Doctor Who Vs. The Irregulars

This dark period drama is Netflix's second recent

 Arabs" led by Wiggins,

who only appeared in

three Sherlock Holmes

stories.

The five teenagers

here are recruited by

Dr. Watson (portrayed

by Royce Pierreson) to investigate supernatural crimes, whilst Holmes (Henry Lloyd Hughes) remains a peripheral presence. The characters inspired two

BBC dramas - The Baker Street Boys (in 1983), and Sherlock Holmes and
