There was a short (9 minutes) piece that was part of BBC 4 Extra's 4 O'Clock show today which caught my eye.

Two (final) Pipe Problems
I wasn't expecting any more of these. From the BBC blurb it looks like these will be the final episodes (where have I heard that before). The very final episode (airing tomorrow Tuesday) sounds like a real corker with it's MR James theme and set som

I don't know if this is of interest and I'm reluctant to say anymore in case you haven't read the book. I have uploaded a mp3 of the Last Sherlock Holmes Story section of the show. It's about 10 minutes.
