Today we release the first set of photos for the next upcoming NPLH episode "A Tale of Two Suitors".
 Today we have the 2nd episode of the 8th Series of No Place Like Holmes. Sherlock Holmes and PC Andrew Burke investigate the case of a blackmailer holding an entire apartment block to ransom. Oddly, this turns out to be the least of their problems. Here is a little game ahead of the next episode. All of these pictured are suspects for a murder. Can you correctly guess whodunnit before the episode? Pick a letter and see if you are right in a few days time!  As many will recall, as of March 2020 we had to close down the essay page and A-Z Holmes index of the site. Click here for the news article which explains it in more detail. However, while this might get resolved in the future, I am happy to say that the Essay page has now partially reopened with a few of the essays that were not affected by Howard Ostrom's book deal. In the meantime, I have had a large overhaul in the background for a lot of the site, and have removed or cleaned up a great deal of the pages and broken content. Other sections you will find marked with under construction while I continue to do this. This should hopefully result in a less cluttered and smoother user experience. Some people may be disappointed that certain segments and series have been removed, but this site has always been about finding new ways to present the world of Sherlock Holmes and Doyle to fans, and the loss of one avenue will lead to more innovation. I have a lot of ideas of what I want to do with it all, but it may take some to get it all running and functional. Thanks to everyone who has been a visitor of this site over the past decade, and I hope what we have coming next will be enough to convince you keep coming back for the next ten years too! On this note, if anyone wants to use this platform to reach a wider audience, please feel free to get in touch. This could be as wide ranging as deep analytical essays on the canon, or reviews on films/pastiche books. Anything Holmes or Doyle related can be considered.  Inspired by her recent return to Baker Street as Mary Watson in the 8th Series of No Place Like Holmes, Lexi Wolfe will be performing a special live zoom event recital play about the great man.
BAKER STREET LADIES (SHERLOCK'S WOMEN) Sherlock Holmes is not at home this evening. Neither is his friend and colleague Dr. Watson. Mr Holmes is rarely home unless knee-deep in a case (and unavailable anyway) or otherwise desperately waiting for a good one to come along. But on this particular evening, whatever the 'case', he is elsewhere. Four ladies, all with strong ties to the Great Detective, one after another, are drawn towards and into 221b Baker Street in the hope of finding him at home. Booking here: https://baker0820a.eventbrite.co.uk Tickets are pay-what-you-can (suggested amount around £9). You will receive an order confirmation at the bottom of which you will find your Zoom link. ---oOo--- Today we have a brand new episode of The History of Spirituality, adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book, The History of Spiritualism. In this episode we take a brief overview over the life of Andrew Jackson Davis, a Boston born early advocate for what became to be known as the Spiritualist movement. It is with a very heavy heart that I have to say that we are no longer going to be publishing and maintaining the Sherlock Holmes' Actors A-Z Index and Howard Ostrom's amazing essay pieces. For those unaware, Howard's tireless work in researching the Sherlockian film world led him getting to a well-deserved book series deal. Unfortunately, the continued publication of these pieces online would make a breach of his agreed contract, and, not wishing to jeopardize this, I must comply with it. I know that this will be a big disappointment for the many fans who enjoyed these works, or used them in their own research, but this is sadly out of our hands. However, this work obviously does live on, and can still be found through Howard's excellent book series "Sherlock Holmes On Screen". I want to also use this post to publicly thank Howard for his amazing work and support, and really making this site have a far greater reach and appeal than ever would have been possible without him. It was his sharing of my very early work back in around 2011 that led many Sherlock Holmes to be aware of me in the first place. His contributions also were the major groundwork behind the mini web documentary series "The Diogenes Documentaries" too. I felt that, together, we managed to carve out quite a niche for providing both educational and entertainment value in the Holmes world. This obviously does leave this site somewhat stripped, but I will be working hard to think about how best to reorganize and move forward with the site, and what sort of content I might look towards creating, or publishing, in its place. The core web series and films will be unaffected by these changes, and I will continue to look to develop/adapt Doyle's works through these mediums and others. If any fans wish to suggest things that they might like to see us do, or, simply send Howard a message of thanks, you can do so via the contact form. And so, my dear fellows, I remain, very sincerely yours, Ross K. Foad Today we can announce more castings for the actors that you can expect to see in the next upcoming episode of No Place Like Holmes.
