On St. Patrick's Day, it's the perfect time to reflect on the occasions we find Irish influences in the Sherlock Holmes stories. It's just a Trifle. ihose.co/trifles116 Listen wherever you get podcasts: pod.link/trifles/epis...

Robert Duvall, who played Watson in The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, has died. We have a conversation with Nicholas Meyer, BSI ("A Fine Morocco Case"), author of the book and the screenplay in which he tells the story about how Robert Duvall got the part of Dr. Watson:

MURDER AT THE BASKERVILLES (1937) In his final outing as Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Wontner is assisted by his Dr. Watson, Ian Fleming (no, not that one), as they investigate a Baskerville-related murder involving a hound (no, not that one). #365Movies 2

Seems like a good time to remember that Vincent Starrett’s famous poem “221B” made its first public appearance on January 3, 1943 in the Chicago Tribune. It famously concluded with: “Here, though the world explode, these two survive, And it is always eighteen ninety-five.”

"Before the lifetime of adventure came the adventure of a lifetime." So went the tagline for YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES, which premiered 40 years ago, on December 4, 1985. Celebrate with us:

All the way from the Birmingham Rep, it’s Humphrey Ker and David Reed, the writers and stars of the Andrew Lloyd-Webber/Tim Rice musical play Sherlock Holmes & the 12 Days of Christmas!

It's no surprise that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are the perfect pair. But where they turned up recently may be a bit jarring...

Arthur Wontner (born OTD in 1875) was 56 when he began portraying Sherlock Holmes in 5 films: 1931: THE SLEEPING CARDINAL(based on "The Empty House"), previously considered lost, but located; 1932: THE MISSING REMBRANDT (based on "Charles Augustus Milverton"), which is a lost film;

In 1925, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle asked Goyard to design him a portable writing desk. He requested a custom-made trunk that would enable him to comfortably pursue his writing on his continuous worldwide forays.

Elementary, my dear Woodstock.

Born #OTD in 1837, the inspiration for #SherlockHolmes, Joseph Bell, JP, DL, FRCSE (2 Dec 1837 – 4 Oct 1911). Had Doyle never met Bell in 1877 at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, there likely never would have been a Sherlock Holmes. Raise a glass today to celebrate the memory of Joe Bell!

"It was on the morning of Friday, the eight-and-twentieth day of November, two days before the feast of St. Andrew, that the cog and her two prisoners… dropped anchor at last in front of the noble city of Bordeaux." From #ArthurConanDoyle's 'The White Company.' https://buff.ly/3nUgig7
