The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids is a programme entry classified as an episode, falling within the mystery‑drama genre. It centres on the famous duo, Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson, and is presented in a format that follows a single, self‑contained story. In this particular instalment, an infant is mysteriously placed on the front step of Holmes’s and Watson’s residence. The sudden appearance of the child catches the pair off guard, prompting them to take immediate responsibility for the helpless newcomer. The situation quickly becomes more than a simple act of charity. As the two detectives examine the circumstances surrounding the baby’s delivery, they discover that the child is not a random orphan but is linked to a larger, unresolved case. The infant is identified as the daughter of a French scientist who has vanished without a trace. Thus, what begins as an unexpected doorstep delivery evolves into a personal connection to the missing scientist’s plight. The revelation that the baby is the scientist’s offspring ties the domestic mystery directly to the broader enigma of the French researcher’s disappearance, drawing Holmes and Watson into a new line of inquiry.
