<br />
This maybe old news to some but I caught the video to Billie Eilish's song "You  Should See Me In A Crown" on Friday, June 7, and the lyrics and video imagery seemed partially  inspired by BBC <i>Sherlock's</i> "Reichenbach Fall" episode. Sure enough, in the time it takes to type "billie eilish you should see me in a crown bbc sherlock" into Google and read <a href="https://genius.com/a/billie-eilish-s-new-single-you-should-see-me-in-a-crown-is-inspired-by-an-episode-of-bbc-s-sherlock">the first item listed</a>, my hunch was confirmed.<br />
<br />
Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell was born on December 18, 2001. Home schooled by parents who work in the entertainment industry. She told <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/billie-eilish-pops-next-it-girl">Vogue</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I’ve been in the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus since I was 8. And my  brother [Finneas O'Connell, born July 30, 1997] has as well. That’s where I’ve gotten all my singing technique,  even though it’s mostly choral stuff. It’s helped me learn the proper  way to sing and not ruin my voice completely. But I’ve just always sung,  all the time. I sang so much that my family had to shush me. Then I  started writing when I was about 11." </blockquote>
<br />
Finneas writes songs, has his own band and acts. He's been on <i>Modern Family</i> and <i>Glee</i>, to name two. Billie and Finneas also work together on Billie's career (an older generation might think of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTaWayUE5XA">Karen and Richard Carpenter</a>) when Billie's home-studio recording of Finneas' "Ocean Eyes" became a SoundCloud hit in 2016 and reached 84 on Billboard's Hot 100 in May, 2019.<br />
<br />
Billie and Finneas were watching BBC <i>Sherlock's</i> "Reichenbach Fall" when, <a href="https://genius.com/a/billie-eilish-s-new-single-you-should-see-me-in-a-crown-is-inspired-by-an-episode-of-bbc-s-sherlock">says Billie</a>,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"There’s a scene where Jim Moriarty says, ‘You should see me in a crown’  and me and my brother were like, ‘hey that’s jiggy as [expletive deleted].’ Then we  just sorta made the song about being jiggy I guess, and you should see  me in a crown, so there it is." </blockquote>
Billie harnesses her inner Jim Moriarty in the chorus of the song:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div>
You should see me in a crown<br />
I'm gonna run this nothing town<br />
Watch me make 'em bow<br />
One by one by, one<br />
One by one by</div>
<div>
<br />
You should see me in a crown<br />
Your silence is my favorite sound<br />
Watch me make 'em bow<br />
One by one by, one<br />
One by one by (one) </div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She also wrote the story for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coLerbRvgsQ">the video</a> by famed artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takashi_Murakami">Takashi Murakami</a>:</div>
<br />

<br />
The spider motif is also from "Reichenbach Fall" when at Jim's trial  Sherlock says,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"James Moriarty isn’t a man at all – he’s a spider; a  spider at the centre of a web – a criminal web with a thousand threads  and he knows precisely how each and every single one of them dances."</blockquote>
The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah0Ys50CqO8">official video</a> for this song features Billie picking up a crown and with spiders crawling all over it (and later on her). Arachnophobes be warned; you should not watch. [<i><b>Editor's note</b>: Seriously. If you're freaked out by spiders, do NOT watch this</i>.]<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Billie's lyrics and videos can be a disturbing chronicle of the tribulations of adolescence (or as some might call it "Tuesday;" I know I did) but she has an incredible amount of talent that she has channeled to art.<br />
<br />
To paraphrase Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes, Billie may be on the side of angels, but don't believe for a minute; despite her <a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pakpy9/watch-billie-eilish-set-fire-to-a-bad-relationship-in-new-video-for-watch">ethereal soprano</a>, she is one.<br />

