The Christmas GooseThe Christmas GooseTime: 15:30 The Christmas Goose and The Green Carbuncle, English language theatre from Orange Planet. Based on the short story "The Adventures of The Blue Carbuncle" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
It's Christmas time in Victorian London. By chance, Peterson, a doorman, witnesses a fight between a gentleman and some thugs. At the sight of the official-looking Peterson everyone runs off, and the gentleman leaves his hat and a goose behind. While cooking the goose - for what else can be done with it - Peterson's wife discovers a priceless gem in the crop of the bird, the very stone stolen a few days earlier from the Countess of Morcar. High time for Peterson's friends Miss Holmes and Dorothea Watson to take a closer look at the gentleman's hat and begin to hunt for the thief.
