Before fanfiction was a buzzword, The Seven-Per-Cent Solution reinvented Sherlock Holmes. I’ve written about how it shaped the Holmesian universe.

Actor Eddie Marsan makes brilliant points in relation to ‘posh’ actors being promoted over actors from working-class and more diverse backgrounds. Likewise, it doesn’t help when w/c & diverse screenwriters aren’t having their ‘voices’ heard on screen. news.sky.com/story/posh-b...

#ScriptSkyUK
Image is a screenshot of a Sky News article in which British actor Eddie Marsan is discussing difficulties for working-class actors getting on in the TV and film industry. It reads: Eddie Marsan, star of major blockbusters such as the Sherlock Holmes films and Misdion Impossible III, as well as TV series Ray Donovan, and Supacell, said there’s one thing he’s come to notice is how few of his cast mates tend to share his working-class roots. “If you want to become an actor in this country, and you come from a disadvantaged background, you have to be exceptional to have a hope of a career,” he says. “If you come from a privileged background you can be mediocre.”

It’s October, and I keep coming back to The Adventure of the Devil’s Foot, Doyle at his most Gothic.
Fog, fear, and reason wrestling with the uncanny.
Holmes may be a man of logic, but even he knew that darkness sometimes hides in plain sight… 🕯️🕵️‍♂️
