The end of an era. This extraordinary story introduces Holmes’s two greatest nemeses - criminal mastermind Moriarity, and his own creator. Doyle was eager to move on from Holmes - but in pitting his detective against a surprise supervillain and bringing him to a sudden end, he created the perfect environment for Holmes to live forever.

In this episode, Marisa & Sarah discuss the highs and lows in the plot of this dramatic tale, the deeply touching connection between Holmes and Watson, and Doyle’s feelings towards his creation and the unprecendented response from fans of his stories.

We’re saving a deep dive into adaptations of Moriarity for a special case file, coming up next!