As a rule, Sherlockians and Holmesians are a welcoming bunch. But occasionally you'll see arguments spring up about why a certain book, film, television show, play, or other related project is rubbish. Well, that's completely subjective, isn't it?<br />
<br />
The guiding light of the Sherlockian movement since its earliest days is rooted in having fun. And who is one person to tell another person how they can have fun? Such is the motivating factor behind <b>Doyle's Rotary Coffin</b>, a concept of Paul Thomas Miller.<br />
<br />
Paul joined us to discuss his quest to acknowledge that anyone's Holmes has something to offer. And to preview his upcoming project: a chronology of the Sherlock Holmes stories titled <i><b>Watson Does Not Lie</b></i> (available soon from Wildside Press). Paul set out to create a chronology that didn't rely on excuses like Watson's poor handwriting, a slip of the memory, or outright fabrications. And he's created quite a convincing argument.<br />
<br />
We also hear stories from Paul's native Portsmouth, U.K., where he has at his fingertips the <a href="https://www.visitportsmouth.co.uk/conandoyle">Arthur Conan Doyle Collection Lancelyn Green Bequest</a> at the Portsmouth Library.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
We have to take a break from Mattias Boström's "As We Go to Press," as he's working on a scoop for the next episode. We've found a replacement segment for your enjoyment. Also, please try your hand at the latest <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz, see if you can figure out the story we're referring to, and you might win a prize.<br />

♪ "Got a whale of a tale to tell ya lad..."♫<br />
<br />
If you mention whaling to any student of the Sherlock Holmes stories, they'll easily point out the story "The Adventure of Black Peter," which concerned a former whaling captain who was found dead in his shack with a steel harpoon driven right through his chest to the wall, where he was "pinned like a beetle on a card." This of course follows Holmes's return to Baker Street with "a huge barbed-headed spear tucked like an umbrella under his arm."<br />
<br />
Whaling is an odd choice of profession for a victim in a Sherlock Holmes story. Where did the inspiration come from? In fact, Conan Doyle had some first-hand experience with whaling.<br />
<br />
For those interested in the whaling adventures of Arthur Conan Doyle, you should check out <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2jQVkR5" rel="nofollow">Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure</a></i>, edited by Jon Lellenberg and Daniel Stashower. It's an annotated and illustrated version of Doyle's diary from his work on the <i>Hope</i> as a young medical student, including his many inadvertent swimming sessions. [<b><i>Editor's note</i></b><i>: check below for bonus content related to this</i>.]<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, at Baker Street Elementary, young Arthur's peers may know a thing or two about how the story turns out...<br />

<br />
One of the reasons we started this site (way back in 2005!) is because we were constantly impressed with Sherlock Holmes popping up at every turn. More than books and movies, we saw the influence of Sherlock Holmes across popular culture.<br />
<br />
As the internet has grown—particularly via social media in the last decade—we've seen Sherlock Holmes-related interests proliferate exponentially. In the great tradition of Sherlockians, people have been able to tie Sherlock Holmes to their own particular interests in life.<br />
<br />
Belanger Books has initiated a Kickstarter for a book that chronicles just that. <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1306925656/sherlock-holmes-is-everywhere-book?fbclid=IwAR14nwq3AgwVmxAveI9kJqoXIEC20nNJDsuJHIIvD0DFC7dYPtFHWni4oRs" style="font-style: italic;">Sherlock Holmes Is Everywhere</a> is a collection of scholarly essays on the different ways people connect to the great detective.<br />
<br />
According to the project,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
What makes Sherlock Holmes so special? Why is he one of the most recognizable characters in all of literature? How do people throughout the world connect to the character? Why is Sherlock Holmes embraced by the LGBTQ+ Community? Why do people collect Sherlock Holmes memorabilia? Why do people experience Sherlock Holmes in everything from Science Fiction to Martial Arts?</blockquote>
Derrick Belanger, Sonia Fetherston, BSI (""), and David Marcum are editing this volume that includes contributions from a variety of Sherlockians new and old from across the globe. Forty essays—including three from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself—capture the essence of why we love Sherlock Holmes.<br />
<br />
There are a variety of reward levels available that include paperback and hardcover copies of the book, ebooks, and other titles from Belanger Books.<br />
<br />
All proceeds from the essay collection will be donated to <a href="http://www.beaconsociety.com/">The Beacon Society</a>, a scion society of the BSI which provides scholarships to schools, libraries, and Sherlock Holmes groups for educational purposes.<br />
<br />
The deadline to <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1306925656/sherlock-holmes-is-everywhere-book?fbclid=IwAR14nwq3AgwVmxAveI9kJqoXIEC20nNJDsuJHIIvD0DFC7dYPtFHWni4oRs">join this project</a> is July 31, 2019.<br />

