==============================================================================
Sorry to bother you....but I can not post news.
The alt.fan.holmes news group has been discussing Holmes's Cocaine
Habit, andDave Smythe just mentioned a uncannonical book
"The 7 Percent Solution" by Nicholas Meyer.
  
I just thought that it might be worth pointing out that this book
describes how Holmes might have been cured of cocaine addiction
by the most eminent expert of the time...

	The last time I looked into this, it was my understanding that the
closest address to 221-B was occupied by the Abbey National Bank, which
employed someone to answer the letters is received addressed to Holmes.
	Perhaps one of our British readers can enlighten us on this point.

For those who have been wondering about Jeremy Brett's "weight gain"
in some of the older episodes, no it wasn't deliberate so much as
tragic.  At the end of the first (or was it the second?) season,
Jeremy Brett's wife died, and he had a nervous breakdown.

Yes.  After just finishing "A Study in Scarlet" this morning, I was also
thinking that it would be difficult to fit into the Granada series
without a great deal of re-working.  One of the biggest problems is that
to be true to the original story, they would have to depict the first
meeting between Holmes and Watson.  Hard to start at the beginning when
you've already filmes stories towrads the end of the canon.  I think
we'd also need to see a fairly younger pair for this story.

Speaking of forcing characters go go back in time...when was "Hound"
filmed in the series?  Early on?  I suspect that it was, since Brett
looked much heavier in that one as opposed to the later episodes where
he appears much thinner (in agreement with Doyle's physical description
of Holmes).  I wonder if he deliberately lost weight after "Hound" to
fit the character better?

[This source is located in the USA, so I'm limiting distribution to here]
	Those of you with computers and modems (presumable most of this
group) may want to investigate "Sherlocktron", a computer bulletin board
system (BBS) devoted entirely to things Sherlockian.  The phone numbers are:
714-492-0724 (data)
714-368-6914 (voice)
714-992-0981 (fax)
72175,1376 (Compu$erve)
	There's no charge for using the BBS (aside from any long distance
you might incur).  It supports communication at 300/1200/2400, N-8-1.  It
contains information on over 100 Sherlockian publications, 500 scion
societies (a good source for those of you looking for such groups in your
area!), and 432 vendors of Sherlockian collectibles.
	It also supports an electronic Sherlockian magazine, the issues of
which can be downloaded to your PC, and submisions to which can be uploaded.
	I'm not connected with Sherlocktron in any way, but I thought it
might be a good source of information for some of you.

	In a word, NO.  In fact, your description applies to precious few
of the stories.
	It is true that Holmes' deductions are actually more like "best
best" based on the available evidence, and some of the stories involve
little in the way of actual detection (The Veiled Lodger is a classic
example), but these are exceptions.  Your characterization is hyperbolic,
to say the least.

Yeah, I favor 'The Dancing Men' also.

Then there is 'The Blue Carbuncle', which is the best Holmes _comedy_, IMHO.

The swapped Watsons at Reichenbach Falls.  I'm still not sure whether they
re-shot the far away scenes, but I doubt it.  So, you should be able to
see two Watsons in "The Return ...".

Uh, yes.  Sherlock == heaven.  A&E sucks the big one.  They always talk over

stupid times, often.  I have been taping the Jeremy Brett David Burke/Edward

Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce tapes...

There is supposed to be a new set for this fall on A&E.  They showed one
last week during the pledge drive.  Pretty good...!

Did anybody like Charlton Heston's recent Holmes?  "Crucifer of Blood" as
I remember.  Was a "Sign of Four" kind-of...  I haven't decided, but I
think it was a bit overdone.

Agreed.  Case closed.  Basil Rathbone's "Hound" wasn't too bad, though.

Question: how could Holmes keep it "for his museum" and still have a

I saw a recent interview with Jeremy Brett, and he says he wants to do
all of the stories eventually, so it looks like they should keep coming
if they can find funding.

As Sam mentioned, a lot of the illustrated ones aren't
necessarily complete.  In particular, I'm thinking of a facsimile
edition with a red-dust jacket that I saw on every B.Dalton's
remainder table, which was billed as being "complete" and wasn't.

Aside from that, most of the illustrated editions I've
seen, even if they contain the illustrations, don't
necessarily contain ALL the illustrations.  As I mentioned,
there's roughly one picture for every two pages in my edition.

Complete?...Well, lessee... [flip flip]...

Study in Scarlet
The Sign of Four
24 stories from THE ADVENTURES
The Hound of the Baskervilles
13 stories from THE RETURN
6 stories from THE REMINISCENCES
The Valley of Fear
His Last Bow
and 12 stories from the CASEBOOK

That makes 54 stories + *5*.

	Actually, none of the stories following The Great Hiatus mention any
drug use beyond the more socially acceptable tobacco and alcohol.  More than
one Sherlockian scholar has speculated that Holmes' character underwent some
changes during that time, and that his lack of interest in cocaine is just
one sign of this.
	For that matter, only a handful of the stories preceeding "Empty
House" actually refer to his drug use.

I have to agree as well.  Jeremy Brett is the first Holmes who fits the image I got
from reading the stories.  

I think Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley made a hilarious pair as Holmes and Watson
in "Without A Clue".  Does anyone else agree?
