First transmitted on 16 January 2009, this story is based on a reference from Doyle's short story "The Priory School": "'I am retained in this case of the Ferrers Documents.'" What could possibly link a slum landlord, a vanishing prostitute, and a break-in at 221B Baker Street? In a case with no leads, the most important clue is that there are no clues at all.
I’ve suddenly become a bit of a Sherlock Holmes’s fan thanks to some of the brilliant BBC radio dramas that I’ve discovered uploaded on RUclips. Up until listening to this episode I’d been really enjoying them - but this episode has to be the best yet! Having said that I have to boast that I started to suspect the wunderkind Dawkins halfway through. The ingenious way Holmes lured Dawkins into showing his hand by saying he’d obtained written proof but was actually blank sheets of paper was a brilliant twist to end the episode. Thank you to the person who took the time to upload and share these brilliant episodes with us. Thorvald, 25. Born in Norway but currently living in the U.K. (FYI… Thorvald is pronounced Tourval) 😄
Great series!!! I listen to canon and further adventures here and Imagination Theater out of Seattle. Between them there are over a hundred stories in full cast dramas. Well done.
Nobody would probably believe me but from the moment I picked up on Constable Dawkins enthusiasm in this case, I suspected him in some capacity concerning the murders! He was too keen for his own good!
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT BUT SO GLAD I DIDN'T READ BEFORE LISTENING. MANY OF US DO, IN PLAYS WE ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH TO SEE IF OTHERS THINK IT'S WORTH LISTENING TO ETC. Ik this series to be a fav so I did not read ahead of time. In future if you plan to discuss details pls preface comment with a WARNING SPOILER ALERT. Thanks!
@@JonFrumTheFirst - you obviously haven't read the original sherlock holmes stories by Conan Doyle. that's exactly the sort of comment that holmes would make.
Wonderful - I can imagine I am actually back in a less techno age. Brilliant actors, brilliant script. Thank you!

A hidden compartment in a desk! Never before heard of in a detective story!
Great entertainment. Thank you.

Me too!!
Michael Williams was a much better Watson.
About the daughter…”unusually strong willed,for a woman.”
Who would say that line these days?
There was no shortage of strong willed women in those days. I thought that line was a mistake.

@@frankah Annie Harrison in The Naval Treaty: her cooperation was the key to Homes' recovering the document for her fiancée Percy Phelps.

I absolutely love Sherlock Holmes, but this portrayal comes off a much too arrogant and pompous.
