Who around here is a fan of The master Detective Sherlock Holmes? I Am a proud one :D I even got the old Radio Programs from the 20s, 30s, and 40s! :D

Big fan, though not active. I read the stories first in the original Strand magazines in my school library.

Two interesting facts about sherlock holmes

1: In the books he never says "elementary Watson"

2: He is never described as wearing a dearstalker in the books

I liked Rupert Everett as Sherlock Holmes if that counts?

I bought a book of Sherlock Holmes stories the other day, mostly because it was the only slightly-interesting English-language book in my local book shop, and it's good, so I think I may be turning into a fan :)

I read all the novels and short stories about 13-14 years ago now. Classics!

I also think the British (ITV) series with Jeremy Brett is brilliant. It stays very true to how Conan-Doyle portrayed Holmes.

Is it wrong that I misread this as "John Holmes Fanclub"?

Yes, not that I know who John Holmes is anyway, I just thought that's a funny response

They've been putting the stories one a day on BBC radio 7 at the moment which you can listen to online. I like the voice of the guy who plays Holmes - Clive merrison I think - it just seems absolutely perfect for the part.
