My name is Dr. John Watson, once of the British Army Northumberland Fusilier Regiment, now a true crime podcaster based in Central London. I don't have much experience in criminology, so this is mostly a record of how I met possibly the most brilliant and bizarre person I have ever (and will ever) know. Join me as I document the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.This podcast is property of Goalhanger Podcasts.Copyright 2023.SHERLOCK AND CO.Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Today at 4:00 AM

THE NIGHT THAT NEVER WAS - I managed to get Vicky to tell her tale. It felt like a tale, full of demons and dread. But she had the evidence to prove that it was all true. With her broken memory and a few clues - I tried my best to do what I could. Yeah, warning - this episode contains very little Sherlock Holmes.

NIGHTMARE ON BAKER STREET - It's fair to say it had been a challenging few months for a certain Dr. John Watson of 221b Baker Street (that's me). Unfortunately may attempt to soften my trauma with very British behaviour of ignoring it entirely eventually allowed the trauma to manifest itself into nightmares. Never been a nightmare guy. Now I'm a nightmare guy. Not a huge fan. But it does at least mean I get to catch up with Sherlock Holmes during his preferred hours.

IT'S ALL GREEK TO ME - The Moon King's codes, riddles and treasures had laid buried and undisturbed for so long... For over a thousand years it remained so, all that time had passed.. time had seemed to abundant... yet now, thanks to Harold Latimer's hunt.. there was so little of it left. For Sophy. For us. For the horde of treasure.

GREECE IS THE WORD - I was in a state of repair. Of rest. Of relaxation. Or at least - that's what I had attempted. The downtime was causing a certain flatmate of mine to itch. To fidget. To be so bored and frustrated that he took me to the very funeral of the man I killed.... I went along, sure. But it wasn't my idea.

Back into the depths of the City.

Now I was carefully aiding the Birmingham Police to cut down the corpse of Harry Pinner. Sherlock had finally put together what it all meant. The Greatest Bank Robbery Of All Time.

I get myself a real date with a real girl and SOMEHOW it ends up being about him. And kind of about her. And kind of about an enormous financial conspiracy.

BAD BOOKS - The Great Detective Huckton Bruce was a frustrating character for two reasons, the first being; he's not real. The second being; because of him I was now stuck, after hours, in an antique bookshop that smelled like my Nan's flat. The locked-room melodrama continued into the night as Sherlock sent his Irregulars to go and do the fun stuff.

DOUBLE BOOKED - Hopkins had alerted us to an intriguing murder involving a man, a dog and a strangulation. I had been anxious about the lack of content coming our way in a sluggish January so this was just what the Doctor (me) ordered. My two stupid colleagues had other ideas. Apparently antique bookshops and family melodramas are more interesting. Whatever.

Everything had fallen into place and the Christmas dinner was about to taste all the sweeter for it. Cheers to justice. Cheers to life. And to love. Peace on earth to all mankind!
