Episode 7: The Adventure of the Politician, the Lighthouse and the Trained Cormorant Part 1
On the Prime Minister's train, as the world stands on the brink, Dr Watson's stories are reaching their crescendo. Yet before then there is one more account to be revealed - the truth about the long and secret war between Mr Holmes and that tentacular organisation known as the Lighthouse!
Sherlock Holmes Untold is a serialised audio drama comprising eight half-hour episodes, released as weekly downloads. This episode is released on Wednesday 12 November 2025.
Recorded on: 19-22 June 2023
Recorded at: The Soundhouse
Writer Jonathan Barnes said: "This is the finale of our series, inspired by that famous reference in The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger, in which Watson says that attempts have been made to get at his treasure trove of documents concerning Holmes’ cases.
"And he warns the reader - we know who is behind these attempts, and if they persist, the full story concerning the Politician, the Lighthouse and the Trained Cormorant will be released. And that's always been extremely tantalising!
"We’ve made this into the overarching story of Sherlock Holmes Untold, but particularly of these final two episodes. Although a lot of the stories so far have been quite small, quite domestic, it's important to end on a larger canvas."
