Killing Sherlock: Lucy Worsley on the Case of Conan Doyle

Lucy Worsley explores the extraordinary love-hate relationship between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes.

Arthur Conan Doyle had managed to finally rid himself of Sherlock Holmes. But who was Arthur without Sherlock, and could he become the hero of his own story?

After Sherlock’s return from the dead, Doyle became an evangelist for spiritualism. His star declined after a public spat, whereas Sherlock Holmes found a life beyond his author.
