Over a three-part series for BBC Two, Lucy Worsley examines the extraordinary relationship between Conan Doyle and his creation Sherlock Holmes.
Wanting to explore how Doyle draws on technological changes happening all around him to bring Holmes to life, we were challenged with putting a scenario from the story to the test – could an air rifle be powerful enough to shoot through a windowpane and its target?
Our entertainment sector specialists supported the BBC production team from enquiry to production, providing timely access to the museums’ resources.
This included making use of research & consultancy expertise from the curatorial team, the Royal Armouries Museum as a unique filming location, and an on-screen contribution from our curator, Jonathan Ferguson.
By providing each of these different services, the client received a complete solution to everything required to film a complicated but pivotal scene.
