Part of the reason that it is so much fun is that it does something interesting with the format and the characters rather than just slavishly copying the original (PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES and EXIT SHERLOCK HOLMES are other examples of this type of pastiche).

"The West End Horror," where the dynamic duo team up with George Bernard Shaw, and "The Canary Trainer," where Holmes goes up against the Phantom of the Opera, are also good, but not as elegant and fresh.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343947041898057102noreply@blogger.com
