Sherlock & Co - Mailbag Episode 4 Transcript

00:00-00:29 *Intro Music*

00:28 John: Hello there, Mister Flatmate.

00:31 Sherlock (Resigned): What is it and why have you got your laptop?

00:34 John: It’s that time! My fine fellow-

00:34 Sherlock: For goodness sake. *sounds of him moving on furniture*

00:36 John: Oi, where you going?

00:38 Sherlock: I’m getting my cushion.

00:39 John: Your cushion?

00:40 Sherlock: Yes. Here. This one.

00:42 John: That- that’s Mariana’s.

00:45 Sherlock: Ah, it’s mine.

00:46 John: I know it’s her’s. I bought it for her for Christmas.

00:50 Sherlock: Are you sure?

00:51 John: Yes, because you don’t support Real Sociedad and she does.

00:56 Sherlock: *pause* I could.

00:57 John: Yeah, you could, but you don’t. Ok- *gibbers* It doesn’t matter. Just sit on the bloody cushion. Fine. Qs! And indeed As! Here we go. Uh, ahem, mm, just a disclaimer here, to the patrons. Um. I’m old. Uh, I’m thirty-four. If-if I see a question in the Discord, I-I just ask it. Uh, if it’s in the wrong order or i-if I’ve missed some out. It’s-it’s probably just me not seeing it. So, y’know. Right-o! Uh-Ooo! Off to a flyer here! Milque asks, “Favorite tube line?”

01:29 Sherlock: Victoria.

01:30 Yeah, Victoria. Yeah, yeah. Generally, most Londoners will give that answer. Umm, y’know clean trains, not too many stops, and some big stations on there. Y’know King’s Cross, Euston, Oxford Circus, um Victoria, obviously. Um, some other lines worth mention: Bakerloo brings a certain vibe. B-bit of a sort of kooky, deranged, but pleasant elderly uncle that doesn’t wash kind of vibe. Uh, central line is possibly the most hated, ah, especially during the summer. Um, Piccadilly gets a lot of people headed to Heathrow, so it comes with a lot of baggage. Hah! Literally clambering over suitcases on that one. The Elizabeth line is amazing, but seems to be closed or delayed most of the time. Um, so thanks for listening to TubeCast!

02:20 John: Heh, right. Next question! SaraHawke722 asks, “How do you both know Stamford?” Stamo! The Stamster! I think therefore I Stam. Heh, uh, I-I added those bits. They didn’t say that. Uh, right. Sherlock you go first.

02:36 Sherlock: I met him at St. Bart’s.

02:39 John: That’s uh Saint Bartholemew’s Hospital in London

02:42 Sherlock: I know.

02:43 John: Yes, I know, I’m just telling the listener.

02:45 Sherlock: *pause* Right… I met him at St. Bart’s. There was a study on skin grafting that he was undertaking. I initially made a number of enquiries about the study, he then hired me to work with him on it. Then after that he wanted me on other projects that I didn’t find that interesting, but *with emphasis* he did let me use the lab.

03:03 John: Great, uh ok, um, I met Stamo in Freshes week at University. Um, the University of London. W-which is kind of affiliated with UCL and King’s College London.

03:15 Sherlock: By kind of affiliated, you mean it’s for their underachieving undergrads.

03:19 John: Uh, sorry mate, what University did you go to, exactly? *silence* Yeah, right, thought so. Uh, by the way, um, few of our American listeners have mentioned that you and Victor went to college together. College in the UK is sixteen to eighteen, generally speaking. Um, but, sorry Sherlock, posh lads will sometimes call boarding school a ‘college’. Uhh, I d-I don’t know why. They also call their private boarding schools ‘public schools’. So, yeah, I know. Weird lot. Uh, anyway, yeah, met Stamo at University of London in Freshes week, we both liked football. He’s a Villa fan, Aston Villa that is. We, we kinda were, uh, both out of our depth a little bit with medical degree life, so y’know maybe stuck together. Which. Which was stupid really as you should probably attach yourself to some smartarse, but hey! Y’know! Live and learn! Uh, he started to do well at Uni. Um, he went on to y’know big-big private practice and cosmetic surgery for the most part. And I got shot at for a living, so. Yeah. Listen in school, kids. Listen in school. Uh, WeirdScience asks “Do you believe in ghosts?”

04:32 Sherlock: No. Do you?

04:33 John: Uh, no. No, no. Joff asks “Sorry to be intrusive doctor, but did you suffer any hearing loss during your army days?” Pardon? *wheezing laugh* Ha, uhh no. No, seriously, I did. Um, I burst an ear drum, twice, um, actually, in Afghanistan. I-in my right ear. Uh, thought it was fine, but then after Ukraine when I was getting a full body M.O.T. as it were, there were signs of hearing loss. Um, yeah, but I’ve been lucky I think. I hope it doesn’t get worse as I’ve built my career in audio now. So. Yeah-yeah, but uh a little. A little bit. Um, JellyBaby says, “Dogs or Cats, podboys?”

05:18 Sherlock: I prefer vermin.

05:19 John: Hm. I uh prefer dogs, through and through. Yeah. Um, y’know I like a cat, but they don’t get me. Dogs get me. Ain’t that right, Arch? Heh. Uh, don’t know where he is actually. He’s probably downstairs with Mariana. Catonk asks, “What’s your favorite musical?” We-well it won’t be ‘Cats’! Hahaha! Ahh, Sherlock, your favorite musical?

