As #SherlockHolmesDay #WorldGothDay and #PhantomsFriday all fall on the same day, why don't you go and play with your dog in the moors.

Happy Sherlock Holmes Day! And happy birthday to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who has always been a 'fixed point in a changing age' for me.

Happy Birthday to Sir Arthur #SherlockHolmes

Anything else old boy just isn’t cricket

Happy Sherlock Holmes Day! This year's incarnation of the Honorable Sleuth comes from the Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes family.

Friday

I'm no purist and don't think we should embalm any fictional character. While I certainly have my preferences (quelle surprise 🙄), I appreciate new interpretations. But this is too soon for a series! Alas, The Christie Estate has only 20yrs to milk this before the books enter public domain in UK&EU

Have an ever so happy day!

Hercule and Felicity are mad at you

This is dressed up as a cutesy straight couple dynamics joke (as in "She wouldn’t REALLY be wearing the trousers in the relationship, would she!"), but let's not forget that she's the effin producer. people.com/robert-downe...

Let's get the coffee going and this show on the road!

To put it in perspective, on Sundays "MURDER SHE WROTE" was 8th most popular in the ratings (CBS' highest rated show). After attempting to compete with Friends after being moved to Thrusday... they fell to 58th. Oy. #Television #90s #Nostalgia #OTD #MurderSheWrote

The final episode of the Murder, She Wrote aired 30 years ago #OTD 19 May 1996. S12E24 "Death by Demographics" The episode title refers to the series having been moved to a timeslot where it went up against Friends, which ultimately triggered a ratings drop and led to CBS cancelling the show.

Evil Under the Sun (1982) Directed by Guy Hamilton adapted from the 1941 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie stars Peter Ustinov heads up an all-star cast as Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective.

Resolutely to face a new day!

Dalgliesh S4 will – with the blessing of PD James’s Estate – include an original story in which "a murder of an ex-inmate at a women’s prison … draws attention to her aristocratic cell mate and reignites questions about a highly publicised murder trial." www.broadcastnow.co.uk/channel-5/da...

The gang hovering above the police line, as one does.

Our #BOTW, Miss Pinkerton by Mary Roberts Rinehart, is a Golden Age classic that picks up the trope of the nurse sleuth. Hilda Adams’ position enables her to find out all the intimate and dark secrets of her patients that the police could not have uncovered so easily.

Meunday.

Oui.

Agatha Christie foresaw the Nordic mystery sub genre coming. Her avatar within the Poirot novels, Ariadne Oliver, had her own Poirot, a Finn named Sven Hjerson. Granted, there are Swedish Finns, but not a very Finnish name.

Ariadne Oliver's master detective Sven Hjerson and his sidekick Klara Sandberg in the Swedish series "Agatha Christie's Hjerson", set in the Finnish Åland islands.

Sunday mood

The fact that this issue went out of print so quickly tells its own story.

The weekend, friends! 🩷

@greatdetective.bsky.social sadly Mr poirot wasn't home

Here's what happened

Maigret et le Marchand de vin (Maigret and the Wine Merchant) Georges Simenon #illustration #coverart

“You’re quite right, Holmes. Second Book of Samuel, Chapter 11. You appear to have looked it up yourself since we returned home from Aldershot.” “How did you know?” “You used this bill from our meal at Waterloo as a bookmark, did you not?” “Excellent, Watson.” “Elementary, my dear Holmes.”

— Good heavens, what is all that commotion down there? — Ha! They have only just heard the news. You will have to accustom yourself to it, my dear Watson!

The thing i liked about David burke is that he had that huge, ladykiller military air Watson almost always lacks

A new day still.

What, really? Oh, damn :(
