So nobody is interested in replying to my last post but what the hell I've googled this new tv show and it seems quite interesting. Would appreciate any comments on whether its any good or not..
Anyway - change of subject - can someone help me on another matter please? I'm looking for something Holmesian to frame for one of the walls at home. I'm thinking original prints or something similar. I've surfed around a bit and not found anything that fits the bill other than posters and I'm looking for something more unique than that. Regardless, I want something on the literary Holmes not tv or film. Does anyone know of a site that might have this type of stuff?
thanks in advance!

If everything else fails, the Sherlock Holmes Museum Shop might be of help: http://www.sherlockholmesmuseum.com/
Thanks Stromberg - appreciate your help. I've actually already looked there and it's not really what I'm looking for. I think I need to find a collector who deals in this stuff. That reminds me - many years ago when I was living in London I called up the Sherlock Holmes Museum as listed in the yellow pages on spec. Anyway, when I turned up it was the apartment of an elderly chap who, I kid you not, was probably the greatest SH expert in the world. We spent the whole day just looking at his collection and chatting. He'd been the consultant on every SH related piece of entertainment since Rathbone. I'm telling you, it was unbelievable. A few years after I met him (I wish I could remember his name :{ ) I saw on TV that he'd died and his entire collection had been put up for auction by his wife (who I also met - she brought us tea and cake!). I have no idea what the auction brought in but it was amazing stuff. Now THAT'S the kind of stuff I want!
Anyone know of a serious collector/dealer I could connect with?
Blimey, tough crowd. Do you know who Una Stubbs is?
No. No I do not. Should I?
Well, best not to complain about not getting a joke when you don't even understand the contents. Good grief.
She's the new Mrs Hudson, MrKidd. Or at least she was in the pilot.
Ok - you've just thrown me there Mark...sorry, I don't keep up like I should. So, there's a new TV show...
1. who SH?
2. Who's Watson?
3. Can totally see the lovely Una playing Mrs H
I know, I know, I'm being thick! I had no idea they were doing a new TV show..
1. Benedict Cumberbatch
2. Martin Freeman
As a different 3. Rupert Graves as Lestrade
It's only going to be a handful of episodes -- four I think -- and according to the twitter Paul McGuigan is directing. But according to wiki, some Coky somethingorother is directing, so I don't know if it's a different director for each episode, or wiki's wrong, or it's just whatsisface for the pilot and McGuigan for the rest or what.
There's a promo shot somewhere. I'll go hunting for it.
Very interesting - thank you. I can see this Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes. Wasn't he in that University Challenge movie with James McAvoy? He was good in that.

No-one's seen it yet!
But it's Sherlock Holmes adapted by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss... I would be surprised if it's anything less than brilliant.
Admittedly it's shot in Wales
Yes, yes - that's
is intriguing
Gatiss and Moffat that is, not Wales
