finally had our chance to drop the disguises and speak, albeit in this holy place. It was clear she planned something, quite what destructive scale would unfold escaped even my imagination. We needed a plan and it was devised, inadvertently by me, during our kitchen fire. Would it be bold enough to …

A Scandal in Bohemia - Part Three 31:22

31:22

CUT TO THE CHASE - The recklessness and boldness of Sherlock's plan and commitment to his 'disguise' had Adler in our grasp. It would seem however that the penny dropped for both her and Sherlock that this was no accidental meeting. This was a game between two great minds. Part 3 of 5 This episode contains swearing. Listener discretion is advised. …

THE BLIND PRINCE - William Ormstein was an intimidating man, both in frame, in personality but also in power. A West End mogul who seemed to have it all... but it would seem.. when we heard his tale - he could have had a lot more. The game really was afoot so Sherlock and I donned disguises, whole new characters to lure in the elusive Miss Adler. P…

A Scandal in Bohemia - Part One 34:06

BY ROYAL APPOINTMENT - Our previous case had led us to an Opera singer by the name of Irene Adler. There seemed to be this double life at play. An esteemed stage performer with a warm social presence, versus that cool knife-wielder in Milverton's bedroom. It was time to see who was the real Irene Adler.

THE SLITHERING SERPENT - Penny returned to us and it wasn't the apology that we were grateful for. It was the lead. A lead to the man who harvests the world's secrets. Quite how we could stomach even just a few minutes with this enormous wanker is still slightly beyond my comprehension. Part 1 of 3 This episode contains swearing, sexual references,…

PIRATES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN - Things got uncomfortable. For the first time in a long time. Sherlock was frustrated with my investigating. I was frustrated with his frustration. Mariana was frustrated with everything. Oh there was the climax of the case as well as we found ourselves in Alexandria. Part 3 of 3 This episode contains swearing, confron…

THE LADY DOTH VANISH - we had a brief break from a high profile case and were thrown right into another.

MOUSETRAP - We now found ourselves face-to-face with our armed gunman. It was make or break time, could we steal Hector away from this moment of madness. Or would he and the hostages be lost forever. Humming in the back of our minds this whole time was the simple question that if Hector didn't kill Jonas, then where the hell is that Norwood builder…

TRIAL BY GUNFIRE - Sherlock and I had a foothold on the case and its discrepancies but unfortunately just about everyone in the UK wanted Hector DEAD. The Met Commissioner at times even seemed like one of those voices. Inside the chaos of this prestigious waxwork museum however; Hector only wanted to speak to one man... Sherlock Holmes.

SIEGE AT THE MUSEUM - Everything seemed to be within our control at one moment and then in this sudden altercation with Hector things began to spiral wildly out of control. Just how far this thing would go still baffles me. Sherlock and I decided to go over the case with the help of Hector's wife Shireen. Part 2 of 4 This episode contains swearing,…

THE TIGER OF DAMASCUS - Our intruder that found his way back to the crime scene dressed as an officer was still at large. But it was our turn now to take to the skies, and hopefully not be shot at for sport. We just had to track down Sherlock first and we'd be on our way. But he was busy... doing something.. weird. Apologies for the technical error…

THEY FELL FROM THE SKY - we were dumbfounded, staggered, distraught. How was this possible? That these men would find themselves scattered in pieces over a Surrey crop field. I could see even in the great Detective's eyes that he was struggling. And I mean Sherlock there, not bloody Baynes. Episode description: Part 2 of 3 This episode contains gor…

THE VANISHING HOST - To look at John Scott Eccles was to look upon your average looking accountant. Sorry accountants. Yet so there was so much more to this man than that first appearance.

THE SOUL OF THE MOUNTAIN - It was fairly typical of my companion to reach a conclusion so easily and swiftly while for us it remained a blur on the horizon.

THE ANDALUCIA - we began with Captain Arthur Morstan. We would end in the Captain's Cabin of The Andalucia. Quite how we got here, quite how this all ended, is still unsettled and unformed in my mind and my heart. We thought we had broken The Sign of Four. We thought we had silenced them in capturing Jonathan Small. We were wrong. I'm sorry. Part 1…
