every sweet morsel.

You’re allowed! We have our preferences! I’m an old school Granada fan, and fell in love with the show forever when Jeremy leaped over the sofa and told Watson that he couldn’t have come at a better time! That along with Charles Gray as Mycroft, Eric Porter as a genuinely fearsome Moriarty, and I was hooked!

But now I need to plunge into the radio versions…

This is absolutely evil: I agree that all of us goyim need to support our Jewish friends, colleagues, and fellow lovers of the Good. Antisemitism is evil and inexcusable!

It is 2024 and I have literally just read the sentence “Basic human decency is something a Jew is not capable of” on this godforsaken website with my own two eyes, so I think we’re exceedingly past the point of pretending Nazi level antisemitism is not a massive and rising fucking problem and my fellow goyim *really* need to stop shutting their eyes to it and start saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

There are zero excuses. Our Jewish friends CANNOT fight this alone. We CANNOT fail them again.

I’m pleasantly surprised by these episodes: The Holmes and Watson friendship is nicely portrayed.

Holmes asks Watson to look around the suspect's apartment. When Watson asks how he will get in Holmes replies "with a key". Watson asks if he has a key and Holmes jangles the keys at him in response

Not original to me, but a good one: there’s an oft-told story that endeared [Alan] Alda to me as well: Sometime in the last decade he attended an dinner ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II and while standing in the reception line, he realized he was next to Donald Sutherland, who originated the role of Hawkeye Pierce in the film version of M*A*S*H. Alda leaned over to Sutherland and whispered, “Thank you for my life.”

That is quite lovely.

I just pledged; there’s also a Kickstarter for new traditional style Sherlock Holmes stories from MX Books.

Your beauty and spirit are as lovely as ever—and, yes, you were my first crush, and taught me to admire women in so many ways.

Edward is even more remarkable. I'll give you an example. You can publish it or not, it makes no difference to me. When I came out of the asylum, the person who collected me was Edward Hardwicke. He took me to an Italian restaurant. I had a pasta and a glass of red wine. He then drove me back to my home where we sat and had a cup of tea. It was Edward Hardwicke. He is one of the loveliest people, and I suppose he is the best friend that any man has ever had....in life. Which is after all how Doyle describes Watson.

Confession: this is why Charles Gray is my favorite Mycroft!

To contrast him physically even more with Sherlock, I think Mycroft should have a deep, soft-spoken voice to go with Sherlock's voice being described as high and piercing.

Also, Mycroft speaks very slowly, while Sherlock runs his mouth at a million miles an hour. :)

I was delightfully shocked to see that Jeremy’s canon book is the same one my Dad gave me when I fell in love with the character and his world at age 10. Here it is:

Dear friends who enjoyed Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, his first guest star, Gayle Hunnicutt, who played Irene Adler in the series first episode, “A Scandal in Bohemia” has died at 80 years old. Her Adler was superb.

I love them all. Striking Loretta Swit is a Goddess.
