Drawings of mine that make you turn up the brightness of ones screen.

Anyway. I uh. Listened to Radio Holmes Hounds of the Baskervilles again and what can I say. 20/20. What a way to portray the ending.

[ID: a digital drawing of a scene from The Hound of the Baskervilles. Holmes and Watson are standing close to each other on the moor, Watson is holding Holmes by the shoulders while Holmes, one hand on Watsons arm looks after Stapleton who's a tiny dot of light in the distance. Holmes trouser legs and the rim of his coat are coated in dirt. A lantern on Watsons arm is eliminating the two. /End ID]

It has long been a dream of mine to make a compilation of the hysterical stylings of Clive Merrison as Sherlock Holmes. History relates that the BBC actually received letters of complaint regarding this Laugh-with-a-capital-L, and such outbursts of amusement were tragically kept to a minimum after the first series.

The first short interview clip is from ep. 202 of the I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere podcast. The following, in airdate order, are from BBC Radio 4's Sherlock Holmes (1989-98) dramatised mainly by Bert Coules, with the exception of the final clip from the last episode of the extracanonical Further Adventures, which aired in 2010.

so i’m re-listening to the sherlock holmes radio drama from the beginning and i forgot abt that time watson explains that he noticed there’s two completely different sides to holmes personality and how he just read about that in a medical journal like. he’s trying so hard to diagnose this man. watson’s like it’s almost like his personality is… bipolar? ugh nvm that sounds stupid

The Devil's Foot: Granada/Radio Holmes Edit

(bonus, under the influence of the devil's foot itself, in the radio adaptation, holmes and watson quote this simultaneously)

[vetchtibbles]

holmes: a man’s house can be remarkably informative

[scene cut]

watson: that’s not a house, that’s a fortress!

holmes: informative :D

do you still have the radio Sherlock Holmes? 🥺

Hello, I am so happy you ask, yes I do! Here they are:

Included are the 60 short stories originally written by Arthur Conan Doyle and adapted for Radio by the BBC, with Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson (in 64 episodes, bc the longer stories are split up into parts), and the 16 Further Adventures, this time with Andrew Sachs taking the role of Watson.

I hope you enjoy them, they're really well done and to this day rank among my favorite Holmes adaptations ever. Also, this is the only adaptation in history so far that has managed to do all 60 original ACD cases!

the radio holmes writer(s) could’ve stopped after the one-sided pining but they rlly went yea lifelong comphet watson, holmes gets very guilty over clients he’s failed and also has a fear of losing his mind. and for that I’m eternally grateful.

Leaving tomorrow for a quick trip to England, starting in London. Downloaded all the BBC4 SH radio dramas to pass the time, and I am STOKED about it. Like greeting old friends I haven't seen in a decade or more.

Wish me (and my writing muse) luck!

I'm listening to the Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Abergavenny Murder is such a cute episode ;_; it's so domestic, takes place completely in 221b and features Holmes and Watson being adorable and teasing and praising each other. Peak story 11/10 will listen again.

Oh and I think I know you like him but Sherlock Holmes ? Your fav interpretation/version of course

(unrelated, when i get them back, i should show you a very cool french comic about Sherlock Holmes i found back then...)

You gave me the liberty, so I hope you know I was thinking about Clive Merrison's Sherlock Holmes. I love him in the books too it's just that Clive Merrison's is trapped in an unrequitted love situationship with Michael Williams' Dr. Watson and I swear it's almost canonical, I could go on for hours as to why that is

A FRENCH COMIC ABOUT SHERLOCK HOLMES?

[snaitf]

yesssss it's fantastic! Also featuring: the King being more transparently shitty than in the book, to the point where after he leaves Watson goes "you're not SERIOUSLY taking this guy's side in this, are you??"

Holmes only agrees to rob Adler because "a man who is willing to burgle a woman thrice will not stop at smaller crimes." Truly the SCAN adaptation of all time.

watson: sherlock holmes was not attracted to women and the only time he ever came remotely close was with irene adler. incidentally, and this is completely unrelated, irene adler crossdresses frequently and extremely well. anyway i forgot what i was saying

[agoddamneddelight]

to all the people reading the devils foot for the first time bc of letters from watson and losing it over the tenderness between holmes and watson when watson saves him, believe me when i say you GOTTA listen to the bert coules radio adaption of the story. the homoerotic tension is THROUGH THE ROOF
