Arthur & George is a three-part adaptation of Julian Barnes' novel about Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle as played by actor Martin Clunes. Set in 1906 in Staffordshire, Hampshire and London the drama follows Sir Arthur and his trusted secretary, Alfred ‘Woodie’ Wood as they investigate the case of George Edalji, a young Anglo-Indian solicitor who was imprisoned for allegedly mutilating animals and writing obscene letters.
Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, recaptures his zest for life by pursuing and challenging a notorious miscarriage of justice...
Woodie suspects that George is after all the Wyrley Ripper, but Arthur is not convinced and annoys the police. Then the local blacksmith is found dead.
Arthur attacks the case with renewed fervour and uncovers fresh evidence, but will he be able to unlock the case at last and prove that George was innocent?
