Sinopse

 "'Why, Holmes, it is a child's drawing,' I cried." [DANC]  Just when you thought everything about Sherlock Holmes and popular culture was known, a new mystery emerges from dusty U.S. newspaper archives.  Join us as we interview the remarkable Ross E. Davies, BSI ("The Temple"), organizer of "The Scourers of the Dancing Men," a fascinating research project that dives deep into a 1903 advertising campaign for the publication of "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" in Collier's magazine.  They've discovered dozens of unique advertisements — including a particularly intriguing "third format" whose cryptic figures bear a striking, unexplained resemblance to the original drawings that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. You'll hear about the ongoing, national hunt for missing ads and the perplexing questions these newly found "Collier's dancing men" pose. You can even join the search to gather the data and help solve this curious, 120-year-old mystery. Once again, we give you a glimpse of Sherlockian society activit
