A lovely interview with Ernest Dudley (1908-2006), a relative of Eille Norwood. He is interviewed by none other than David Stuart Davies (of course!).

Love the cover of this Lost World cover from Hodder & Stoughton published 1936.

One of the reviews on back cover: “Jules Verne might have written it”!!!

New post featuring a lovely interview with Eille (rhymes with Filey!) Norwood in November 1924 - with over a year of performances for the play 'The Return' as #Sherlock.

You'll love the final line of the article.

A post on some John Bennett Shaw ephemera, with some examples. I'm growing an appreciation for his delightful creativity and energy

A bit more on this podcast and how it is meant to operate. This is kind of a new idea (I think) so it might not work. It might, though. I think you'll like the story, regardless.

When I was at lunch with a group of people the other day we did a NZ newspaper's daily quiz. One of the questions was what job did Sherlock Holmes have after he retired from solving crimes?
We ended up in a big discussion about it like he was a real person.

Got up early to try to get some marking done, and read an essay on Sherlock Holmes that was so good I went and read it twice. After a not very nice few weeks at work, it is lovely to be reminded that this is what it is all about. So proud of this student. 😊

Yesterday I went to the AFI Silver for a showing of three #sherlockholmes silent films, with live Hammond-organ music by Ben Model. These are new restorations from the British Film Institute and looked great.

These were 1920s movies starring Eille Norwood as Holmes and Hubert Willis as Watson […]
