The ultimate power struggle between the greatest detective who never lived and the writer who came to resent him.

In the other is writer, physician and spiritualist leader Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Lucy Worsley explores the extraordinary love-hate relationship between author and creation.
Lucy explores Doyle's desire to distance himself from Sherlock.
From the delights of the ski slopes to the horrors of the Boer War, she reveals how far Doyle went to make himself the hero of his own story - including taking on the role of detective himself in one of the most important legal cases of the 20th century.
Lucy also investigates the return of Sherlock and finds that the darkness of the later stories mirrored the reality of Doyle's life.
After the loss of his eldest son, he became an evangelist for spiritualism and his star declined after a public spat with the magician Houdini.

Thinah singoZungu
Channel: Mzansi Wethu (DStv 161)
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Docu-Reality, Music, Religion
An exclusive glimpse into the lives of the Zungu family, gospel royalty from KwaZulu-Natal.
This is a family that juggles faith, fame and fortune while living under the intense scrutiny of the Christian community.
As the family faces the challenge of being held to a higher moral standard, they are simply trying to raise their children and pursue their dreams.
Set against the stunning backdrops of iTheku (Durban), eNanda and Umhlanga, Thinah singoZungu paints a picture of the family's contrasting worlds - from township pride to suburban luxury.
At the heart of the show is Thinah Zungu, a pastor with deep Christian values, who embraces a flashy lifestyle that some may consider contradictory.
Having risen from a shack to a mansion, Thinah believes he has earned his luxurious life, complete with designer clothes and a high-profile social circle.
But with wealth and fame come criticism and Thinah is not afraid to defy the norms.
Behind the scenes Thinah's wife who is also a pastor, Zama (also known as uMaMtshali or Landlord) is stepping into her role as a pastor but is fiercely protective of the family she runs like a lioness.
With three children to raise - Ndumiso, Smanga and Olwethu - each child is on their own journey of self-discovery.
The eldest, Ndumiso, is already the family breadwinner, a weight his siblings struggle to understand as they fight to create their own identities beyond the confines of their parents' religious expectations.
The show explores universal themes of family vs fame, humility vs success and the price of chasing dreams.
It pulls the curtain on the Zungu family's journey where each step towards greatness comes with its own cost.
