Synopsis

Being the unknown brother or sister of someone famous can be tough. Sigerson Holmes certainly thinks so, and he wants to prove he is as good a detective as the great Sherlock (or "Sheer Luck", as he bitterly refers to him). Sherlock secretly provides his sibling with a case that he really should be able to solve. Sigerson's unique (and slightly bonkers) way of tackling the mystery is what makes this original and energetic comedy so funny.