05:43 Sherlock: What’s the one with the man?

05:46 John: The. The one with the man. Um. Right. You’ve just described the entirety of art and media there.

05:54 Sherlock: He has a piano and he lives in a cave.

05:57 John: Piano in a cave?

05:59 Sherlock: There’s a girl he loves. He-he-he’s got half a face.

06:01 John: Ohh! Phantom of the Opera.

06:04 Sherlock: Yes! I thought that one was okay.

06:07: Great. Yeah, no, it’s a good’un, it’s a good’un. Good answer, I like Phantom. I like Les Mis. I know that’s a boring answer, but some incredible songs in that. Uhhh, yeah. Question via email here from Sartori, “Did you feel bad for Violet Caruthers, because I did.” Um, well yeah, I did. Um. She, uh- I-I-I don’t know how to put it, really-

06:34 Sherlock (interjecting): Had given up control of her life.

06:36 John: Yeah, it was- I don’t know- confidence shot to shit? Th-th-the truest sort of victim I think I’ve ever seen, really. She just, uh, she couldn’t grasp the wheel on her own life. Like Sherlock says. Was that why you were reluctant on that case, Sherlock?

06:55 Sherlock: Very much so. Men had muscled in and filled the gaps she had created from her own insecurity. I didn’t wish to be yet another imposing presence.

07:05 John: But we were.

07:07 Sherlock: We were. And what good did it do?

07:10 John: Saved a bloke’s life?

07:11 Sherlock: Mm, we didn’t pull the trigger but we may as well have. And we set the process in motion.

07:18 John: Welllll… right. Yeah. Okay, didn’t think this q and a session would get so deep. Um. But, yeah, t-that, uh… Welcome to True Crime! *awkward huff laugh* Yeah, we don’t always run off or cycle off into the sunset. Um. Yeah. Uh, okay. Mush-Pit asks, “How many languages do you know?”

07:47 Sherlock: Many.

07:48 John: Great.Uh, why?

07:50 Sherlock: When I was young, I often fooled myself into thinking perhaps it was my grasp of language that was the reason that I didn’t quite fit in. So, I decided to try a number of other languages to see if they worked as a better and more effective means of communication. I wondered whether the nuance and subtle signals of the English language were what was holding me back from social environments. So, I attempted other languages.

08:14 John: Right, and how did that go?

08:15 Sherlock: It’s the same. It would appear it’s nothing to do with language.

08:20 John: Yeah, I’m inclined to agree with you there. I’m rubbish with languages. Ha, it never sticks for some reason. Um, hole in my brain I think. Mariana is also a dab hand at the old languages. She cracked open a bit of Russian the other day. I nearly ducked for cover! * laughs at his own joke* Uh, *clears through* RangerPip asks, “Have you seen any of the fan content Sherlock?”

08:42 Sherlock: Yes, because you keep showing me. And sticking things on the fridge.

08:46 John: Uh, yeah because they’re cool. They’re really good mate! Just-just you wait until I show you the presentation.

08:52 Sherlock: The what?

08:53 John: Nothing. Right question via email from Unbelted, “Does the fingerprint in your logo make an ‘S’ and is that deliberate?” Yes, um is the answer to that. My idea, thanks. Uh, Jones asks, “What’s our spice tolerance?” So, um, right. Okay, yeah. I can go really spicy for Indian. Uh, I can hit the searing temperatures of the Madras and the Vindaloo no problem. Lot of Brits can actually. But I tell you what, Indonesian and Thai spicing I feel. Geez, whew, that is-is a whole different realm of spice. Um…phew. S-sherlock?

09:32 Sherlock: I like the sensation.

09:35 John. Yep, uh. Anything else to add?

09:39 Sherlock: It depends on my emotional connection to the food.

09:42 John: Of course, of course. Well, a-a-as mentioned in Gloria Scott, Sherlock will only eat certain foods if he’s in the right mood. The mood for food, heh. Uh, right-o. Few general questions asking how pancake day went. Uh, yep. No dramas. Went well. Went ‘flipping’ great. Eh? Hehe. Uh, yeah, uh oo! Questions and comments. A lot from North American Podpals, uh, about me describing a woman as ‘tasty’. Um. So, ‘tasty’ is a Carol Watson word. Uh. T-t-the sort she would use for young, handsome men that she flirts with when she can. Um, don’t know what the American equivalent would be? Um? Yeah, you know, what’s a lame word used to describe someone as good looking? Y’know what would an elderly woman use basically…get in touch! Right, another question here. Uh, by the way, when I started this whole question and answer thing, Goalhanger and I thought this would be a great way to field questions about cases. Um. Y’know about the people we meet, about the nature of the crimes we’ve dealt with, uh to fill in possible knowledge gaps, and impart little gems of information that expose the murky nature of crime. Um. Which takes us to this question from Saphhster, “John, what are your thoughts on ranch dressing?” *long pause* I mean, yeah. I like it. I like it, it’s good stuff. Um, Sherlock is nodding. Uh, it’s audio mate. Great. Thanks for your contribution. Uh, Tonky asks, “Does Sherlock have any tattoos?” Apart from my face on his bum. Heh, that’s a joke. That’s a joke, don’t write in. Sherlock, tattoos?

11:26 Sherlock: A spiral on my hip.

11:28 John: What?! Alright, well let’s see! Get it out. *sound of clothes being moved/removed* Oh, well that’s rubbish.

