Will have to get them at some point since I enjoyed much of the first book. Gatiss knows his stuff.

Dec 20 08 11:02 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Here's a link to an interview with Mark Gatiss discussing his and Moffat's approach to their modern-day Sherlock Holmes project: Horror Reanimated Gatiss Interview Part 3 This sounds right on the money to me!

I'm looking forward to settling in with Crooked House, probably on Boxing Day.

On the subject of Hyde, I couldn't stand Nesbitt untill he did that show, then I thought he was cool, he did such a great job and the show was well written and cast I might add. Fu Manchu

Feb 10 09 5:11 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I read the interview, No! still not sold on th Idea of a modern day Holmes, I mean it will be CSI with more action I suppose, but the fact is the thing that made Holmes what it is, IS where and WHEN it was set, there are no phones, TV Cars Aircraft, NO COMPUTERS etc etc that's why the crimes where so difficult to solve, and HE WAS THE FIRST TO DO THIS! If Holmes had these things available then the crime would be solved in minutes leaving nothing for Holmes to do! exept play his violin, shoot up 7 percent solution, what will he do now Play a bloody video game? Whats more I have seen the actor touted to play Holmes I don't like him, (he will probably do him with a cockney accent which might work for Doctor Who but will not work for Holmes) If they want to do Holmes with more action just do the old Holmes new stories with more adventure sword duels gun fights, Baritsu fights! Hansom cab chases more spooks, and even the odd monster with a scooby doo explanation at the end (it couldn't be any more unbeleivable than the Hound!) but not this awful idea Fu Manchu

Feb 10 09 9:45 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	As it happens, I caught Benedict Cumberbatch in the new 'Marple: Murder Is Easy' last week. While he appears to lack the edginess I associate with the character, Cumberbatch seems like a reasonably good choice for a youthful Holmes to me.

Holmes is of preening Victoria's London; Marlowe, from corrupt Mid-20th Century Los Angeles; Commander Bond, in post WWII "Atlantia." You CAN take the jewel out of its setting; but it's much more beautiful in it. -Craig

Sep 8 09 8:29 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Interesting BBC Radio discussion about Sherlock Holmes that features new BBC series SHERLOCK producer/writer, and current Doctor Who show runner, Steven Moffat. Available via the BBC Listen Again service for the next 6 days. The discussion, which is fairly brief, is punctuated with some nice readings by actor David Warner. Moffat clearly knows his Sherlock Holmes and makes some very reassuring pronouncements about the character. Wilson comes off as a bit of a twat. Well worth a listen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mly92 Cheers, Charles Prepolec Gaslight Grimoire Blog: News, Interviews and Updates Sherlock Holmes News: Sherlock Holmes in Films, Books and Media

Feb 22 10 6:02 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Excerpted from a Press Release I received today: "MASTERPIECE AND BBC WORLDWIDE ANNOUNCE DRAMA CO-PRODUCTIONS, INCLUDING NEW UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS Brighton, England--February 22, 2010 The thrilling new Sherlock series is a fast-paced, witty take on the legendary crime drama, now set in present day London and starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Atonement, The Last Enemy) as the eponymous detective. Martin Freeman (The Office UK, Hot Fuzz) plays his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson, and Rupert Graves (God on Trial, The Forsyte Saga) is Inspector Lestrade. Co-created by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Coupling, Jekyll) and Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen, Crooked House), the iconic details from Arthur Conan Doyle's original books remain: same address, same names--and somewhere out there, Moriarty is waiting."
