Sample Text:
(Silence ensues as Narrator, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson await next ‘mystery’)
Narrator: (Impatiently) Next!
(More silence)
(Narrator looks through his notes in agitation)
Narrator: Now, let’s see. That Minoan Civilization! Where have they got to?
Sherlock: Er, I think that’s just the point! You see, they disappeared around 1450 BC.
Narrator: What do you mean, disappeared?
Sherlock: (Mimicking waving a wand) Vamoosh! Gone!
Narrator: OK so can we lose the crazy wizard act? Or did Arthur leave his Merlin behind?
(Enter Arthur Evans)
Arthur Evans: Well, luckily for us, much of the great palace at Knossos remained so we can at least find out lots about how the Minoans lived.
Narrator: And you are?
Arthur Evans: Archaeologist, Arthur Evans!
Sherlock: Ah, an earthy detective!
Arthur Evans: Yes, you could say that! Not afraid to get my hands dirty!
Watson: All that scrabbling around in the ground – not quite my cup of tea!
Arthur Evans: Ah but the rewards are great! To unearth all 1,500 rooms of that Minoan palace – to say nothing of the fact that Crete is a delightful Greek island on which to vacation!
Sherlock: Hmm. I guess it beats the dirt and grime of our Victorian back streets!
Arthur Evans: Indeed. And such a lovely climate. You know
Narrator: (Interrupting impatiently) Gentlemen! Gentlemen! We are not here to discuss possible holiday destinations! What I want to know is, what happened to the people who built and lived in this great palace that you speak of?
