I’ll put a few emojis in from my keyboard ☹️😀👍🙂😉 they work? Could I have been doing something wrong? No matter,

Cheers Tim.

The signature is back. Cheers Tim. I like the new format Tim. New things always take a while to get used to. Especially if you’re a caveman like me. I just tried a smiley emoji from my keyboard and it won’t accept it so it looks like it’s something to do with my pad maybe? It’s not important at all. I’ll use the ones one here. oh ......I say old chap Just to add....well done Tim....an edit function that will save me from the dreaded predictive text.

It was the thumbs up which is on my iPad keyboard. I use it regularly. It’s not a problem if it doesn’t work on the new set up though. ‘I’ll try it again........nope it still won’t allow it.

One more question Tim. Can we ‘edit signature’ on here, with my Sherlock Holmes emoji’s?

Hi Tim, I’m sure that even the world’s worst technophobe (me) will get the hang of the new set up. Ive just clicked ‘submit reply’ but it’s come up saying ‘the value entered includes a character that is not allowed such as an Emoji.’ I’ve noticed that J.P. has added one so is that something that I’ve done wrong?

Grrrrrr ‘Ackland’ not Auckland.

Isn’t there a Kirk? I know......we’re in danger of producing an enormous list of ‘wants’ here. If we get to Yeoman Rand then we know that we’ve gone over the top

It’s all subjective of course

Der Hund Von Baskervilles is not a good movie by the way but I didn’t expect it to be. Bruno Guttner who plays Holmes dresses in a pair of plus fours like a reject from a Jeeves and Wooster story. Still glad I’ve got it though

Thanks again Tim. I should have remembered you’re name as I was talking to Carol or Arcadia the other day about the Forum ( just being inquisitive about who runs it etc and one of them mentioned your name.)

Don't know, Carol ... I just pictured myself showing up with a full face mask of my avatar. I think there might actually be some running and screaming involved. :D I wouldn't worry about it, I think most people are perfectly capable of, er, ignoring posts they're not interested in. I think it would be a good question ... you might be surprised how many people around here are also interested in other Holmeses. (Then again, maybe you won't. :P) I know the discussions you and Hikari have had did encourage me to go back and read some more of the canon (although I haven't done it yet ... but at least it's back on my list of things to do!) I loved the Brett series. I didn't swoon over it like I do over "Sherlock," but I remember looking forward to watching it with my dad every week. That's the part of it that sticks with me the most; it was something my dad and I shared. I'm only briefly familiar with any other versions, but that doesn't stop me from having opinions on them ... so ask away! See? :smile: Same here. I didn't start watching it because it was about Sherlock Holmes, I gave it a try because I'd heard so many great things about it, and I knew I liked Martin Freeman. And it wasn't until Season 3 aired - or, more accurately, went off the air - that I went off the deep end. I can't explain it; this is one of the few shows that feels like it was made for People Just Like Me. (All two dozen of us. :P) It could have been about Joe the Plumber and I suspect I would have been just as nuts about it, as long as it had the same verve/actors/style/etc. But that doesn't lessen my enjoyment of other versions of Holmes. I don't know why, but I don't have any problem containing different versions of the same thing in my head. Star Trek, for instance ... I was mad about the universe of the original series, but I also love the reboot and it doesn't bother me at all that, for instance, Khan is suddenly a white guy. (Although, to be fair, he's not just any white guy... :naughty:) I remember really enjoying the Seven Percent Solution, for example. But I didn't lose my mind over it. I don't know why I succumbed so thoroughly to Sherlock, but I did. I blame Benedict. :P There is the manga version, though, which is not so different from a novelization. I haven't bought one, but I've seen a couple pages online and it looks to me like there's a least some additional material, in the same way there would be in a novelization. I wonder why they were okay with that but not the other. I bought the first two (around 10 comics I think) but I won’t bother getting the rest. If being a collector leads you to buying things that you don’t really like ( and I don’t like Manga) then you need to have a bit of a re-think

The Moftisses have stated that they are opposed to publishing novelizations of the episodes, but they might make the shooting scripts available at some point. I would guess that point should be pretty damn soon, if they don't want the casual fans drifting away to something else. There are online copies of about half of the scripts, though, hopefully to be followed by the rest. For some reason I missed this post Carol. Thanks for the info. I didn’t know that.

Nope. I’m getting greedy

I don’t suppose that there’s a Peter Cushing? :Cushing:

How about this? Thanks for that

Two utter failures! I thought that at least Carol would have one

Cheers Arcadia. Like the Spock. I’m going to try a couple of names at random and to see if there’s an emoticon :Gandalf: :carolthedabbler:

As an exercise it would be interesting to have someone re-write A Study In Scarlet and The Valley Of Fear, shortening the Holmes-free gaps, and so reducing them to nearer short story length. I’m sure that readers would like them more.

Even I lose interest in the middle part of Valley☹️

I’ll hedge a little 1st = Hound + Sign Of Four 2nd Study 3rd. Valley It’s pretty close for me. As Hikari said, the shorter Holmes stories are better. No Holmes-free gaps. The Valley Of Fear And A Study In Scarlet both suffer badly for this (especially ‘Valley.’)

Oh, it is.

You’re a star

Are there emoticons for: Jeremy Brett or any other Holmes actor Frankenstein Dracula ?
