In this ingenious meeting of two Victorian classics, Dr. Watson visits his old friend Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Eve, finding him in a dark and misanthropic mood, planning to retire from the dull work of solving crimes. But soon, Holmes is visited by the ghost of his great enemy Professor Moriarity, who warns Holmes that he is heading towards his own damnation and tells him of an upcoming visit by three spirits. During the visits that follow, we learn about Holmes’ childhood and his lost love, the chaos that his early retirement has caused his friends and associates throughout London, and finally a terrifying future: Holmes sees himself, a cold creature of pure intellect, supplying weapons to the battlefields of the First World War. Waking on Christmas morning, the repentant Holmes makes amends with his friends and rededicates himself to his higher purpose.

What is an Old Time Radio Show?
Before TV took over, radio was one of the world’s main sources of entertainment. Apart from news, commercials, and music, it also broadcasts shows: dramas, mysteries, comedies, and more. Families in the 1920s through to the 1960s gathered around to listen to what we now call old-time radio shows. Stories were brought to life live on the radio with voice actors and foley artists.
