NOTES

The cast list includes a cross section of Victorian society, from the Prince of Wales down to Clarence the Clairvoyant Pig at the Sadler's Wells music hall. Sherlock Holmes and the Freemasons are in there somewhere, the trouble is that it's a long way from clear just who the good guys are - and anyway, isn't Sherlock Holmes supposed to be a fictional character?A routine trip on the Royal Train, to take a visiting VIP to the North of England, brings all the players together. Fowler thinks he has things under control, but then the trouble really kicks off. Stuck on the moors in a snowstorm, outgunned and out manoeuvred, Fowler begins to wish that he was back in the navy. The only possible help around would be from an extremely unlikely source, and one that takes very careful handling."The resourceful Mr. Fowler, a great Victorian hero, utterly unscrupulous and deeply devious."
