I'm considering a way to re-imagine Sherlock Holmes, but in a South or Central American setting...
Obviously the easy story would be the one with the bad guy getting chased by a huge dog and falling foul of the Grimpen Maya.
I'm in condition today...

Well, he would get a massive reduction in his charlie bills...to be honest, I just wrote it for the pun at the end. |
|
| |
Anyway, he'd be buggered unless he could know all the different colours of mud, and one continent has a lot of variety of mud. |
|
| |
Presumably the first story in the series would
become "A Scandal In Bolivia" … |
|
| |
He'd still need his deerstalker hat and Ulster
cape to keep him warm, as it's well known
that the very southernmost parts of the
continent are Chile … |

Damn, why didn't I think of that one... |
|
| |
Avert the gaze of children, I'm going to bun myself without shame.. |
|
| |
Right, "His Last Bolas: Some Later Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes"..not really working, I'm all punned out. |
|

Remembers being severely put out that Tess of the
d'Urbervilles featured scant Holmes and Watson,
especially after the Hound of the Baskervilles had
proven so enjoyable. |
|

You should have bought the Reader's Digest version -
Best of the d'Urbervilles. |
|
| |
You should have bought the camper-van guide, Best of the Dormobiles*... |
|

*One of me grandad's jokes.. |
|
| |
Or the book on extreme forelimb technique for tall athletes, 'Hand of
the Basketballs' |
|
| |
Or the well-known meat preserving cookery book for
hard-of-hearing Germans: "Hun deaf herbs cure veal" |
|

If this were televised 24/7 you would always know watson. |

I think Penelope Cruz would make a great Watson... |
|
| |
With Tom Cruz as a rather short Sherlock ? |
|
| |
With Tom Cruise as Harry Pendel... |
|
| |
Cruella of the DeVilles, however, went straight to
the dogs. |
|
| |
Different laws. Holmes logic is less valued. |
|

Guilty until proved innocent, Not Innocent til proved guilty. Criminals think different. |

"I might as well take this shovel since I am going to be blamed for it anyway. If I leave it here and someone else takes it then, I am out shovel, the price of a new shovel, and a day or two in jail. Best to take it and give it back. Wish the boss wouldn't leave his stuff lying around." |