11:34 Sherlock: I know.

11:35 John: Why’d you get that done?

11:36 Sherlock: I-it’s scarring from falling out of bed. I had it filled in because it looked like a spiral.

11:42 John: Okay. Sarah Hawke again with a question, “What is your advice about dealing with a noisy flatmate? Would love both your takes on this lol. I’m at Uni and have a noisy and slightly annoying flatmate. Somehow I’ve agreed to live with them next year as well.” Um, okay Sara Hawke, w-

12:03 Sherlock (cutting John off): Try to tune them out as best you can. Bring in other elements to distract you from their noisiness.

12:09 John (cutting Sherlock off): Sorry, what are you doing?

12:10 Sherlock: Answering wonky-blonk’s question.

12:12 John: It’s not ‘Wonky-Blonk’, it’s Sarah Hawke. Who’s Wonky-Blonk?

12:15 Sherlock: They’re all called that.

12:17 John: Look, I live with a noisy flatmate, alright, it’s clearly directed at me.

12:20 Sherlock: They said both of us.

12:21 John: Yeah, but they added a ‘lol’, okay. That means they recognize the irony of you being asked.

12:26 Sherlock: Why?

12:27 John: Because you initiate a fucking marching band at three am every night.  Ssssake. Uh, yeah, Sarah Hawke, I would say get some earbuds. Play music. Uh, white noise is good. Um, oh, I l-looked into this. You can get quite cool soundproofing panels on Amazon. Um, they don’t look awful and they do kind of work. Sometimes. Uh, yeah, right, anyway. That’s it. Thanks for the ‘Qs’, hope you liked the ‘As’ and we will see you soon. He’s wav-He’s waving. It’s. It’s audio m- For god’s sake-

Gerrit about his time at school, mobbing and his best period in life. From the Q&A he did on Twitch on February 6th 2025.

German original / transcript:

Q: Wie war deine Schulzeit und welcher Abschnitt im Leben war bisher dein bester?

G: Meine Schulzeit war offen und ehrlich gesagt scheisse. Ich habe Schule einfach von Tag eins bis zum letzen Tag mit all den Umwegen die ich genommen habe mit ganz wenigen Ausnahmen überhaupt nicht genossen. Ich habe dieses Konzept einfach nie verstanden und habe es nie gemocht. Ich hatte mich nie sonderlich wohl unter Mitschülern gefühlt, ich hatte auch ganz ganz große Mobbing Probleme irgendwann in der Pubertät, also ich in der Rolle des Mobbingopfers und Lehrer, die das nicht ernst genommen haben. Ich weiß das ist auch immer noch ein Thema heutzutage, offensichtlich wird das nicht richtig in den Griff gekriegt, dass etwas gegen Mobbing unternommen wird, dass Lehrer das ernst nehmen. Vielleicht schon ein bißchen ernster als noch vor 20 Jahren als es bei mir alles der Fall war, aber es war auf jeden Fall damals ganz ganz große Scheisse und ich hatte immer ein bißchen das Problem, und das habe ich auch immer noch, dass ich mich nicht für etwas begeistere oder Leistung in etwas erbringen kann, wofür ich mich nicht wirklich 100% interessiere und ich Bock drauf habe. Und das einzige worauf ich immer Bock hatte war Musik, aber selbst da waren meine Noten grauenhaft schlecht, aber vor allem weil der Musikunterricht relativ wenig mit Musik zu tun hatte zum Teil, das war schon ein bißchen weird.

Aber davon ganz abgesehen, dieses ganze Allgemeinwissen und Algebra und Gedichte interpretieren in Deutsch und was immer, da hatte ich sowas von keinen Bock drauf und musste es aber machen. Und wenn ich etwas machen *muss*, musste und wie gesagt, das gleiche Problem habe ich immer noch: wenn ich etwas machen *muss* bin ich schon mal, nehme ich schon mal so eine Antihaltung ein, unter dem Motto: "Unter diesen Umständen komnen wir nicht ins Geschäft." Das heißt das schlägt sich in der Schulzeit, in der man nun mal Dinge machen muss, gehört nun mal leider dazu, schlägt sich natürlich negativ nieder und dementsprechend habe ich meine Schulzeit nie sonderlich genossen und ich denke mal dass viele meiner Lehrer mich auch nicht sonderlich genossen haben oder nicht verstanden haben, warum bei mir nichts zu holen ist, obwohl ich doch vielleicht nicht der unintelligenteste Mensch bin aber einfach, keine Ahnung, kein sehr leistungsorientierter Mensch bin, das steht nun mal zum krassen Kontrast was Schule darstellt. Das ist natürlich ein Leistungskonzept und unsere Gesellschaft hat ein Leistungskonzept und gerade in der Schulzeit, wie gesagt, war das etwas, vorauf ich überhaupt nicht konnte und was sich in Noten niedergeschlagen hat, sich in meiner Lust zu Schule zu gehen niedergeschlagen hat, die Zeit meines Lebens gering bis gar nicht vorhanden war und bin ich froh das hinter mir zu haben und zum Beispiel mein Studium, mein Tontechnik Studium, was ich vorhin erwähnt hatte an der SAE, dass ich das auch hinter mich gebracht habe, weil auch das ist ja in gewisser Weise eine Schulsituation. Das war natürlich etwas angenehmer als eine allgemeinbildende Schule, aber es war trotzdem eine Lernsituation. Ich habe danach gesagt, ich möchte nie wieder auf irgendeiner Schulbank sitzen, nie wieder in einer Lehrsituation sein, ich habe da keinen Bock mehr drauf. Ich hatte noch nie Bock drauf und ich möchte es auch nie mehr machen. Das heißt also dieses "Ach, vielleicht in meinen Dreissigern noch mal studieren" wenn ich Zeit und Bock habe, warum nicht... bleib mir weg, nee, also...

