Sherlock & Co.

Goalhanger
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. This podcast is property of Goalhanger Podcasts. Copyright 2023. SHERLOCK AND CO. Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The Missing Three-Quarter - Part One

THE GAME IS AFOOTBALL - a case so perfect for me, so designed for John H Watson went and fell directly into my lap. It was as if I had designed it myself. A top-flight Brazilian football player had gone missing and I was ready and raring to go. My Detective friend however? Not so much...

The Mazarin Stone - Part Three

ROMANCING THE STONE - The wedding day was here. And Sherlock was gone. And I was anxious. And Mariana was stressed. And The Mazarin Stone was still missing. And yeah that's about it, have a listen. Part 3 of 3 This episode contains swearing, references to violence, references to elderly abuse, reference to dementia and psychological trauma and discomfort. Listener discretion is advised.

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 even a close friend's wedding. This appetite for solving problems took us to the collection room of the best man himself; Greg Cantlemere.

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 clones, one Sherlock and one John Watson. Part 1 of 3 This episode contains swearing, simulation of violence, heavy drinking, some dread. Listener discretion is advised.

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 were simply necessary to achieve what he saw as the ultimate moral prize - the solving of crime. It left a gaping middle ground where morality, meaning, consideration and sensitivity needed to be kept in order... And that is where your friendly neighbourhood podcaster comes into pla...

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 power to care for Eustace. Upon returning to Abbey Grange care home I met with the residents in every possible stage of old age. We had to navigate broken, tired and even fanciful minds in order to build our case in the hunt for this monster. Part 2 of 3 This episode contains swearin...

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 stretched beyond the boundaries of the capital, to Gravesend in Kent... Where we bumped into an old friend. Part 1 of 3 This episode contains swearing, Listener discretion is advised.

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 needed to peer into the gloom of Mardale. Part 3 of 3 This episode contains swearing, horror, sexual references, drug references, drug abuse, distress, references to violence, references to child abduction. Listener discretion is advised.

We were a day behind but we were catching up fast.

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 case. We headed to the Lake District, to Moorhill. To look for the child of a billionaire. Part 1 of 3 This episode contains swearing, horror, sexual references, drug references, drug abuse, distress, references to violence.

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 Bedfordshire and to Tuxbury Park; Home of the Emsworths... for a spot of Ghosthunting.

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 rather; one and a half. We met 'Doddy' rather late in my role as podcast host, but his story was so enchanting and his problem so tempting we had little choice but to chase it down to its resolution. It's Sherlock by the way, hello. Part 1 of 2 This episode contains swearing, sexual refe...

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 would be able to see deep into her person, into her desires and schemes and that would lead us to the treasure. The curtain was ready to fall on this final act of this particular Opera. Part 5 of 5 This episode contains swearing. Listener discretion is advised. For merchandise and tran...

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 even my imagination. We needed a plan and it was devised, inadvertently by me, during our kitchen fire. Would it be bold enough to work? Boldness had rewarded us thus far I suppose. Part 4 of 5 This episode contains swearing.Listener discretion is advised. For merchandise and tran...

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 accidental meeting. This was a game between two great minds. Part 3 of 5 This episode contains swearing.

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 lot more. The game really was afoot so Sherlock and I donned disguises, whole new characters to lure in the elusive Miss Adler.

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 knife-wielder in Milverton's bedroom. It was time to see who was the real Irene Adler. Part 1 of 5PREVIOUS ADVENTURE INFO: Charles Augustus Milverton was a master in blackmail and had, in his property, a drive containing a trove of scandalous data that he used to build his empire. ...

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.

Humming in the back of our minds this whole time was the simple question that if Hector didn't kill Jonas, then where the hell is that Norwood builder?

That first appearance on our doorstep, flustered, bewildered and hellbent on telling us a fascinating story of international subterfuge, a global criminal web and of course how he woke up in Wisteria Lodge all alone.
