Ian Richardson stars in this thrilling programme as the enigmatic Joseph Bell, to whom Arthur Conan Doyle allegedly wrote : 'It is to you that I owe Sherlock Holmes.' This feature length prime time programme was broadcast on BBC1 to wide critical acclaim.
When the public unwrapping of an allegedly ancient Egyptian mummy turns out to reveal the fresh corps of a contemporary gentleman, Dr Joseph Bell and Arthur Conan Doyle that foul play is at hand.
After the post-mortem proves that the deceased was in fact the victim of a brutal murder, their search leads them to a Canadian art collector who appears to be equally keen to solve the riddle of the mummy; but can appearances be trusted?
Dr. Bell and Doyle's investigation leads them through an intriguing maze of murder, deception and a terrifying political fanaticism which threatens the lives of everyone including the doctor and his apprentice themselves.