Also ja, meine Schulzeit: ungeil. Und ich möchte es auch nicht Schullaufbahn nennen, ich möchte es eher Schulhürdenlauf nennen, weil auch gewisse Ehrenrunden, die ich gedreht habe und vom Gymnasium auf die Realschule runtergestuft, weil ich irgendwann einfach gar nichts mehr geschissen gekriegt habe und dann irgendwann, mit einem ganz schön schlechten, fast nicht bestanden Mittlere Reife oder erweiterten Realschulabschluss dann wieder zurück auf die Oberstufe ans Gymnasium und geguckt, naja, vielleicht schaffe ich es ja doch mit dem Abi, habe dann nach der elften dann abgebrochen. Nach der elften war ich eigentlich in der dreizehnten, weil ich zum Zeitpunkt schon zwei Schuljahre wiederholt hatte, ich habe quasi dreizehn Jahre Schule gemacht, obwohl ich nach der elften abgebrochen habe, kein Abi und auch meine mittlere Reife ist unfassbar schlecht, weil ich weder Bock hatte noch mich in Prüfungssituationen wohlgefühlt habe. Prüfungsangst kam dann hinzu und hat mir alles versaut und ja: ist nicht meins, war nie meins und ich bin froh, dass ich das hinter mir habe.

Dementsprechend, daran schließt sich direkt der zweite Teil der Frage an "Welcher Abschnitt im Leben war bisher dein bester". Defintiv alles, was nach der Schule kam. Oder, um es genauer zu sagen, alles was nach dem Studium kam, also alles seitdem, also, ich will jetzt nicht auf die Tränendrüse drücken und nicht alles irgendwie, also ich will nicht sagen, dass ich alles auf diese eine Karte setze, aber alles, seitdem mich Chris damals gefragt hat, ob ich nicht zufälligerweise in seine Band eintreten möchte. Alles, was danach kam und bis heute anhält ist für mich der beste Abschnitt in meinem Leben und das darf auch gerne noch so weitergehen. Alles davor: notwendiges Übel, sagen wir mal so. Und bevor das hier zu traurig und zu düster wird, schaue ich mal, was wir noch für Fragen haben.

English translation:

Q: What was your time at school like and what was your best period in life so far?

G: My time at school was, to be honest, crap. From day one to day one, with all the detours I took, I simply didn't enjoy school at all, with very few exceptions. I just never understood the concept and never liked it. I never felt particularly comfortable with my classmates, I also had major bullying problems at some point during puberty, when I was the victim of bullying and teachers didn't take it seriously. I know that's still an issue today, it's obvious that it's not really being tackled, that something is being done about bullying, that teachers aren't taking it seriously. Maybe a bit more serious than 20 years ago when all of that was the case for me, but it was definitely really, really bad back then and I always had a bit of a problem, and I still have it, that I can't get excited about something or perform well in something that I'm not 100% interested in and don't feel like doing. And the only thing I was always interested in was music, but even then my grades were awful, but mainly because the music lessons had relatively little to do with music, that was a bit weird.

But apart from that, all this general knowledge and algebra and interpreting poems in German and whatever, I just didn't feel like doing it and yet I had to do it. And when I *have to* do something, had to do it, and as I said, I still have the same problem: when I *have to* do something, I take an anti-attitude, under the motto: "We can't do business under these circumstances." That means that it has a negative impact on school time, where you have to do things, unfortunately that's part of it, and of course it has a negative impact and as a result I never particularly enjoyed my time at school and I think that many of my teachers didn't particularly enjoy me either or didn't understand why there was nothing to be gained from me, even though I'm perhaps not the least intelligent person but I'm just, I don't know, not a very achievement-oriented person, which is in stark contrast to what school is all about. That is of course a performance concept and our society has a performance concept and especially during my school days, as I said, that was something I was absolutely not good at and that was reflected in my grades, reflected in my desire to go to school, that time in my life was little to non-existent and I am glad to have that behind me and, for example, my studies, my sound engineering studies, which I mentioned earlier at the SAE, that I have also got that behind me because that is also a school situation in a certain way. It was of course a bit more pleasant than a general education school, but it was still a learning situation. Afterwards I said that I never want to sit on a school bench again, never want to be in a teaching situation again, I don't feel like it anymore. I have never felt like it and I never want to do it again. So that means this "Oh, maybe I'll study again in my thirties" if I have the time and the desire, why not... stay away from me, no, well...

So yes, my school days: not great. And I don't want to call it a school career, I would rather call it a school hurdle race, because I also did certain laps of honour and was downgraded from grammar school to secondary school because at some point I just couldn't get anything done anymore and then at some point, with a really bad, almost failed intermediate school leaving certificate or extended secondary school leaving certificate, I went back to the upper school at grammar school and thought, well, maybe I'll manage to get my A-levels after all, and then I dropped out after the eleventh grade. After the eleventh grade I was actually in the thirteenth because I had already repeated two school years at that point, I basically did thirteen years of school, even though I dropped out after the eleventh grade, no A-levels and my intermediate school leaving certificate is also incredibly bad because I didn't feel like it and didn't feel comfortable in exam situations. Test anxiety then came along and ruined everything for me and yes: it's not my thing, it was never my thing and I'm glad that I've got that behind me.

