Aside from that, I’ve been watching Granada reruns while semi-convalescing and watching several episodes of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in quick succession really has highlighted that David Burke’s Watson really was much louder and proactive than Edward Hardwicke’s version.

I also need to get myself a complete copy of the stores with the Sidney Paget illustrations since I’m not convinced that I actually have all of them, though in the meantime while watching the TV adaptation I probably ought to stop eyeing the set critically and noting that the Royal Academy of Music should be just out of shot during a wide pan during the opening.
In other news, I suspect that I’m beginning to go off standard Café Crèmes which is a curious thing to have happen.
