Description: What if Sherlock Holmes was born in another time, at the other end of the country and the other end of society? Oh, yeah, and he swore quite a lot.

“An entertaining, witty and a respectful re-imagining of the beloved detective”
Imagine if Sherlock Holmes, with his dry wit and natural predilection for data, deduction and logic, had been born in a different time and place. The Accidental Detective places the world’s greatest detective in gritty present-day Middlesbrough. This working-class anti-hero teams up with his court-appointed psychologist, Doctor John Watson, to train his immense skills on a series of mysteries that both baffle and entertain.
This Sherlock Holmes is different from you’ve seen before. The arrogance of old would get short shrift on Teesside. Instead, our loveable rogue hides his talents under a bushel of misdirection, self-deprecation and gin-dry northern wit, served up with some rather coarse language.
