  • This is NOT an original SH story by Sir A.C. Doyle, but one written by the excellent Mr. Eric Brown. You can find his website here:
    ericbrown.co.uk/
    I tried to contact the publishers of the book in which this remarkable story is to be found - "The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures" by Carroll&Graf Publishers, Inc. 1997 - but they are no longer in existence. However, I was able to get permission from the successor - The Perseus Books Group. Thank you very much indeed!!
    You can find them here:
    www.perseusbooksgroup.com/
    And you can still find the book on Amazon (I just checked - it was edited by Mike Ashley).

    I was quite upset by Jeremy Bretts early death the only other actor to come close, in my opinion was Peter Cushing . Anyway highly enjoyable tale, exceptional story telling though I was confused as to the where Cylon was to start then figured it was Ceylon. I had a look at the game with your amusing narrative I can never get the hang of them. The chap on the writing table was General Gordon of Khartom whose head was chopped off and stuck on a spear which we British seem very proud of. Carry on the jolly good work.

    What are your thoughts on the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, as well as the tv series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

    • @pikewerfer
      @pikewerfer  Před 9 lety +8

      Concerning those movies..... I guess the best way to describe it is: this is not my Sherlock Holmes. I daresay Jeremy Brett and the wonderful TV series from Granada Television were a lot closer to what I envision our favorite sleuth would act and behave like (I also liked the BBC audio play very much, by the way). Turning him into an action hero was.... understandable from a monetary point of view, but I daresay Doyle was rotating in his grave. I watched them, and had no choice but to rename the characters in my mind in order to sit through it.
      The Sherlock-Series I like a lot better, because it is clearly obvious that this is a restart in an alternate modern reality. It therefore does not touch/maltreat or "threat" my emotional attachment to the rational, bohemian Victorian gentleman I treasure in my imagination. This Sherlock, though very similar to him in many ways, is clearly a different person. I therefore was able to sit back, relax and smile at the similarities of characters and cases.
      Have I answered your question?