Remembering Freddie Jones

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Jones has gone" [SIGN] </b></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_PrqiSWVi4Y/XSYPfzZ0NFI/AAAAAAABGSU/s5tXkkq_z88dCd_9-QlUf0OoPoC5hSKXQCLcBGAs/s1600/Freddie%2BJones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="960" height="482" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_PrqiSWVi4Y/XSYPfzZ0NFI/AAAAAAABGSU/s5tXkkq_z88dCd_9-QlUf0OoPoC5hSKXQCLcBGAs/s640/Freddie%2BJones.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Freddie Jones, veteran actor of the stage, screen, and television, has died at the age of 91.<br />
<br />
His career began late—he worked at a chemical lab factory for ten years before deciding to pursue his hobby—but flourished over the years, resulting in 213 credits <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428086/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk1">on IMDb alone</a>. The general public probably knows him from such roles as Bytes, the sadistic alcoholic showman in <i>The Elephant Man</i>, Thufir Hawat in David Lynch's version of <i>Dune</i>, and most recently as Sandy Thomas in the British soap opera <i>Emmerdale</i>.<br />
<br />
But as with all things, we're interested in the connections to Sherlock Holmes here. Jones had a just a few of his own, but because he was so prolific, some of his non-Sherlockian roles intersected with other actors who themselves were in Holmesian films and shows.<br />
<br />
In our circles, Jones is primarily known from two roles from the 1980s. His first Sherlock Holmes-related appearance was in 1985 as Chester Cragwitch in Barry Levinson's <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090357/">Young Sherlock Holmes</a></i>. Cragwitch was the fourth intended victim of the Rame Tep, who was shot with a poisoned dart and subsequently attempted to kill Sherlock Holmes. It was only the appearance of Lestrade, who had pricked his finger on of the darts earlier, that saved the day.<br />
<br />
Jones's other major role in a Sherlock Holmes production was as Inspector Baynes, the wily and good humored detective on the case in "<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0685630/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_66">Wisteria Lodge</a>," from <i>The Return of Sherlock Holmes</i> by Granada. There was a good deal of energy masked beneath his relatively quiet demeanor in that role. And we seem to remember a video clip of Jeremy Brett speaking to an American audience (perhaps at a Sherlockian event in St. Louis?) about Freddie's appearance on set with a paper bag of jelly babies, which he jealously guarded against Brett's attempts to sample. [<i>Editor's note: if any of our readers have a source on that, we'd be grateful</i>.]<br />
<br />
There was one other small appearance in the Granada series: a cameo as a pedlar in "The Last Vampyre" in <i>The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes</i> in 1993.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Other connections</b></h3>
Given that his credits are so voluminous, it's no surprise that Jones had connections to other significant Sherlock Holmes actors.<br />
<br />
One of his earliest television appearances was as Claudius in the BBC's six-episode production of <i>The Caesars</i> in 1968. In that series, Sejanus was played by <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0408813/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t4">Barrie Ingham</a>, who played Basil in <i>The Great Mouse Detective</i>. <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0248324/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t11">Donald Eccles</a> played Nerva before going on to play the Reverend Duncan Nesbitt, who hallucinated about the stained glass knight in <i>Young Sherlock Holmes</i>.<br />
<br />
<i>The Caesars</i> is the gift that keeps on giving, with <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358772/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t32">Roger Hammond</a> as Pomponius. Astute viewers may remember him as Jabez Wilson in Granada's "The Red-Headed League." The other name that pops out is <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0603682/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t2">André Morrell</a>, who played Tiberius. Earlier, he played Dr. Watson to Peter Cushing's Sherlock Holmes in the 1959 Hammer production of <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i>.<br />
<br />
Which brings us to Peter Cushing himself. His Holmesian qualifications need no recap. Cushing reprised his role as Baron Frankenstein in the 1969 <i>Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed</i>, with Jones as Professor Richter, the asylum director whose body becomes the recipient of a transplanted brain, and ultimately "the creature."<br />
<br />
Given Freddie Jones's long tenure in entertainment—particularly British entertainment—he likely has numerous connections to other Sherlock Holmes productions. Six decades of experience likely give him more links than we'd get from a game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Perhaps you can add more in the comments below.<br />
<br />
But we did want to close on one final connection: Jones's own son Toby is a fine actor in his own right. And <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0429363/?ref_=nmbio_trv_1">Toby Jones</a> played Culverton Smith in the BBC <i>Sherlock</i> episode "The Dying Detective."<br />

