Hound of the Baskervilles

Season 1 Episode 2 | 2m 55s

Arthur thought he had the makings of a great ghost story. There was this phantom hound, and there was the spooky setting of Dartmoor. It is of course Hound of the Baskervilles. At the heart of this gothic tale there was a mystery to be solved, and one man would be perfect for the job. But Arthur had spent the last 8 years trying to make a name for himself away from Sherlock Holmes.
