Alfred 'Woodie' Woods was Sir Arthur's trusted secretary Woodie wad played by Charles Edwards.
After the death of his wife, Louisa, Conan Doyle fell into a state of apathy and despair. It was Alfred who brought the case of George Edaljo to his attention as a distraction . When presented by this real-life miscarriage of justice, Doyle was roused to actionand used his skills of detection to rival those of his fictional creation.
Alfred's suit is not as smart as Arthur's but is still of better quality than George's.
