After the Reichenbach Falls incident, the renowned Sherlock Holmes returns to London. But he’s not the same. Moriarty is dead – what does Sherlock do now? He’s lost the Napoleon to his Wellington, the Salieri to his Mozart, the (insert other great rival pair here). What’s to happen on the great chessboard of life when one doesn’t have a worthy opponent with whom to spar?

No-one can raise Holmes from his funk – until Tiny Tim turns up at the door, no longer tiny but all grown-up and convinced that his old mentor Ebenezer Scrooge (who’d turned his miserly ways around following that Christmas) has been murdered. Murder! Or is it? One thing’s for sure, there are foul, and fowl, things afoot. We follow the case, with a variety of colourful suspects, witnesses and spirited others. Throw in a goose or two and we have a party!
