Rodney and George are to provide a dramatic interlude at the Sherlock Holmes Society's annual congress. Events turn truly dramatic when George discovers the body of Rodney's financial director, dressed as Moriarty, in Rodney's cupboard. Proudly acknowledging he's the murderer, Rodney is piqued when others make the same claim. All are thwarted when the body staggers from the cupboard and passes a suicide note to inspector Jobling-- all to the accompaniment of The Pirates of Penzance!5 women, 4 men

In this brilliantly drawn and succinct play with amusing, real characters, Robin is organizing the Muncaster Philanthropists' exercise bicycle ride in the shopping piazza. The members are gathered in the early hours, ostensibly to support each other, but feelings get out of hand. Robin argues with Wolf, slaps down deserted dog-tired Derek and blackmails Gerard into taking his turn. Meanwhile the security guard reports evil doings in the car park, a no go area after dark. The event falls apart after Clooney's dog attacks the do-gooders and only lumpen Krystel is left in the glow with shadowy figures surrounding her.-5 women, 6 men