Accordingly, the second part of the question follows directly on from this: "What period of your life has been your best so far?" Definitely everything that came after school. Or, to be more precise, everything that came after university, so everything since then, well, I don't want to pull the wool over your eyes and not everything, I don't want to say that I'm putting everything on this one card, but everything since Chris asked me if I wanted to join his band. Everything that came after that and continues to this day is the best part of my life for me and I hope it continues like that. Everything before that: a necessary evil, let's put it that way. And before this gets too sad and too dark, I'll see what other questions we have.

[thisbluespirit]

An early 1990s interview with Jeremy Northam, from West Lancashire Evening Gazette (Sat 4th April 1992, p23), about his appearance in Appointment With Fear: House of Glass (an ITV anthology series.)

STRANGE things happen when Gerry Stafford—the last of the line—inherits his grandmother's family mansion.

The ancestral home takes on its own sinister character as soon as Master Gerald and his new American bride Sonia arrive to supervise its sale.

Even loyal house-keeper Mrs Gilbert acts oddly when she leaves Sonia to fend for herself alone on a dark and windy night.

Appointment With Fear: House of Glass (ITV, 8.50pm) is a ghostly chiller starring Lisa Orgolini, Jeremy Northam, Matyelok Gibbs and Mary Wimbush.

Lisa, who plays Sonia, found filming for the half-hour story was "sometimes quite scary."

"Most of our time was spent in a great big old house and I don't like being left on my own in big houses with lots of rooms!" admits Lisa, who is 28.

Fortunately, there was always the film crew there to take my mind off things. I could imagine the house (in Lymington, Hampshire) being very creepy at night. It's just as well that the family who live there have ten children to fill it, but even so..."

Actress Lisa admits that scary films have a spooky effect on her.

She says: "This is an old-fashioned ghost story. I admit I don't normally like to watch this kind of thing at home on my own. It's easier for me to be in one than watch one!

After I saw Hitchcock's 'Psycho' I never took a shower when I was alone in the house for many years."

Ironically in this new TVS film, Lisa actually played a scene in the shower, surrounded by a film crew for company! She says: "I was in a bathing suit and there were people around me spraying mist in the bathroom."

Lisa, who is from Los Angeles, turned down the chance to go to drama school in the States, preferring to come to England and study at drama school in London, where she is now based. Her father is a US film producer.

Lisa's television credits include Tell Me That You Love Me, Parnell and the Englishwoman, Campion, The Thorn Birds, and a leading role in the new series of Perfect Scoundrels from TVS, with Peter Bowles and Bryan Murray.

On stage she played alongside Julie Walters in Peter Hall's The Rose Tattoo with Patricia Hayes and her feature films including Shining Through and The Recruit.

Jeremy Northam (Piece of Cake, Journey's End and Fatal Inversion) plays Gerald, with Matyelok Gibbs (Maigret, The Bill, The Jewel in the Crown) as Mrs Gilbert the house-keeper and Mary Wimbush (Jeeves and Wooster, The Country Boy) as the ghost of Mrs Stafford.

Jeremy, 30, who plays the young heir to the Stafford family's long-established glass-making business, describes the film as "a good yarn."

The self-confessed thriller fan adds: "House of Glass plays upon the conventions of the thriller and the ghost story very well.

"I sometimes think telly takes itself too seriously and short films like this help to stop that happening.

"This is a good, simple story which is ideal for watching on a dark evening!"

Jeremy is the only actor in his family although his father, a retired academic, taught drama, and his mother did some chorus singing for a while.

The youngest of four children, Jeremy's eldest brother Chris is a pianist, brother Tim is a set designer and sister Kate is married with four children.

Jeremy's television career began in the summer of 1987 in 'Wish Me Luck' - he also had a leading role in the second series—and his other TV credits include 'Piece of Cake' and 'Journey's End'.

He spent two years at the National Theatre and in 1989 was winner of the Olivier award for best newcomer. Jeremy trained at the Bristol Old Vic and spent seasons in rep including a spell at Salisbury.

"I suppose I've been thinking about acting seriously since I was about 16. But I can't say it was something that crossed my mind before that.

"I thought it was kind of vanity really. I thought that you would have to think very highly of yourself, and in a way you do, but it's difficult to explain. You have to have a certain confidence."

“Hello, I am Kim Bum, the actor who portrayed Lee Rang or rather, lived as Lee Rang in the drama "The Tale of the Nine Tailed" . I am writing this letter on the last day of filming, December 21, 2022. I want to record and convey the emotions I felt on this day. Today, I said goodbye to Lee Rang. It was even .. more heartbreaking than bidding farewell to an older brother (), or perhaps even more so. It was because I was saying goodbye to a dear friend whom I may never see again. Of course, there may be occasions in the future where I will greet others as Lee Rang, such as at press conferences or other events, but I don't know if this was the last time as Lee Rang in the year 38, "The Tale of the Nine Tailed" Instinctively, I knew. When filming ended during Season 1, there was a vague hope that it wasn't the end, but today. .. Something felt different. It felt like the end.

