@bigfinish.bsky.social's new Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock Holmes Untold, is an entertaining romp through the missing adventures. You can hear me chatting to other Sherlockians about it in their their podcast www.bigfinish.com/podcasts but don't let that put you off buying it.

The Summer Sherlock Holmes Journal is hitting doorsteps. It’s my first issue as editor since taking over from the inestimable Roger Johnson earlier this year.

Thanks to @acdsociety.bsky.social, Ron Levitsky, Daniel Friedman, @canadianholmes.bsky.social and @221bcooee.bsky.social

It was an absolute pleasure to attend and speak at the Sherlock Holmes Society of London annual dinner in the House of Commons yesterday evening. Lovely to meet @andrewfinkel.bsky.social who gave a fascinating talk and to meet so many Sherlockians I have only encountered online.

Great event to celebrate 40 years of Granada’s #sherlockholmes at Riverside today. Lovely to talk at length to Esther Dean, costume designer, who did so much to shape the look of the series. Thank you to the organisers. Only sorry I had to race off for my train!

And let us never forget the most awesome line reading in all of Dr Who:

Four Christmas television shows to know me by

In 1899, the excellently named "Gertrude Bacon" asked celebrities to draw pigs blindfolded for The Strand Magazine. Points for Lord Roberts and Walter Besant, wooden spoons for Conan Doyle and Henry Irving and nul point for Tenniel who clearly cheated.

‘Tis the season. Huzzah!

Rewatching the excellent 1925 ‘The Lost World’ as prep for the next @doingsofdoyle.bsky.social podcast and really wish this dude had been one of the party…

"The showrunner comes to you asking for a script for a
#DoctorWho
anniversary special. They want a multi Doctor story, you need:
💙 A Doctor
💙 Another Doctor
💙 An extra companion
💙 A villain"

Gah! Someone invited me to a 7am meeting!!!

Very much enjoyed @patersonjoseph.bsky.social’s ‘Sancho and Me’ at York Theatre Royal last night. An inventive fusion of two lives and a very entertaining and uplifting evening. The book is well worth picking up too. I would love to have the time to return to my anti-slavery research but alas…

It’s Friday and I have the afternoon off, so probably Watson here

Oh my, there really are a lot of us on here, aren’t there? Hurray! Getting notifications of new follower alerts is like:
