1.01 The Last Act
It is 1916 and Sherlock Holmes has returned to his rooms in Baker Street after attending
the funeral of his long time associate, Dr John H. Watson. Holmes reflects on the old days
and comes to realise that not only was there so much that he had shared with Watson in his
lifetime but also there was so much that he had not revealed to him: things he had kept
hidden, including his deep affection for his friend. Imagining that Watson is present,
Holmes addresses this failing and touches on aspects of past cases and the various
characters he encountered during his investigations, including .The Woman. Irene Adler and
of course Professor Moriarty. Holmes delves deeper into the darker aspects of his own
history, revealing at last a shocking secret. Realising now how lonely and isolated he is
without his old comrade, adrift in a new modern and war-ravaged age, he comes to wonder
whether, like Watson, he too has come to the end of his time.
1.02 The Death And Life
A fascinating drama in which Sherlock Holmes steps off the page to save his life and in
doing so faces a heart-stopping revelation about his own existence.Haunted by the tag of
.the Sherlock Holmes man. and tired of his catchpenny detective creation, author Arthur
Conan Doyle employs the services of Professor Moriarty to bring an end to the career of
the Great Detective. Aware that some dark force is bent on his destruction, Holmes rises
to the challenge and not only encounters his nemesis Moriarty but also learns the terrible
truth about his very being. While Doyle appears to achieve his end when Holmes supposedly
falls into the terrible abyss of the Reichenbach Falls, he has not reckoned on his
fictional character.s immortality. In a remarkable reversal of fortune, the detective
appears to triumph. This unusual, challenging and often highly amusing drama not only
presents a fresh and intriguing insight into the Sherlock Holmes saga but also explores
the nature of the strange and unnerving relationship between creator and creation.
