About this episode

 The Auction of the Oxford Crown  
Length: ~28 minutes
Starring: Graham Armitage (Holmes), Kerry Jordan (Watson)
Summary
Holmes and Watson become involved in a curious affair surrounding the planned auction of a rare and valuable artifact known as the Oxford Crown. The sale attracts collectors, opportunists, and unsavory characters, each with their own motives for wanting the piece. When irregularities arise—either a theft, a forged item, or suspicious behavior among the bidders—Holmes recognizes that the auction is merely the stage for a deeper criminal scheme.
As the tension builds, Holmes uncovers hidden alliances, financial deceit, and a plot designed to manipulate the outcome of the auction for personal gain. His deductions expose the culprit's strategy and restore order before the prized item can be lost, stolen, or fraudulently exchanged.
 

🧩 A Matter of Deductio
Length: ~24 minutes
Starring: Graham Armitage (Holmes), Kerry Jordan (Watson)
Summary
Holmes and Watson are drawn into a case that hinges entirely on the precision of Holmes's reasoning. A puzzling incident—likely involving a crime with no obvious suspect or motive—forces Holmes to rely on the smallest details: a misplaced object, an inconsistent statement, or a physical clue that others have overlooked.
As the investigation unfolds, Holmes demonstrates the full range of his analytical method, eliminating impossibilities and reconstructing the truth from fragments. The case becomes a showcase of his intellectual discipline, culminating in a revelation that seems astonishing to everyone except Holmes himself.
