Arthur & George is a three-part British television drama based on the book of the same name by Julian Barnes, based in turn on the real-life Great Wyrley Outrages. The first episode aired on 2 March 2015 on ITV. It stars Martin Clunes as Arthur Conan Doyle

Finally got around to watching the last episode last night, (after seeing "Mr Holmes".)
Well worth watching, intriguing, and made me want to look into the actual case a bit more. (None of the ACD biographies cover it in any depth.)
I do wish they hadn't used Clunes for ACD, he's too associated with "Doc Martin" etc etc to be a convincing ACD.

I'm just watching this now and enjoying it greatly - did a search so I wouldn't start a duplicate thread if you'd already seen it, Gob. (I'm learning!)
Did you see Mr. Holmes in the theatre when it released? I'm looking forward to the digital release.
eta: Doh! Now I've read your second post in this thread, I see you have. Worth paying to rent, or wait for it to stream for free?
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
