Sark

And now settle yourself down, and I'll get on with tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure.

Where did it take place? You may not be familiar with the names of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, but those are the four principal islands that make up the group known as the Channel Islands.

Oh, yes, Doctor, I have heard of them.

They're somewhere in the English Channel, aren't they? Between the southern coast of England and the northern coast of France? That's

Oh, and finally, P&R has spent over two million pounds on a property, on property and land for a new road in the north of the island.

But first, we thought we'd have to cover off the tax debate, and well, a conclusion was reached, Michelle.
