There's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOix4QgTCi8">a trailer available on YouTube</a> for the hour-long documentary <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003NVZGQG?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakstrblo-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B003NVZGQG"><b><i>The Man Who Murdered Sherlock Holmes</i></b></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=thebakstrblo-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B003NVZGQG" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />. As you may have surmised, the title refers to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his rather contentious relationship with his most famous creation.<br />
<br />
According to the description of the video:<br />
<blockquote>
<i>In the lead up to the launch of the SHERLOCK HOLMES movie, this 60 minute drama documentary uncovers the secrets behind the real Sherlock Holmes, looks at the possible codes within the stories, and finds that the real Holmes is more of an action hero and a surprise than most would imagine.</i></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<i>Interviews with Surgeons from the Royal College, literary experts and Holmes' officionados this really is a fascinating journey of discovery into the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of all time - why and who killed SHERLOCK HOLMES.</i></blockquote>
Those of you in the know may recognize a few Holmes and Doyle experts:  Owen Dudley Edwards, who edited portions of the 9-volume set <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Sherlock-Holmes-set/dp/0192123297?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">The Oxford Sherlock Holmes</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">; Roger Johnson, BSI ("The Pall Mall Gazette"), editor of <i><b><a href="http://www.sherlock-holmes.org.uk/journal.php">The Sherlock Holmes Society Journal</a></b></i>; and Catherine Cooke, BSI ("The 'Book of Life'"), Curator of the Sherlock Holmes Collection at the Marylebone Library in Westminster, London.</span></span></i></b><br />

<br />
Interesting piece of trivia: when we first watched it, the video had 221 views on it. We're not sure if that was purely a Canonical coincidence or if the creators artificially set it at that number.<br />

In <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2010/07/search-of-glor_3.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">one of our last posts</a>, we asked for connections between Leonard Nimoy and Sherlock Holmes, and you graciously submitted yours. Thank you for that!<br />
<br />
To those of you who were wondering what the connections are, we'll start with our own - we were thinking of three.<br />
<br />
1. After completing his run on the <a href="https://amzn.to/3tquWgf" target="_blank"><b><i>Star Trek</i></b></a><b><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001DHXT6G" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /></b> television series, Mr. Nimoy returned to the stage. In 1974, he played the title character in the U.S. tour of <a href="https://amzn.to/38SeOKR" target="_blank">William Gillette's play "Sherlock Holmes."</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001PDLR6M" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /><br />
<br />
2. Around that same time, Nimoy starred in a 15-minute short educational film called "Sherlock Holmes: Interior Motive," in which the origins of the Earth were explained. Here we have a short clip from it. Thankfully, it's not a long clip.<br />
<br />
<br />

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HRAIqnnSNIU?rel=0" width="640"></iframe></center>
<br />
<br />
3. In <a href="https://amzn.to/3DZUWDW" target="_blank"><b>Star Trek VI</b></a><b><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0000UJL96" style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /></b>, Nimoy (as Mr. Spock) used the quote, "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." He credited "an ancestor of mine" with saying it first.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for playing along! We'll see if we can develop similar quizzes and fun items for the future.<br />
<br />
