A new detective drama, loosely based on the real-life investigative work of Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, airs tonight at 9pm on UK television. The programme, titled 'Murder Rooms', follows a young Conan Doyle and his pathologist mentor Dr Joseph Bell as they probe a grisly discovery.
In the episode, the pair investigate the finding of a blood-smeared brothel in Edinburgh. The drama stars Robin Laing as the young Conan Doyle and Ian Richardson as Dr Joseph Bell, the real-life figure who inspired the character of Sherlock Holmes.
The series draws on historical cases and Doyle's own experiences as a medical student, blending fact with fiction to create a compelling period crime drama. Viewers can expect a dark and atmospheric portrayal of Victorian Edinburgh's underworld.
