Sherlock & Co.

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 had to navigate broken, tired and even fanciful mind...

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 contains swearing,  Listener discretion is advise...

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 abuse, distress, references to violence, references...

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, references to violence, references to child abuse. List...

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, horror, sexual references, drug references, drug a...

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, horror, sexual references, drug references, drug abuse,...

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 we had little choice but to chase it down to its...

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 fall on this final act of this particular Opera. ...

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 work? Boldness had rewarded us thus far I suppose....

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. For merchandise and transcripts go to: www.sherl...

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. Part 2 of 5 This episode contains swearing, referen...

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. Part 1 of 5PREVIOUS ADVENTURE INFO: Charles Augustus Milverton was a master in blackmail and ha...

THE WOMAN - Things had gotten out of control and we had remained firmly in the wardrobe as we watched Milverton and his houseguest conduct their business. Part 3 of 3This episode contains  swearing, sexual references, references to coercive behaviour, dark sexual content, violence. Listener discretion is advised. For merchandise and transcripts go to: www.sherlockandco.co.ukFor ad-free, early acce...

THIEVES IN THE NIGHT - Milverton had to be stopped and Sherlock had just the plan. Unfortunately that plan involved me. And a woman called Agatha. You'll see what I mean.  Part 2 of 3 This episode contains swearing, sexual references, references to coercive behaviour, dark sexual content, violence. Listener discretion is advised. For merchandise and transcripts go to: www.sherlockandco.co.uk For a...

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, references to coercive behaviour, violence. Liste...

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, confrontation between friends, references to abduction an...

PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS - Sherlock had chosen to remain in London to investigate the backstory of Penny Montgomery. The last movements of Penny were being tracked by Mariana and myself. We headed out to Lausanne in Switzerland; where she first headed to after leaving the UK.. Part 2 of 3 This episode contains swearing, references to abduction and coercive behaviour, violence. Listener discretion i...

THE LADY DOTH VANISH - we had a brief break from a high profile case and were thrown right into another. An icon of UK television was reported missing, having last been seen on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. This was a national shock and naturally; it was a job for Sherlock and Co Ltd. Part 1 of 3 This episode contains reference to animal abuse, violence, gore, swearing, references to abducti...

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? Part 4 of 4 This episode contains swearing, depi...

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. Part 3 of 4 This episode contains swearing, depictions of vio...

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, misogyny, depictions of violence and gun usage. L...

THE KILLER IN THE KITCHEN - Hector McFarlane bounded through our door somewhat unexpectedly. He was agitated, unnerved and pulsing with fury. He wanted our help and we DID NOT want to give it... at first. Episode description:  Part 1 of 4 This episode contains swearing, depictions of violence and references to animal abuse. Listener discretion is advised. For merchandise and transcripts go to: www...

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 at the end of the episode. A stubborn glitch pro...

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 gore, depictions of death and swearing. Listener dis...

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. That first appearance on our doorstep, flustered, bewildered and hellbent on telling us a fascinating story of international subterfuge, a global criminal web and of course how he woke up in Wisteria Lodge all a...
