Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover.

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street.

With Dr Watson in tow, the super sleuth begins to unravel the mysteries surrounding the death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles…

Packed full of the verbal and visual ingenuity and offering abundant opportunities for silly comedy and slapstick, this sublimely funny adaptation puts new twists on a classic tale of murder on the moors.
