I've recently acquired the audio recording of "The Secret of Sherlock Holmes" and wanted to see if I could clean it up a bit.  Act I is certainly the better sounding of the two, but I wanted to try and get rid of some of the hiss in Act II, and this is about as good as I could make it.  I also made Act II a much higher bit rate, to hopefully compensate for the lack of quality in the recording.

Season 2 of Sherlock saw an amazing climax, to say the very least. All of us knew that it would be Sherlock v/s Moriarty at the end of the season, thanks to the last episode of Season 1 which saw Moriarty reveal himself and leave the season on a cliff-hanger. Imagine our surprise!



Well, now that Season 2 has come to an end — we can say that all it has managed to do is make us Sherlockians more attracted to this beauty. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, hats off to you guys. Quite…

Well, to be honest, I never expected BBC's Sherlock to be good. But after watching the first and second season back to back in two days - yes, it hooked me up that bad - I can honestly say that those hours spent in watching Sherlock were indeed one of the best moments of my life. 



It was interesting to note how the writer(s) - Mark Gatiff and Steve Moffat have portrayed the character of Sherlock. No, this isn't the 20th century Sherlock. He's very much living in the 21'st century…

I have a book collection for sale that includes Vol 28-38 of the Baker Street Journal. I will send a listing to anyone interested..

Much greetings from Cologne.

Elementary might be taking a break for the VP debate, but we sure aren't! Instead, we're going to watch and discuss a much older, but very beloved, Sherlock Holmes adaptation starring the great Basil Rathbone. Join Austin and Leigh as they discuss their first impressions of Basil Rathbone in Dressed to Kill later this week!

Royalty, Ryan and Rathbone

The latest post, Austin and Leigh talk about A Scandal in Bohemia and what makes it so interesting. There's talk of gender, feminism, Star Wars, Superman and Tina Fey. Join the discussion and let us know what you think of "The Woman."

A Scandal in Bohemia!

"Oh no," you say. "Not an excerpt from yet another unpublished book?" I'm afraid so. This book is entitled: "Upside Down and Backwards: Events, Musings, Adventures and Rants from an (Over) Examined Life." It's a collection of essays written over many years of business travels and social adventures. You may find more on my blog: http://thejokesmith.wordpress.com .

About the Book

Most of the books that I chose, or am asked to review, are pastiches or books by authors who have studied the many adventures Holmes and I had together. Recently there have been a few books looking at specific aspects of Holmes’ ability as the first consulting detective.

The most recent of these is…

I used to live in the Pasadena, CA area and still belong to a wonderful group there, the Curious Collectors of Baker Street.  But it is a long drive for me now and  I am interested in forming a new society in my area - The Silver Blaze Society of the Santa Ynez Valley (we are reknown in our area for our extraordinary equines) and would like anyone who lives in the general area (Santa Barbara County) if they are interested in joining.

Doctor Watson a woman?  I have so many mixed feelings kicking around in my head right now, writes Charlotte Anne Walters.

I’ve just picked up the paper on my way to work and seen that CBS have cast Lucy Liu to play the role of Doctor Watson alongside Jonny Lee Miller’s Holmes in their pilot television series Elementary.

In the series, Holmes will be an ex-consultant to Scotland Yard who is now living in Brooklyn after a spell in rehab for addition problems.  He lives with…
