Check out the Updates section - what a story! He is now engaged to the woman he's based this character on, who he hadn't seen in 50 years.

Ah yes! Looks like a rerelease of another of his books.

At the bottom of the Updates section, he also mentions that he is finally going to do the third Moriarty book. Incredible news! Makes me feel like I'm a geeky, thirteen year old Sherlockian again!
I know I disparage his Bond novels for their repetitiveness, and their re-imaging of 007, but his other works are often masterful. Now, if only he had another Oakes novel in him.

Hey Darren.
I've seen some stores selling the Peter Cushion version over here. Think I might just be tempted to pick me up a couple.

You mean the Peter Cushing BBC television series? They are well worth a purchase. I bought mine the end of last year from Amazon UK and promptly devoured all the episodes.

Thanks for that Darren.They are worth every penny. Stock is a great Watson - one of the best.
I can remember seeing a couple when they were televised, but I think I was a collage at the time, so my time was taken up with studying.
I've also read a few of the books. I can remember "The Hound of the Baskervilles", and enjoyed it immensely.
Off to the Mall next week I feel.
Just a little side note. When Carol and I had the Acting Agency, we had the two official Holmes and Watson on our books.
Cheers,
Ian
