GOT IT! Jonathan Creek Series 2 Episode 6 Mother Redcap, .......... and it's on BBC iplayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02zy1bn/jonathan-creek-series-2-6-mother-redcap

Carol the Dabbler - Definitely the major plot point. No apparent cause of death, finding out that it was the electrified spikes and who operated them was the whole story. I was sure it was a Brett/ Holmes episode but bow to everyone's posts on here that it wasn't. I'll do some more searching when I have time.

Carol the Dabbler, thank you. Got my settings and email wrong, sorted now. So the mystery continues. No I didn't dream it, remember it vividly as it was such an intriguing storyline. It's just as I described it. So it's not Sherlock Holmes Jeremy Brett series. Tried myself to find this story but still looking. Could be from Armchair Theatre or Thriller???

Hi Everyone. Sorry but I never got notified of these replies and I've only just seen them. I was sure it was a Sherlock Holmes episode. It is exactly as I describe it, I'm absolutely sure of that, the spikes through the floor, electrocution etc. Perhaps it was another detective series but it was shot in the Sherlock Holmes style and era. I was sure it was the Jeremy Brett/Holmes series. Still can't find it. Anymore ideas???

Can anyone help please? Trying to identify an episode from the Jeremy Brett series of Sherlock Holmes. A man is seen standing by an upstairs window, when suddenly his face is contorted with horror and he collapses. On entering the room the man is quite dead with no visible injuries. Turns out the floor has holes drilled through it exactly where he was standing in bare feet, and with the pull of a lever in an adjoining room electrified metal spikes can be raised through the holes electrocuting the victim. A shocking experience Watson! ......... but which episode is it???
