British movie '221bCAUSE' is being fast tracked into production in the UK. In the story, 221b Baker Street is now a travel agents, and a disgraced female NYPD officer is now employed there. The travel agent replies to letters addressed to Sherlock Holmes and discovers one letter to be from the President of the United States' son, who has recently been kidnapped and so decides to take up the case.

Why a travel agent? The building is actually occupied by the Abbey National Building Society (for our American readers a building soc is like your mutual funds - but a bit better regulated. In fact the Abbey has recently turned into a bank)

There isn't actually an address of 221b Baker Street but the Abbey still accepts all letters addressed to Sherlock Holmes there (they still get about 30 per month) and they have someone there to answer them.

Is a travel agent more glamourous than a bank? It's a close call.
