 The Adventure of Black Peter


In the world of mystery, there is one case that would baffle Sherlock Holmes.

This case is The Adventure of Black Peter. This episode has only been televised once, and the BBC lost the copy when they had a clearout in the mid-1970s. Along with this invaluable Holmes, the entire second Doctor Who - Patrick Troughton - series was lost.
