The series must have had a wonderful script writer who understood that sometimes a dramatic production needs to depart from the source material a little in order to be true to the spirit of the original in a different medium.Doctor Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114545406733260180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084607686570359807.post-88809887619886552002012-03-30T09:10:11.948-07:002012-03-30T09:10:11.948-07:00On a somewhat related note, one of the finest radi...On a somewhat related note, one of the finest radio adaptations of the Holmes Canon (and my personal favorite) is of course Clive Merrison as Sherlock Holmes & Michael Williams as Dr. John Watson in the BBC 'Complete Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes'. <br /><br />Along with being fine interpretations, the scripts added in bits of non-canonical dialogue/plot that truly enhance the plot. In particular (your Volume 7 comment about Watson's intro to LAST) the introduction to The Last Bow is excellent portraying Watson at a Barts reunion giving a talk on his time with Holmes but then being asked by young (now very old) Stamford what Holmes has been up to, to which Watson replies (in a heartbreaking scene) he hasn't really seen Holmes for years....obviously, the call from Holmes comes soon after and then the events of LAST begin. Wonderful!!campunityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739753296418599312noreply@blogger.com