I, as a person, didn' t hold affection for others as much as I did for Lee Rang. I was someone who naively thought I was hurt and lonely, pushing away anyone who approached me. So,I'm not sure why I was drawn to that friend named Lee Rang from the very beginning. I remember every day since that first day when I approached that friend who pushes away people and carries so much pain. But ever since then, every day I lived as Lee Rang, thanks to that friend, I felt the warmth and preciousness of people, and I never felt lonely for a single moment. That's because of all of you who liked and empathized with my friend Lee Rang, and stood by my side as an important connection since Season 1 of "The Tale of the Nine Tailed". You gave me strength. Thank you so much.Thank you for showing me the warmth of humanity. I also tried my best to give you all fun, excitement, and everything I felt throughout these nearly nine months, or rather, from Season 1 until now, without ever letting go of Lee Rang. I hope it was conveyed well.

Personally, I'm not good at expressing myself, but I will make sure to directly convey these feelings to those I can reach. I was happy. I will continue to be happy, cherishing the memories for a long time come.Watching the show, rewatching it, or even when "The Tale of the Nine Tailed" crosses my mind again, it will bring me happiness. I am grateful to everyone who became a part of Lee Rang's journey. Thank you very much.”

Kim Bum Instagram. June 2023 when the final episodes of Tale Of The Nine Tailed 1938 aired.

TO LOVE SOMEONE LONG-TERM IS TO ATTEND A THOUSAND FUNERALS OF THE PEOPLE THEY USED TO BE.

The people they're too exhausted to be any longer. The people they don't recognise inside themselves anymore. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into. We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out, to become speedily found when they are lost. But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honour what emerges along the way. Sometimes it will be an even more luminescent flame. Sometimes it will be a flicker that disappears and temporarily floods the room with a perfect and necessary darkness.

Sherlock & Co - Mailbag Episode 3 Transcript

00:00 John: Heyyy there, I’m,uh, I’m, uh, back in your ears! Heh. Uh, thanks for inviting me in. Um, I-I just wanted to add a chunk on before this Q and A just to give you an update on all things Gloria Scott. Uh, thanks so much for the kind words, first off. Uh I-I-I did warn about its angst. Um, and I appreciate i-it’s not always a fun ride when, when those kinds of things happen. Um. But hey! I’m glad you all enjoyed it. Um, glad the masterful sound design was appreciated.

00:32 John: Uhm, yeah I thought I’d, I’d check in now and give you a rundown of it all. Post match interview sort of stuff. Uh, Lionel did recover from the stroke. He is out of hospital, but he will be going back to Australia. Um. He’s-he's obviously cooperating with the government, um, down there. It’s not an easy situation, but he’s handling it with remarkable grace and dignity. Um. Victor is, as well. Can’t quite get the read on things with him at the moment. He’s obviously very, very torn. Uh, we solved the case for him, but, y’know, yeah. H-he’s in a much worse place then he was before. Um. *pause* Such is life. Uh, such is a very complicated life, I should say. He’s helping his dad, with the inquiries. Uh, m-my gut says there’ll be prison time. *sucks teeth* Um, y’know, c-cooperation and evidence and the, yeah, t-the mitigating circumstances might be helpful to Lionel and all, but, uh… *deep breath* ultimately lives were lost. He was complicit. Y’know this is the world we live in.

01:49 John: *sucks teeth* Victor has paused the job search, but uh I-I do believe he’ll be coming back to the UK once, y’know, whatever happens, happens. But, uh, yeah. Tough stuff. Um, glad you all enjoyed Mariana joining in on the adventure. Um, don’t know if she enjoyed it all that much. So far she’s watched corpses get pulled out of the canal and now she’s watched an elderly stroke victim get extradited for murder. So, uh, y’know. *chuckles lightly* Welcome to the world of true crime, Ametxazurra!

02:23 John:Um, Sherlock asked me to apologize, also, actually. Um, yes, to apologize that he wasn’t technically correct in his solving of the case. Um, uh, Hunter did reveal the actual truth. I, I told him people wouldn’t really mind. He got me to apologize anyway, so, uh, yeah. There you go. Um, so he’s been a right mopey bastard, as you can imagine. *clears throat* So, to cheer him up, I carted him off to…an indoor theme park! Heh, yeah, you heard that right. Theme park. But indoors. Well, theme park’s a bit strong to be honest. I-I-It’s like an arcade with an indoor roller coaster. But yeah! Y’know! Uhm, back to Camden, but for a much more enjoyable experience.

03:05 John: These questions were asked, um, before The Gloria Scott episode aired. T-two that I ask Sherlock right at the end are eerily prescient. Um, that’s the right word, I think? Uh, I hope. Welp, you’ll see what I mean. Enjoy!

03:19-3:49 *Intro Music*

03:47 *Arcade Sounds Fade In, we can hear Sherlock exerting himself*

03:50 John: Yoooo, wassup guys! Welcome to the John Watson channel where we talk all things John Watson all the time! Ehh, that’s my impression of a youtuber or real podcaster, hope you enjoyed it. Ah, right, Sherlock, tell the members where we are.

04:01 Sherlock: Indoor theme park! Augh! *through gritted teeth* You little alien bastard! Get back here!

