Sudden burst of creativity

(quote from BBC 4 The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes)

Watson from the Bert Coules adaptation is so funny bc he’ll be like “yeah my wife sometimes wonders if my heart actually belongs to Holmes because I run off with him so much” and then he won’t deny it

Drawings of mine that make you turn up the brightness of ones screen.

Anyway. I uh. Listened to Radio Holmes Hounds of the Baskervilles again and what can I say. 20/20. What a way to portray the ending.

[ID: a digital drawing of a scene from The Hound of the Baskervilles. Holmes and Watson are standing close to each other on the moor, Watson is holding Holmes by the shoulders while Holmes, one hand on Watsons arm looks after Stapleton who's a tiny dot of light in the distance. Holmes trouser legs and the rim of his coat are coated in dirt. A lantern on Watsons arm is eliminating the two. /End ID]

Watson: There's nothing like a drink when you're down in the dumps.

Holmes: Except for cocaine, Watson. That is the magic potion that gives me glimpses of paradise.

Watson: And brings you down to earth with a bump.

Holmes: Like love, I'm told.

It has long been a dream of mine to make a compilation of the hysterical stylings of Clive Merrison as Sherlock Holmes. History relates that the BBC actually received letters of complaint regarding this Laugh-with-a-capital-L, and such outbursts of amusement were tragically kept to a minimum after the first series.

The first short interview clip is from ep. 202 of the I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere podcast. The following, in airdate order, are from BBC Radio 4's Sherlock Holmes (1989-98) dramatised mainly by Bert Coules, with the exception of the final clip from the last episode of the extracanonical Further Adventures, which aired in 2010.

The Devil's Foot: Granada/Radio Holmes Edit

(bonus, under the influence of the devil's foot itself, in the radio adaptation, holmes and watson quote this simultaneously)

[agoddamneddelight]

so i’m re-listening to the sherlock holmes radio drama from the beginning and i forgot abt that time watson explains that he noticed there’s two completely different sides to holmes personality and how he just read about that in a medical journal like. he’s trying so hard to diagnose this man. watson’s like it’s almost like his personality is… bipolar? ugh nvm that sounds stupid

[vetchtibbles]

holmes: a man’s house can be remarkably informative

[scene cut]

watson: that’s not a house, that’s a fortress!

holmes: informative :D
