Harry Attwell as Sherlock Holmes

For god's sake, Sherlock, what's happening with this fire?

It is a castle.

How exactly would you plan on heating this 700-year-old building the size of the Royal Albert Hall?

I thought he said construction was all sorted downstairs.

Well, we know he's a deceitful man, don't we?

Hence this elaborate, affable persona he has developed.

Can we be serious for a moment?

After all his renovations, it would seem the plumber was next on the list.

I'm going to walk around a bit, try and warm myself up.

everyone, and, um, welcome to Hurlstone Castle in Sussex.

This is the voice of the late podcaster John Watson, who froze to death at the age of 36.

Um... Yeah, the thing is, when you live with a detective that blatantly has aristocratic heritage, even though he never talks about it, you end up with a lot of gigs like this.

This particular gig being the disappearance of Richard Brunton from an actual castle.

Um...

Yeah, I've been looking him up, actually.

He's, well, he's sort of an elite project manager for property development.

Well, redevelopment.

Once the hotel renovation got the green light, he got the job and got cracking on giving this place new purpose.

Another chapter in the annals of Hurlstone Castle.

And what annals, I have to say.
