The young man in the rain who goes back to fetch his umbrella and is then found dead is named as James Phillimore. A man of the same name is in the Conan Doyle stories and is recorded as one of Holmes’ unsolved cases. They made the 60 minute pilot in 2009.

Transcript by Ariane DeVere aka Callie Sullivan. Please note: Although complete, this is and will continue to be very much a work in progress.