Rousing Sherlock Holmes Discussions in June that You May Have Missed

Sign up for email updates and/or subscribe via your audio device for weekly updates every Wednesday, when we take about 15 minutes to talk about one or two issues that we've noticed within the Sherlock Holmes stories. It's an approach that we hope brings more people into our fold who are new to Sherlock Holmes and are fascinated with the details within the story, or who may have some questions about what they read.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's what you missed in <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/2019/06/" target="_blank">our June shows</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>June Update</b></h3>
If you've listened to more than one episode of Trifles, just a word of caution: <b>don't skip the intro or the final few seconds of each show</b>. We vary the introductions and we have a different closing quote from the Granada production on every episode. Collect them all!<br />
<br />
<br />
We began the month by celebrating what every young student (and their teachers) hail in June: <a href="https://ihose.co/trifles127">School's Out!</a> In this case, we looked at the boarding-schools and the Elementary Education Act that addressed the situation in England in the mid- to late-1800s.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="185" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-popups" scrolling="no" src="https://embed.radiopublic.com/e?if=sherlock-holmes-trifles-GqnV0O&ge=s1!038215a43a7155c2cf9626ef8d1a32fcf8232c63" width="100%"></iframe><br /></div>
<br />
<br />
We have a recurring theme of <b>Sports and Games</b>, and in this case we headed out to the links. <a href="https://ihose.co/trifles128">Fore!</a> Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson never golfed (or did they?), but golf did come up a handful of times. What was the context in each case?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="185" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-popups" scrolling="no" src="https://embed.radiopublic.com/e?if=sherlock-holmes-trifles-GqnV0O&ge=s1!fe19c3fcc342999206093322b066ce5659701e79" width="100%"></iframe><br /></div>
<br />
<br />
In our other regular monthly feature, <b>International Sherlock Holmes</b>, is a monthly look at various nationalities and countries in the Canon and how they impact the stories. This month, it's <a href="https://ihose.co/trifles129">Americans and Sherlock Holmes</a>, as we follow the trail across the United States.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="185" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-popups" scrolling="no" src="https://embed.radiopublic.com/e?if=sherlock-holmes-trifles-GqnV0O&ge=s1!b740dc04e728f91800d114aea80be7403a878213" width="100%"></iframe><br /></div>
<br />
<br />
And the month of June ends with us about <a href="https://ihose.co/trifles130">Watson's Club</a>. We know he spent time there, but given the gentlemen's clubs that existing in London and the time and what we know about Watson, which of the clubs was likely his?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="185" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-popups" scrolling="no" src="https://embed.radiopublic.com/e?if=sherlock-holmes-trifles-GqnV0O&ge=s1!46c0285e3e91f26d8cd4bf67cbfe7c7200e73c57" width="100%"></iframe><br /></div>

There are a handful of names in the pantheon of Sherlockians that are legendary: Morley. Bell. Smith. Starrett. Baring-Gould. And Shaw.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For as much as John Bennett Shaw influenced modern-day Sherlockians, we haven't spent much time discussing him or his impact. Fortunately, Jim Hawkins does just that. And he does it in a most wonderful way, both in this interview and more comprehensively on the website <a href="https://johnbennettshaw.com/">JohnBennettShaw.com</a> that he created.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Explore with us how Jim first became aware of Shaw and how he managed to find his way into that legendary library in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's a journey that includes a group as eclectic and wonderful as the Norman Nerudas, the oil fields of Oklahoma, a funeral home, and much more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
We also have another installment of "As We Go to Press" with Mattias Boström, co-editor of the <a href="https://wessexpress.com/html/newspaper4.html"><i>Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle in the Newspapers</i></a> series.
