“It is indeed, a fearful place. The torrent, swollen by the melting snow, plunges into a tremendous abyss, from which the spray rolls up like the smoke from a burning house” #sherlockholmes

Yes, I am a big kid 😀 #sherlockholmes

My favourite film and cinema's greatest ever villain, the suave but sinister Dr Julian Karswell, played by the brilliant Niall MacGinnis 🖤

NOW ON YOUTUBE: Episode 73 - 'A Regimental Scandal' (1892) - ACD's short story about cheating at cards that is a veiled commentary on the Royal Baccarat scandal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ6c... Shownotes bit.ly/DOD73sn

Finished it yesterday! It's a bit bare bones and too quick, but the 2nd half ties everything together nicely. Seeing Holmes be a reclusive crime solving enthusiast was a breath of fresh air after seeing so many exaggerated adaptions in tv and film!

Bit of a shelf

If you don't have lots of money (like me) but are immersed with other fans in Conan Doyle, it is very easy to understand why people would buy a forgery at a "too good to be true" price. An important expose of forgeries, ACD, and eBay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ8E...

A nice EBay find

No spoiler alerts in the Strand 😃 #sherlockholmes

Should I have been surprised at the level of Guy Ritchie's second act for Sherlock Holmes? sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

NEW EPISODE - Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty (2025), with writer-director Nick Lane. We talk to Nick about Gothic adaptations, working with Blackeyed Theatre and his latest play, based on some of the short stories, which is touring the UK right now. bit.ly/DOD068sn

Night of the Demon (1957) timeline: October 28. “You've sold your bill of goods too well, because I believe you now. I believe that in five minutes something monstrous and horrible is going to happen. And when it does, you're going to be here so that whatever happens to me will happen to you.”

"The Adventure of the Three Students" is complete! The three suspects are represented at the top, the crime scene is at the bottom. My Watson said it was one of his favorites ☺️ #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #booksky #mysteries #victorian

I’m on my way home from Southampton and was sort of in the area, so I stopped by to pay my respects to the great man #sherlockholmes

Basil Rathbone, Evelyn Ankers, and Nigel Bruce for THE PEARL OF DEATH, a Sherlock Holmes mystery directed by Roy William Neill in 1944.

Two nice finds last weekend, a 1901 Study in S, for £15, and I haven’t seen the Granada Holmes guide before, snapped up for £1.50. And the Sci Fi book is I am Legend for a quid😀

The sun is shining and I'm excited to be throwing myself into rehearsals for Sherlock Holmes : the Hunt for Moriarty!

I’m not going to lie, I bought this just for the title and the cover 😀

Just arrived. This is a great idea, for an anthology. #SherlockHolmes

Happy Black Country day !!

I would’ve loved this to have continued, maybe as the adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle,with Woodie his secretary as his Watson.

To the 3 or 4 people who’ll see this. Is this game any good? #sherlockholmes

Top work by Edward S Smith Jr, I love these little gems of Sherlockiana #sherlockholmes

Well, with me being an Engineer (two thumbs) you’d think this Lego set would be a piece of cake🤔.It all went wrong with just one misplaced brick, and then it was a bit lopsided 😀. Then I ordered a replacement brick that I hadn’t lost 😂.

Out for a stroll
