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]

Do you know where to stream sherlock holmes movies? (Not youtube)

I know there is a master list somewhere but cannot find it 😭

Just to preface this, I think the master list you might be thinking of is The Giant List of Sherlock Holmes Adaptations by @beekeaper- it has links for tons of adaptations, although a lot of them are on YouTube so that may not work for you.

It depends on which movies you want to watch, but Internet Archive has a lot of Holmes movies for free:

Rathbone Holmes movies

Granada Holmes

The Seven Percent Solution

Howard Holmes

Wilmer Holmes

The Great Mouse Detective

Sherlock Hound

Internet Archive also has some amazing Sherlock Holmes radio dramas, including:

Rathbone Radio

Conway Radio (continuation of Rathbone with a new actor for Holmes)

Bert Coules/Clive Merrisson Radio

The Unopened Casebook of Sherlock Holmes

Outside of Internet Archive for Holmes movies/series, Amazon has The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes available for free with ads.

Tubi and PlutoTV also have a lot of Holmes movies for free with ads, including:

Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century

Sherlock Holmes 2010 (The one with the dinosaurs)

Incident at Victoria Falls

Sherlock Bones: Undercover Dog

Sherlock Gnomes

+ a bunch more that I've already listed elsewhere and a few made-for-TV movies no one's ever heard of that weren't funny enough to make the list.

I also highly recommend checking out @spiritcc's blog for a comprehensive list of where to watch various Russian Sherlock Holmes movies/series with English subtitles! This is by no means a comprehensive list because there's always more Holmes adaptations out there, but if you want to watch some of the best Holmes performances (or some of the really silly ones) for free, this list is a good place to start! If anyone knows where to stream other Holmes-related media for free, feel free to reblog and add to the list!

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)

[mostlyanything19]

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.

[beekeeperspicnic]

Did you know that there's a Sherlock Holmes musical in which Moriarty's daughter is Holmes' love interest?

Ever since I found it I've wanted to do an 'Ember Island Players' and find a way for Holmes and Watson to react to it.

Music from Sherlock Holmes: The Musical, Audio from "The Lion's Mane" from Bert Coules BBC Radio Sherlock Holmes series

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.

[fangirlsovertoomanythings]

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?

[spocksfurby]

bert coules' radio holmes save me. radio holmes. save me bert coules' radio holmes.

[spifflocated]

UK based Sherlock Holmes fans! I just listened to this on BBC sounds and it’s a very fun pastiche. Robert Bathurst makes an excellent audio Holmes, and I particularly enjoyed his German philosophy based existential crisis (and Watson’s response).

There are 18 days left to listen if you fancy hearing Holmes and Watson embroiled in a private case which escalates wildly when the manuscript for Das Kapital is stolen.

(Obvious warnings for discussions of revolutionary politics and drug use, as well as standard Holmesian murder and some discussion of (illegal) deportation.)

[inkonice-main]

It took long, but here are some of my favorite extracts from Bert Coules' adaptation of The Reigate Squires. I haven't quite found an adaptation of this one which completely satisfies me but you can seldomnly go wrong with Coules!

[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

[blistering-typhoons]

forever shaking radio holmes and watson by their shoulders like ffs SPEAK TO EACHOTHER-

[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
