Sherlock Combs in... The Case of the Vanished Hamster
The school hamster, Shufty, has gone missing. Now it's up to a reluctant detective called Sherlock Combs, and his sidekick Botson, to track the hamster down. Soon they're dragged into an intriguing, and very silly, mystery involving badger costumes, mysterious boxes, moths and something called Yum Yum Sauce.
A New Alaska production.
