Without a Clue

on BBC One London

Comic mystery starring Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley
Sherlock Holmes is the world's greatest detective, and nobody knows this better than the man who created him - Dr Watson!
For in reality, the doctor is the master sleuth and Holmes merely the fictional front, impersonated by a clueless actor, Reginald Kincaid.
Watson finally fires his inept colleague. But when the Treasury's printing plate for the £5 note is stolen, the duo reluctantly team up again. (1988)
