Today we have the first video in the Great Sherlock Holmes Debate 4 Series.
"The Introduction" Video.

This debate took place on the 8th June 2013 at the UCL London and its main element was an emphasis on BBC Sherlock VS CBS Elementary but it also looked at what the current media adaptions as a whole contributed to the continuation of the Legacy of Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock, Elementary, Warner Bros Film Franchise, No Place Like Holmes, Big Finish Audio and the present Russian Series all got a look in with representatives arguing the cases for and against them.

Come back tomorrow for the first of the presentations.

6 Knit-Poleon Creator Identified

16/6/2013

I am pleased to say our 6 KnitPoleon creator has come forward to let me know who she was.

Turns out she creates these custom built key rings to order and sells through her
face-book page/shop "SID KEY RINGS".

She has a large array of variety from zombies,cats,mustaches to penguins but within reason will turn her hand to personal requests to create something even more exclusive or elaborate.

Bet she could make a mini Sherlock Holmes one if you asked her nicely.

I again would like to say a big thank you for this very kind gift and her own generosity
will be rewarded with a choice from a selection of Holmes pastiche books.

Six Knit-Poleons

15/6/2013

Sew, what I have got to show you today?

Well following on from Howards Holmes made Shoelock shoes, yesterday in the post I received a rather interesting package from a fan of NPLH containing 6 home made knitted Napoleon Key Chains!

The package contained little more than this and a note saying "Six Napoleons For You".
So I am afraid I can not give you the name of the creator of these wonderful handcrafted items although I think I might know (My address is available in the back of The Story and Scripts Behind NPLH - feel free to stalk me.)

For those unaware, The Six Napoleon significance is of course relevant to me as it is the scoring system I use for my book reviews inspired from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes story "The 6 Napoleons" which revolves around 6 Napoleon Statuettes and a missing pearl.

Are you the hobby craft Holmesian behind these? If so get in touch and let me know
as you have won yourself a prize.
