Final Revelation Of Sherlock Holmes, The

Synopsis:
1930 and all is not well at 221b Baker Street. Holmes' last triumph is long behind him and, with no challenge to engage his still keen intellect, his fondness of drugs has taken its toll. Watson has resorted to selling stories of old cases to make ends meet as he tries to find a distraction for his friend's boundless energy. Could one last case repair their fortunes? Could the world's greatest detective solve ?the perfect crime'? A play about an ageing friendship and one last moment of glory, Tim Norton's interpretation sees Arthur Conan Doyle's much loved characters tackle their final case.

Grave Situation, A

Synopsis:
It is 1940 and young Chippy is trying to get rid of a body that won't lie down. 'It is not,' as he and his mates keep explaining to everyone who catches them at it, 'what you think.' His Huddersfield family are the local undertakers and to help the war effort they are recycling coffins: after a few days in the earth and before their shiny handles can get tarnished they are dug up, the bodies returned to their graves without them, and they are ready to use again. But this kind of 'Digging for Victory' has to end when they are all called up.
