Written and presented by Michael Hardwick with Sherlock Holmes dies at Reichenbach Falls - the news sent the British nation into mourning. City gents went about wearing black arm bands. A campaign was launched to bring the famous detective back. How could this fictitious character move a staid, unemotional race to such passion? And what sort of man created him? This programme, to mark the 50th anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's death, attempts to answer these questions. <br />