04:09 John: Sherlock is doing some whack-a-mole, ah, or they’re aliens in this place, not moles. Could be alien moles. Who knows. Ah, it’s an indoor theme park in *in a very exaggerated North London accent (genuinely he sounds like an ass here)* North London. That’s North London, sorry. Bit excited. Had about a kilogram of sugar. Haha, I’m looking at all sorts here. Arcade machines, carousels, basketball hoop game thingy, air hockey, bumper cars -dodge’ems, call’em what you will-, and an indoor roller coaster! Hahahaa! It’s wild stuff. Okay, let’s get to some questions over a casual game of air hockey.

04:40 *Audio Cut, sounds of air hockey being played*

04:41 Sherlock: Have that! *puck hit sound* And that!

04:44 John: ‘Have that and that’? What are you, a musketeer? Hahahaaaa! *sound of a puck entering the goal* First point Watson! Heyheyheeeey, ahhhh. And now for the first question. Uh, Tonkster aka Resetoaster asks, “To John and Sherlock, if you go to Subway -the fast food I should clarify- what do you usually order?”

05:03 Sherlock: *with exertion* You’re *sound of the puck being hit* distracting me! Ah!

05:06 John: Ah, you wouldn’t be saying that if you were winning.

05:07 Sherlock: I’m not winning *puck hit sound* precisely because of it.

05:11 John: Alright, fine. I’ll answer. Uh, I like the turkey club. Is that-Ow! That hit my finger. *hisses in pain*- I think there’s a turkey one. Um, I like that one on plain-ish bread. I don’t think their fancy breads are all that good. Uh, and then I’ll have a southwest sauce- Wham! Haha! *sound of puck entering goal*

05:23 Sherlock: Oh, bugger.

05:26 John: Subway order?

05:26 Sherlock: Never been.

05:27 John: Great.

05:27 *audio cuts. Sounds of automatic rifle fire going off*

05:29 John: Reloading. Cover me!

05:29 Sherlock: Covering.

05:30 John: Incoming at your two o’clock.

05:31 Sherlock: On it!

05:32 *sounds of two loud gunshots*

05:33 John: Yesss, Sherlock. Right, through the lobby. Okay, let’s see how this goes. Bellaxbear01 asks “If you guys want another pet, what animal would it be? Another dog, another cat, or maybe a fish?”

05:47 Sherlock: I like fish. *sound of gunshots* Very much. Reloading.

05:50 John: *pleased* Oh, hahah! I like fish too!

05:52 Sherlock: Really?

05:53 John: Yeah! Tropical?

05:54 Sherlock: Tropical or temperate.

05:56 John: Well that’s good to know. Yeah, worth maybe one day looking into that? Oo! Getting shot at here. Uh, Amelie5 asks “Do you have a favorite case you’ve solved so far?

06:05 *sounds of a big gun being fired*

06:07 Sherlock: A good question at bloody last. Die you bastards! *big boom*

06:12 John: Oh wowhaowhaooow! *sounds of I guess dirt falling, maybe bodies???* *with a smile in his voice* Oh, you made him blow up! Ha! Ahh, I know the feeling. Poor sod.

06:18 Sherlock: I rather enjoyed the Red Headed League.

06:22 John: Yep, that was a good’un. -Oh, duck down! That’s a machine gun.- Did you like the Red Headed League because of the case or because it proved me wrong about it being boring?

06:27 Sherlock: Mmm, both.

06:28 John: Great, well-oh I’m dead. *sound of man yelling, presumably John’s character dying in the game* Balls.

06:31 *audio cut. Ambient arcade sounds with something fizzing at the forefront*

06:34 John: What is that?

06:35 Sherlock: *struggling to speak* opp ing andy.

06:37 John: Opping Andy?

06:38 Sherlock: *still struggling to speak, but clearly annoyed* Op-opping. Andy.

06:41 John: Ohhhh, popping candy. Right. Well, RangerPip asks any specific reason you started smoking a pipe?

06:49 Sherlock: *unintellible gargling and consonant sounds*

06:54 John: Right, well, if you understood that RangerPip, well done you, haheh. *pause* *in a considering tone* Hunnh. He may or may not be choking.

07:03 *audio cut, loud music and bumper car sounds*

07:04 John: Ah!

07:04 Sherlock: Ahahaha!

07:05 John: Hahahah, left! Left! Left!

07:08 Both: Ah! *sound of impact*

07:09 John: Oh my god, my ribs! Argh, right! Let’s get up some more speed and smash into these kids-uh, I mean! These, um, big burly blokes.

07:17 Sherlock: Here we go.

07:20 John: Yesss, Sherlock, we are at some speed now, baby! Hahahah, right! Question from Raylein, “Does Archie get human food? And if he does, who feeds it to him?”

07:30 John: Ah yeah I do feed him, I-

07:30 Sherlock: Yes.

07:33 John: Wait.

07:34 Sherlock: What?

07:35 John: You’re feeding him as well?

07:36 Sherlock: I am, yes!

07:38 John: Well, that explains a lot. Uh, yeah Raylein, I don’t really like animal products going to waste so I just, um, I chuck him all sorts. Ope, here we go. Come here you little shits.

07:44 Sherlock: Ahhhhhhhh!

07:45 John: *sound of impact* Ah hahah!

07:48 *audio cut, it’s much quieter now, but they’re still at the arcade*

07:49 John: *remorsefully* I just didn’t think they’d cry and tell their mums is all.

07:51 Sherlock: That’s what children do. *accusingly* You told me to smash into them.

07:55 John: I did not say that.

07:57 Sherlock: Can I get the SD card out of your microphone and check?

08:00 John: No.

