Mark Watson is generally accepted to be alive. And yet he’s died. In fact, he’s died loads of times. On stage. It’s embarrassing. Excruciating.

And that time he died inside.

Chiltern boards the 23:50 sleeper train from London to Edinburgh with two pork pies, six beers and a packet of chocolate digestives.

To him, it’s the end of his story - and time to crack open the biscuits. But across the world, 158 phones are lighting up with a notification.

In the second series, Mark turns his attention to the Six Virtues, guiding us through Courage, Patience, Generosity, Honesty, Diligence, and Humility. Mark Watson Makes the World Substantially Better is a mixture of stand-up, sketches and songs.

For Damir, time is money. He bikes around the city collecting food orders, rushing through the cycle lanes next to Uber drivers and grocery vans – and all the other people delivering your every desire.

But one summer’s evening, a chance encounter changes all the rules. Damir arrives on Decca’s doorstep with a bag of spilled edamame beans, in a postcode that could be another universe, and there’s an immediate connection.

This is a book for leaders, particularly CEOs, executive directors, divisional leaders and for anyone aspiring to lead people in a better way, a more human way. It’s for people who have chosen the ‘adventure ride’ and not the ‘guided tour’. My book is based on over 30 years of real-life experiences with CEOs and leaders: the strategies and cultures they strive to bring into play, their behaviour, successful approaches, challenges, mistakes and at times failures. I have been in the thick of it. I am setting out to shine fresh light through my 12 insights.

This volume, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson: The Early Adventures, is an amazing collection of some of Holmes and Watson’s fascinating cases that occurred during those first three years in Baker Street, when Holmes was creating his unique profession of consulting detective and Watson was still recovering from the war wounds that he’d received in Afghanistan and slowly returning to the business of being a civilian doctor. Included are 31 new stories in three companion volumes by some of today’s best Sherlockian pasticheurs.
