The Boscombe Valley Mystery

Watson: The strains of such an existence had not escaped the attention of Mary, my wife, whose habit of drawing conclusions from small details was sometimes disconcertingly familiar.

Mary: Well, John, what does Mr. Holmes have to say?
Watson: How on earth did you know this was from Holmes?
Mary: A telegram from a patient would have had you rushing from the room at once -- and there's a distinctly nostalgic look in your eyes... shall you go?
Watson: Good lord, you're doing it again!
Mary: Oh, John, stop it, you're sounding like one of your own stories.

Holmes: I see you're blending into the country setting Lestrade -- those leather leggings are extremely fetching.

Watson: [incredulous] You got him bail.
Holmes: It was the logical thing to do.
Watson: You weren't, of course, motivated by their feelings for each other.
Holmes: Oh really, doctor.

Watson: Holmes and Lestrade, at each other's throats. I don't know which one is the worst.
Mary: I think I could probably guess.
Watson: [laughs] I think you probably could.
Mary: Come along now, or your homecoming meal will be spoiled. ...John?
Watson: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about Holmes... buried away on his own. Do you think we should invite him to dinner sometime?
Mary: Would he come?
Watson: No... probably not. [sighs] Oh well.

It *was* good, wasn't it? I posted one of the exact same quotes in my journal when I listened to it on Weds. Funny, eh? And I did like how they put that bit in the beginning with Mary - it really brought out her character.

Oh yeah! I meant to indignantly reply to your statement:

Of course, Clive Merrison can't hold a candle to Jeremy Brett's Holmes.

Because he most certainly CAN.

I'm sorry if you were offended by my statement; it was merely my opinion. To me, Jeremy Brett will always be THE Holmes.

dragons?

did you tape dragons? or was there a tape made?

Unfortunately our bout of cable only lasted two days. So no dragons. I am full of sadness. SOMEONE must have done it though -- and I'm sure they will play it again and again, since they have very little material. So there is hope yet.

I only saw it by luck. I had completely forgotten about it (as I knew I would), and only just by chance happened to catch the beginning while flipping channels.

It was... OK. Their scientific explanations as to how dragons could have actually existed were creative, if not entirely plausible. I enjoyed it mostly for the narration (Patrick Stewart!).

If they repeat it, do you want me to tape it for you? I wouldn't mind.

you would have very much gratitude from me if you did... not having seen it is... well... quite frustrating.

i'll send it to siobhan. and i am sure she would share it with you.

[sunyudai.livejournal.com]

Yay! thank you very much!

now we just have to hope that animal planet repeats the show...

[sunyudai.livejournal.com]

I bet they do, they repeat everything.