08:01 Sherlock: See.

08:02 John: Andrew says, “Question for Sherlock: Do you have any piercings? And, if you don’t, do you want any? And, if you do, which ones do you want?”

08:10 Sherlock: *sucks in a deep breath* Ear piercing. I haven’t used it for some time.

08:14 John: Why not?

08:15 Sherlock: Was that asked in the Discord?

08:17 John: What?

08:18 Sherlock: That. Just then.  The ‘Why not?’

08:21 John: …No.

08:22 Sherlock: *takes a breath* Well then. I needn’t answer it. This is a time for members.

08:26 John: Right. Great. Lovely. Ok, MushPit says “Your deductive skills, was it talent you were born with or a skill that you developed and perfected over time?”

08:34 Sherlock: I assume MushPit is asking me, not you?

08:37 John: Ah ha ha, very funny.

08:40 Sherlock: My senses have always been, um-

08:43 John: Overcalibrated?

08:44 Sherlock: Yes, quite. Sooo, I’ve always observed a lot. When I found it difficult to tune out of my surroundings, I decided to analyze them. Then it became rather addictive. Yes, it became a skill, but I feel it much stronger then a skill. It feels like a byproduct of my very existence. I cannot unlearn it. IIII cannot wind it down or soften it. It occupies me as much as I do it. I fear that I  cannot stop it. Even if it kills me. Even if it drains everything from me and I can never truly find it to know myself, to know my surroundings without the necessity…uh, no, the-the requisite to my very self. To t-try to understand everything-

09:33 John: The rollercoaster’s ready.

09:34 Sherlock: Oh.

09:35 John: Uh, we- we can finish if you want? Uh, y’know we can go on it later?

09:40 *audio cut, we can hear the roller coaster going and John and Sherlock on it. John keeps saying ‘Woohoo! Wheee!’ and Sherlock is saying joyfully ‘Bloody fantastic! Absolutely bloody fantastic!’ Both of them also keep laughing in between their exclamations*

09:48 *audio cut. We’re outside. London traffic can be heard.*

09:53 John: Oh that was good! Wasn’t it?

09:54 Sherlock: *pleased* Superb.

09:56 John: Not a bad idea, is it? A theme park, indoors? I mean we were a little old for it, but hey, y’know, there’s no age limit on enjoyment! Well, I mean you can’t go jumping into a soft play or anything like that, but yeah. Yeah. Now we are walking near Chalk Farm. Not actually a farm of chalk, of course. It’s just a nice place between Bellsides Park and the Northern end of Camden town. How’s that q and a session for you, mate?

10:16 Sherlock: Is that question on the Discord?

10:17 John: Right, ok. This is not a thing. You can still have normal chats with me inbetween members questions.

10:25 Sherlock: Noted.

10:26 John: Well it’s a question for me now anyway. Um, has your mother finally listened to the podcast? And if yes, what does she think of it? Uh, yes, has she listened? She has! She didn’t like the sound of my bomb. That makes two of us, there. Eheh. Uh, and she sent me further messages about Mariana. And! She will occasionally point out when I’ve been rude to people on the show. *clicks tongue* She also asked me if the Austrian man’s face was okay, so she has at least, definitely finished one adventure. And, no. His face is not. Ok. Mum. Uhh, so- hunh, this is weird.

10:59 Sherlock: What’s that?

11:01 John: Two questions here, next to each other. Uh, I-I’m not making this up. First one, Ramt or-or Ramtonk, “t-the flowers on my orchids are gone, but the plants themselves are thriving. Uhh, they’re watered as they should be and get optimal sunlight. Will the flowers ever come back?”

11:19 Sherlock: *pleasantly surprised* Hhha!

11:20 John: Right? Yeah and the second one from Batonks the Graveyard Ghost says, “Question for John, do you have any funny memories from your childhood that you’d like to share with us?”

11:30 Sherlock: Yes, that is quite remarkable.

11:32 John: Well! I’ll let the adventure of The Gloria Scott answer those questions! So, ah, everybody, thanks so much for these. I hope you enjoyed the answers. Sorry it’s been so short, but I’ve just noticed that that’s our bus!! We’re gonna miss it! Go! Go! Go!

11:46 Sherlock: *frustrated sigh* For goodness sake!

11:47-12:17 *Outro Music Plays*

Our fates are sealed. But I think we have one move left.

We can try.

screenshot of a reddit comment by lonelady75.

This reminds me of grade 4 when we had a boy in our class who had an intellectual disability (except this was in the mid 80s, so you know, we used another word for that). His name was David and he loved atlases, and would happily sit and look at an atlas for hours, and if you went and talked to him, he would point to things on the atlas and tell you what they were.

No one in our class made fun of him, and if anyone from another class tried to, we would all come to his defense.

On his birthday, without coordinating anything (cause, you know, we were 9), almost all of the kids independently bought him an atlas. I remember being so excited and begging my mom for money to buy him one, thinking I would be the only one. Cause usually, no one gave anyone gifts at school on their birthday. But then his birthday came and almost all of us came in with gifts in our bags. (And most of the kids who didn't that day went home and bought him one so he kept getting atlases for about 3 days).

At first I was kind of disappointed that my gift wouldn't be special, but then as David opened each gift up he got more and more excited so I stopped being disappointed and just remember the joy. Every gift, he had this massive grin on his face, and then would hold it up over his head and excitedly announce that it was an atlas.
