The rag-tag group of street kids known as the Irregulars first appeared in the Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet, in 1887.

Only by the combination of all their skills can they hope to free Holmes and the kidnap victims, solve the murders and prevent an audacious heist.

Baker Street Irregulars brings together the multi-award winning Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean) as Sherlock Holmes and Bill Paterson (Sea of Souls, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Wives and Daughters) playing his trusty companion, Dr Watson.
听
It also stars Anna Chancellor (Tipping the Velvet>, Four Weddings and a Funeral) as Irene Adler; Michael Maloney (Monarch of the Glen, Truly, Madly, Deeply) as Inspector Stirling, and a host of rising stars as the Baker Street Irregulars.
