SHERLOCKHOLMES|OTR

Tom Conway as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as his confidant and partner in crime investigation... Dr. Watson.  This series ran in 1946 for only 39 episodes as American audiences had tired of nearly 20 years of Sherlock Holmes stories, films, and over 200 episodes on radio starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes.  He basically tired of being typecast as Holmes and left the series.  Tom Conway sounded very much like Rathbone and hence got the job.  "Black Angus" from Oct. 19. 1946.

"a field for those peculiar qualities which my friend possessed" [FIVE]

Curtis Armstrong, BSI ("An Actor, and a Rare One") is known by many names. Miles Dalby, Charles De Mar, Herbert Viola, Scooter, Metatron, and of course, Booger. But around these parts, he is known as a keen Sherlockian who has been part of our little corner of the universe since his grade school days. His memoir Revenge of the Nerd: Or...the Singular Adventures of the Man Who Would Be Booger tells a series of tales that will be of interest to those who only know him through his remarkable career in show business. But we wanted to get behind all of that and delve into the intersection with his many other interests, such as Sherlock Holmes and P.G. Wodehouse, among others. From Detroit to Geneva and back again, from the stage to the big screen and small screen, we explore the intricacies of nerd culture — particularly when it comes to the Victorian misfit Sherlock Holmes. Early influences of Curtis still have an impact today, and he leaves us with lessons that should have every Sherlockian embracing their inner nerd.

Episode 125: Revenge of the Sherlockian Nerd

On Feb. 6, 2010 a group of local volunteer actors including: Jason Daniel Roberts, James C. Darling, Diane Ficarra, Jean Proulx, and Bruce Allen came together to re-create the Sherlock Holmes radio show entitled, "The Adventure of the Tolling Bell"  The program was directed and edited by John Lovering and was recorded in a home studio to be later broadcast on his Audio Theatre program that aired on Portsmouth Community Radio for 13 years from 2004-16.

New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Re-Creation - Adventure of the Tolling Bell - Feb 6, 2010

"Beacons of the future!" [NAVA]&nbsp; Sherlock Holmes appreciated education. He admired the "[c]apsules with hundreds of bright little seeds in each" as he and Watson passed by the board-schools on the way out to Briarbrae in "The Naval Treaty." And he famously said, "Education never ends. It is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last," in "The Red Circle." &nbsp; So it is entirely appropriate the The Beacon Society, the Sherlockian group that recognizes and supports exemplary efforts of bringing Sherlock Holmes to children, would create a new branch especially for children. It is the Junior Sherlockian Society, and it is headed up by Shannon Carlisle, a previous winner of the Beacon Award. &nbsp; Through her efforts with her own classes of fourth graders, Shannon has ingeniously introduced them to Sherlock Holmes, and now it is codified so that children across the world can take part in Junior Sherlockian Training. She joined us to tell us all about the program was developed and how kids can get involved. &nbsp; Is your child, grandchild, or student even remotely interested in Sherlock Holmes? Or maybe they're struggling with reading or some other skill. Then the Junior Sherlockian Society is just what they need. The game's afoot!  And please consider becoming a&nbsp;Patron of the Arts.

Episode 134: The Junior Sherlockian Society

Adding another episode of The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes to Heirloom Radio.  Tom Conway replaced Basil Rathbone as Holmes, but Nigel Bruce remained in this new series as Dr. Watson.  Interestingly enough, Tom Conway sounded very much like Rathbone.  Rathbone quit the series as he had done so many movies and radio shows as Sherlock, he simply tired of doing the character.  The stories are still interesting today... so see if you can solve the crime before Holmes and Watson do!

“at this conference” [MAZA]&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Steven Doyle, BSI ("Western Morning News") is many things, among them half of the publishing team at Wessex Press and the&nbsp;Baker Street Journal. But more importantly for our topic on this episode, he's one of the sparking plugs behind&nbsp;From Gillette to Brett V.&nbsp; &nbsp; We haven't been able to make it to the previous four installments, so we asked Steve all about this conference dedicated to Sherlock Holmes of the stage, screen and radio. He shared the foggy origins of the show, along with some of his favorite moments from throughout the years, and even a special preview of the exhibit that will be on display there.&nbsp; &nbsp; And don't forget to try your hand at the latest&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;and win a prize –&nbsp;now you don't need to be a&nbsp;Patron of the Arts&nbsp;–&nbsp;every&nbsp;listener is eligible to participate!&nbsp; &nbsp;   Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.&nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;   Please do consider becoming a&nbsp;Patron of the Arts.

