The Last Vampyre (Part Deux)

2026/02/05

It starts in flames. Turns out, those flames destroyed the set - and the manor house - entirely. This is Granada's attempt to put Holmes against a vampire - could have been great, turns out it was...well, a mess. We discuss. Part two of two.

The Master Blackmailer: Part Deux

2025/12/31

The slimy, oleaginous Charles Augustus Milverton meets his well-deserved end. Second of two parts.

The Master Blackmailer - Part One

2025/12/10

We're dividing this episode in two because it was a TV movie. A seminal encounter between Holmes and Charles Augustus Milverton - played to perfection by Robert Hardy.

The Creeping Man

2025/11/26

Monkey glands! A more-than-midlife crisis! And the horrors of animal trafficking, which still continues today. The greatest primate actor of all time (Peter Elliott), and the immortal words: "If inconvenient, come all the same." Holmes and Watson aim to rescue more than one young woman from the fragility of the male ego.

The Illustrious Client

2025/11/19

A wife-murder in the Alps - apparently, it's called uxoricide. No wonder it hasn't caught on. Followed by a porcelain collection, and a collection of...women. Come for Sherlock Holmes, stay for Laura's encounter with Gene Simmons from KISS, who also has a collection of women.

The Boscombe Valley Mystery

2025/11/19

Australians - and baby James Purefoy! We love this show because it introduces us to the nascence of our favorite actors. A man is lying dead by a lakeside. A gamekeeper talks too much. Star-crossed would-be lovers - and a forgotten past. It's too good, too delightfully grotesque.

Shoscombe Old Place

2025/11/19

Another horse racing mystery! But there's a baby Jude Law, some beautiful egg cozies, and yes - a man taking advantage of his sister's fortune. And a disguise! It's Gothic mystery at its best here.

The Problem at Thor Bridge

2025/10/27

A Brazilian wife, a blameless governess, and a whole lot of rhododenrons - Rachel and Laura unpack Winchester Prison, the Huguenots, and Cheshire vs Hampshire.

Hound Part Two!

2025/10/09

The second part of the Richard Roxburgh Hound of the Baskervilles. So good. Definitely better than the Granada version.

The Disappearance of Lady Carfax

2025/10/06

A deeply unsatisfying episode by Granada - who knew that women had the ability to do what they wanted, when they wanted? Lady Frances Carfax has disappeared from a hotel in the Lake District. So many men are deeply concerned.

Hound of the Baskervilles: Richard Roxburgh version!

2025/09/17

We're comparing the Richard Roxburgh version of Hound of the Baskervilles to the Jeremy Brett version. Roxburgh is a very different actor, and the story is told in a different way as well - leaving out the Lankford family entirely, and focusing more on wide panoramic shots of the moor. Sir Henry is not the son but the nephew of Sir Charles. And a host of other differences that true Sherlockians will enjoy.

Hound of the Baskervilles Part 2

2025/09/17

Holmes reveals himself to Watson and Mortimer, and introduces his only attempt at cooking - a cold stew that even Watson refuses to eat. Is Beryl Stapleton who she says she is? What happens to her brother as he runs through the moor at night? Why is the dog green?

Hound of the Baskervilles Part 1

2025/09/03

"Mr. Holmes. They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!" With that statement, Holmes and Watson - mostly Watson - are off to Dartmoor. A horrific, large, possibly supernatural dog is haunting the moorland, and Sir Henry Baskerville is the probable target. Is the moor truly haunted?

The Bruce Partington Plans

2025/08/28

We'll never know who Bruce Partington was, but his plans for a secret submarine are the sole concern of this episode. Holmes becomes a submarine expert, Mycroft is bestirred from his usual rounds, and absolutely nothing is as it seems apart from oysters being in season.
