For many, Jeremy Brett is the ultimate Sherlock Holmes, particularly once Edward Hardwicke joined. Colin Jeavons as Lestrade, Eric Porter as Moriarty, Charles Gray as Mycroft. A full-scale outdoor replica of Baker Street was built at Granada's studios in Quay Street, Manchester.

I cannot recommend this book enough, it's a real page-turner and I haven't even gotten to The Bill reading it so far!

Whilst we wait for new television episodes of #DoctorWho, we as fans have so much other content to digest, from books, audios and other merchandise.
We can still support the show until it returns ๐

GREMLINS was released 42 years ago today.
Mrs. Deagleโs infamous โlaunchโ was achieved entirely with practical effects. After filming, Polly Holliday asked that her red slippers remain visible, a darkly comic nod to the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz.
