IT'S A KINDA MAGIC - Sherlock Holmes woke me with that crazed excitement in his eyes that could only mean one thing: a case. It became clear fairly early on however that this problem was a little too elementary for his tastes. So he made it into a game. John Watson vs Mariana Ametxazurra. Who could win the case and bring home the Crimesolving Cup. There is no cup. But there was at least fierce competition to impress Sherlock. And of course you lot, if you're impressed by such things. #TeamJohnPart 1 of 2This episode contains swearing, death, animal suffering.Listener discretion is advised.A new clothing store has opened: www.sherlockwear.comFor merchandise and transcripts go to: www.sherlockandco.co.ukFor ad-free, early access to adventures in full go to www.patreon.com/sherlockandcoTo get in touch via email: [email protected]Follow me @DocJWatsonMD on twitter and BlueSky, or sherlockandcopod on TikTok, instagram and YouTube. This podcast is property of Goalhanger Podcasts.Copyright 2026.SHERLOCK AND CO.Based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan DoylePaul Waggott as Dr. John WatsonHarry Attwell as Sherlock HolmesMarta da Silva as Mariana AmetxazurraAdam Jarrell as Inspector MackinnonLauren Hall as VetAdditional Voices:Adam JarrellJoel EmeryDarcey FergusonWritten by Joel EmeryDirected by Adam JarrellEditing and Sound Design by Adam JarrellProduced by Neil Fearn and Jon GillExecutive Producer Tony PastorLearn more about your ad choices.
