The World Cup draw is the biggest "could have been an email" event in the world.

December always makes me think of Holmes stories — firesides, fog, and mysteries best solved before the new year begins.
If you’re in the mood for something suitably atmospheric, my novella Footsteps on the Moor might fit the season.

Back in October we worked with ChewBoy Productions to film performances of The Hunt for Moriarty. And here are a few screenshots! The edit continues with a release date set to be announced for 2026. #sherlockholmes #thehuntformoriarty

Science As Mood in the Canon When we picture Sherlock Holmes’s London, we do not imagine the bright, even glow of modern streetlamps.

Holmes’s London glows with gaslight and early electric light. That contrast matters more than you think.

A spread from The Annotated Sherlock Holmes with a reproduction of one of Sidney Paget’s illustrations for the story.

Watching *and* reading ‘The Solitary Cyclist’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It strikes me that this has something of the feel of a ghost story – perhaps partly because the Granada adaptation has something of Lawrence Gordon Clark about it.

The manuscript for Sherlock Holmes and Operation Hecate is nearly ready for submission. It’s that strange moment between excitement and uncertainty — but Holmes himself would say: “The game is afoot.”

Image is a screenshot of a Sky News article in which British actor Eddie Marsan is discussing difficulties for working-class actors getting on in the TV and film industry. It reads: Eddie Marsan, star of major blockbusters such as the Sherlock Holmes films and Misdion Impossible III, as well as TV series Ray Donovan, and Supacell, said there’s one thing he’s come to notice is how few of his cast mates tend to share his working-class roots. “If you want to become an actor in this country, and you come from a disadvantaged background, you have to be exceptional to have a hope of a career,” he says. “If you come from a privileged background you can be mediocre.”

Actor Eddie Marsan makes brilliant points in relation to ‘posh’ actors being promoted over actors from working-class and more diverse backgrounds. Likewise, it doesn’t help when w/c & diverse screenwriters aren’t having their ‘voices’ heard on screen. news.sky.com/story/posh-b...

All the Sherlock games seem to suffer from the dreadful need by the developers to either include combat or awful puzzles that require ludicrous movement. If they stuck to the good parts solving clues and making deductions they’d be much stronger.

Sherlock Holmes and the Affair of the Thirteen Lanterns Of all our curious adventures, none clings to my mind like the affair of the Thirteenth Lantern.
