British horror fan. The only good X is certificate X.
This is hugely entertaining stuff that I can recommend to any Holmes fan. Dan is a friend, but I wouldn’t say that if I didn’t mean it.
A year ago today my Sherlock Holmes novel, The Devil's Crown, made its debut in paperback (the hardback followed later) after existing in my head and in various forms for over quarter of a century.

I watched Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up And Scald Myself With Tea and my wife walked in.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a film about Nazi sympathisers going back in time to give Hitler the H-bomb.”
A pause.
“It looks old.”
“1977.”
A longer pause.
“Subtitles?”
“It’s Czech.”
She sighs.
“I should have married Jeff.”

“None of us can guess how the Trump assault on the BBC will play out, because he wields unprecedented power, unchecked by personal dignity or decency.”
No. We can’t. But we can condemn forever the repulsive British politicians and media gobshites who would side with him instead of us.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

Since Stephen Sondheim’s death, in 2021, there have been a flurry of books about his life and his singular influence on musical theatre. A new addition zeroes in on a lesser-known side of the composer: his passion for puzzles and games.

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.
The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.
