Publisher's Summary
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most fully realised and enduring fictional characters ever created. His personality and the details of his intellect, his manners, his dress, his habits, his appetites, his techniques and his methods created, from the beginning, a place for him in the public consciousness of a kind that had perhaps never been experienced in literature.
This episode examines the evidence that he may have had a secret sex life, and we use Holmes’s unrepentant use of narcotics to enter the secret (and not so secret) world of Victorian drug use.

Droll
Wryly amusing, a pleasure to hear Stephen Fry reading with such obvious enjoyment. Easy bedtime stories!

prostitution, pornography, freak shows, etc
After listening to the remaining episodes I am raising my assessment of this series. This is light listening while doing housework etc, entertaining snippets of renacted scandals and interviews with academics on homsexuality, insanity etc. I adore the caramel voice of Stephen Fry -- the best part really.
I am not rating individual episodes.

Really Gory, Unpleasant and Pulpy
For anyone expecting a high quality and educational series like The Great Courses, you will be disappointed.
This plays out more like an episode of a show on the History Channel than a course on English history.
The very first chapter will have you furrowing your brow, glaring at your phone in perplexity.
I understand that this is a podcast but it is basically not listenable.
