Welcome to Baker Street, where we bring you stories of London's most celebrated consulting detective. Tonight's tale takes us back to a foggy morning in Victorian London, where a most peculiar delivery to Scotland Yard sets in motion a macabre investigation.

In "The Case of the Broken Heart," Inspector Lestrade arrives at 221B Baker Street with a grotesque puzzle - a lead-lined box containing a human heart preserved in ice. While Holmes immediately begins weaving his web of deductions about Indian wood and army officers, a more sinister plot unfolds in the shadows. For behind this grisly discovery lurks the machinations of Holmes's greatest nemesis, Professor Moriarty, and an unexpected conspirator within the very walls of Baker Street itself.

Join us as Dr. Watson narrates this chilling tale of deception, where nothing - and no one - is quite what they seem. Stay tuned as we delve into another adventure from the chronicles of Sherlock Holmes.

Music has often been an inspiration for my poetry and writing. I have seen the band Little Feet many times at the City Hall in Newcastle and they are a great favourite of mine. In this episode, I have used their track "Dixie Chicken" to inspire a short story. I love narrative-type songs and there is a strong storyline in this track. I wrote to the band and asked their permission and I have taken their lack of a refusal (or a reply) to mean they don't mind.
