Sherlock & Co.

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.

The Red Circle - Part Four

-
The Resident Patient - Part Three

-
The Sign of Four - Part One
SURAKULA - The show has been out for exactly one year and.. I have to say, this case is like no other. The scale of this adventure, where it would lead us, and who would be dragged into it would leave a lasting impact…
-
The Sign of Four - Part Two
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY - Regrettably this adventure had immediately thrown up a problem. Mary Morstan. A girl that stood me up a year ago was somehow part of this whole mystery. Why was she attached to this…

LONDON CALLING - we were home. The trip to India had raised more questions than it had answered. Sherlock wanted to return to the beginning, to uncover things that may have been buried beneath the surface. I just…
-
The Sign of Four - Part Seven
AURORA - a word which would feel like it had a million different meanings. Tonga was trying to communicate to us. It was down to Sherlock and the co-investigation between Interpol and Scotland Yard to decipher exactly…
-
The Sign of Four - Part Eight
NOT TO BE SNIFFED AT - our new companion Toby was onto something. The search was opening up, taking us out of Hounslow and into neighbouring Twickenham and Strawberry Hill... But in order to track down the Four we had…

-
The Sign of Four - Part Ten
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…
-
The Three Gables - Part One
AN UNWANTED GUEST - John was recovering from the events of our previous adventure... Sherlock and I were trying to do the same. Working most cases remotely. Helping clients with problems over the phone or on zoom. We…
-
The Three Gables - Part Two

-
The Three Gables - Part Three

-
The Veiled Lodger - Part Two

-
Black Peter - Part One

-
Wisteria Lodge - Part One
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…
-
Wisteria Lodge - Part Two
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…
-
Wisteria Lodge - Part Three
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…
-
The Norwood Builder - Part One
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…
-
The Norwood Builder - Part Two
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…
-
The Norwood Builder - Part Three
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.…
-
The Norwood Builder - Part Four
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…
-
The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax - Part One

-
Charles Augustus Milverton - Part One
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…
-
Charles Augustus Milverton - Part Two
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,…
-
Charles Augustus Milverton - Part Three

-
A Scandal in Bohemia - Part One
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…
-
A Scandal in Bohemia - Part Two
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 Scandal in Bohemia - Part Three
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…
-
A Scandal in Bohemia - Part Four
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…
-
A Scandal in Bohemia - Part Five
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…
-
The Blanched Soldier - Part One
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…
-
The Blanched Soldier - Part Two
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…
-
The Priory School - Part One
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…
-
The Priory School - Part Two
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…
-
The Priory School - Part Three
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…
-
Abbey Grange - Part One
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…
-
Abbey Grange - Part Two
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…
-
Abbey Grange - Part Three
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…
-
The Mazarin Stone - Part One
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…
-
The Mazarin Stone - Part Two
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…