Episode 145: From Gillette to Brett

"no ordinary merit" [REDH]&nbsp; In 2014, the Sherlockian world was taken by complete and utter surprise when William Gillette's 1916 film&nbsp;Sherlock Holmes&nbsp;was discovered. It was the closest thing we'd ever have to seeing Gillette on stage, and Russell Merritt, BSI ("The Trepoff Murder") was part of the team that restored it. &nbsp; We carried the news on our site, but now we're pleased to share the backstory of how it came to be, thanks to an interview with Russell Merritt, a University of California Berkeley film professor and an expert on silent films. In this episode, Russell also discusses the impact of Eille Norwood and the whereabouts of his 45 movies, the recently rediscovered 1929 German film Der Hund von Baskerville, and how he is likely the last person to first read&nbsp;A Study in Scarlet&nbsp;in an original Beeton's. &nbsp; And don't forget to try your hand at the latest&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;and win a prize – you don't need to be a&nbsp;Patron of the Arts&nbsp;–&nbsp;now&nbsp;every&nbsp;listener is eligible to participate!

Episode 147: Sherlock Holmes and Silent Films

“a most united couple" [DANC]&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Another episode in our Florin Society series, this time with Roger Johnson, BSI ("The Pall Mall Gazette") and Jean Upton ("Elsie Cubitt"). The Florin Society of course refers to spouses who each have received an investiture from the Baker Street Irregulars. &nbsp; Roger's and Jean's story was a fun one to explore, not the least of which was because they're deeply involved in the Sherlock Holmes Society of London. During our conversation, they shared some of the early history of the Society and its members and the secret behind how they're able to regularly access the legendary 221B Baker Street sitting room at the Sherlock Holmes Pub. &nbsp; Plus, we learn that Roger got an intro to the world of Sherlock Holmes in a Pontine manner, Jean grew up in a house once inhabited by a legendary Baker Street Irregular, and had her photos used as official documentation of the Granada set. It's a love story and a story of mutual affection for Sherlock Holmes&nbsp;— something we can all appreciate. &nbsp; And don't forget to try your hand at the latest&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;and win a prize – you don't need to be a&nbsp;Patron of the Arts&nbsp;–&nbsp;now&nbsp;every&nbsp;listener is eligible to participate!

Episode 148: Roger Johnson and Jean Upton

“requisitioned for the defense” [VALL]

Conan Doyle's real-life turn as Sherlock Holmes has typically been shared through the George Edalji case. But there was another case involving one Oscar Slater that has been more of a footnote than a feature. 

Author Margalit Fox set out to change that.  In Conan Doyle for the Defense: The True Story of a Sensational British Murder, a Quest for Justice, and the World's Most Famous Detective Writer, she has crafted a fascinating true-crime narrative thanks to her career as an explanatory writer (most notably as a senior writer for The New York Times). 

Our conversation with Ms. Fox ranges from the origin of her fascination with this story, to the societal prejudices and corruption that weighed on the victim and verdict, to Conan Doyle's own revulsion with the actions of the innocent man, and takes us from the streets of Glasgow to the barren north shore of Scotland, home of a gulag-like prison that held an innocent man for 18 years. 

It's a fascinating and tragic story that fully exposes the chinks in Sir Arthur's armor, the true nature of an accused criminal, and the elements that still stick with society today.

Episode 149: Conan Doyle for the Defense

“"Excellent!" I cried. "Elementary," said he.” [CROO]&nbsp; &nbsp; We'll be honest. The CBS drama series&nbsp;Elementary, starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu doesn't get enough attention here on I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. &nbsp; It's largely because Scott and Burt haven't carved out the time to watch it. As a weekly series, there's much more to absorb than the three-episode series that the BBC produced every few years. &nbsp; Fortunately, James O'Leary, a regular contributor on the IHOSE site, has made it his business to watch, follow, and dissect Elementary on behalf of all Sherlockians. And we welcome him to the show to talk about its strengths, its longevity, and how the writers are doing a wonderful job of engaging Sherlock Holmes fans along the way. &nbsp; Please try your hand at the latest&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;and try to win a prize – you don't need to be a&nbsp;Patron of the Arts&nbsp;–&nbsp;every&nbsp;listener is eligible to participate!

The Sealed Room

"It is always awkward doing business with an alias." [BLUE] &nbsp; Back in Episode 96, we chatted about the many disguises and other identities of Sherlock Holmes. But what about other people in the Canon who played dress-up? Whether they were trying to dupe one of his clients or Sherlock Holmes himself, these individuals each had good reasons to be incognito. It's just a trifle. &nbsp; &nbsp;
