10 Dec 202350 minTV-PG
The character of master sleuth Sherlock Holmes made its creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, rich and famous. But the author came to bitterly resent the detective. Lucy Worsley looks at the origins of Holmes and how the early stories reflected the dark side of Victorian Britain. As Conan Doyle’s peers looked down on his work and Holmes started to over-shadow the novelist, his creation’s fate was sealed.
