Did you know Isaac Asimov was a member of the <a href="http://bakerstreetirregulars.com/" target="_blank">Baker Street Irregulars</a>? He received the investiture "The Remarkable Worm" in 1976 (as in "a matchbox in front of him which contained a remarkable worm, said to be unknown to science" [THOR]), in a nod to his profession. 
 
Isaac Asmiov was a prolific author who began his career as an associate professor of biochemistry at Boston University Medical School. After 1958, he made writing his full-time profession and became known for the <a href="https://amzn.to/35hb5lR" target="_blank">hundreds of science fiction works he created</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> from then until his death in 1992. Most notably are his <a href="https://amzn.to/2FfsYqE" target="_blank">Foundation</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0553382578" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> novels, <a href="https://amzn.to/37mm3rQ" target="_blank">I, Robot</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=055338256X" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> and some dozen history books including The Roman Republic<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0395065763" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> and The Roman Empire<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0395065771" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />. 
 
We were moved to write about Asimov because Glenn McDonald recently wrote a column on Pop Matters called "<a href="http://www.popmatters.com/pm/column/140101-sherlock-holmes-isaac-asimov-and-media-fasts/">How Sherlock Holmes and Isaac Asimov Can Help Purge your Social Media Addiction</a>." We won't give away the entire column, but McDonald mentioned how he recently acquired the complete collection of Basil Rathbone DVDs and how some of Asimov's titles have kept him off of Facebook and Twitter. 
 
Of most interest for us of course, is the intersection of Sherlock Holmes and Isaac Asimov. We already mentioned the BSI, but one of the relatively unknowns is a book of Sherlockian limericks that Asimov created, aptly titled <a href="https://amzn.to/2ZRqybq" target="_blank">Asimov's Sherlockian Limericks</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0892960396" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />. The author was a notorious limerick collector (most of them were of the ribald variety), but these are family-friendly. He created sixty limericks, each one summarizing the story for which it was titled. See if you can pick which stories are represented below. 
 
<div style="text-align: left;">
C.A.M. is the worst man uncaged;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Decent men who meet him are enraged.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
    He has blackmailing letters</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
    All involving his betters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But what's this? Sherlock Holmes is engaged?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
A bright tale of a dog and a horse 
(And there's also a murder, of course) 
    Which involves the odd fact 
    That the dog failed to act 
Which Holmes found of significant force 
 
Do you know which stories these recount? Leave us a comment!

Many Sherlockians are aware of how much influence <a href="http://www.siracd.com/work_bell.shtml">Joseph Bell</a> - one of Conan Doyle's medical teachers - had on the development on Holmes. In fact, it would be quite fascinating to postulate the kind of relationship that Bell & Doyle had, perhaps even as a precursor to the kind of relationship Doyle portrayed between Holmes and Watson.... 
 
Thankfully, a series of movies produced by the BBC a decade ago help redress that, and provide an entertaining slant on the Holmes/Watson Relationship. 
 
The series begins with 2000's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Beginnings-Sherlock-Holmes-Doyle/dp/B004ZEDJLY?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes - Dr. Bell & Mr. Doyle</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=B004ZEDJLY" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />, starring Robin Laing as Conan Doyle and Ian Richardson as Joseph Bell. Focusing on Doyle's experiences as a medical student, this is actually quite a gripping drama. There's a real-life twist in the plot (which is revealed by a caption at the end), but Ian Richardson takes a very strong Holmesian turn as Dr. Bell. (It doesn't hurt that he had portrayed Holmes some twenty years earlier). The script works because we are so familiar with the material (a consulting detective/his comrade in arms/that unique relationship with the police) that the premise seems all too familiar...and the twist that Bell/Doyle are showing their "influence" over Holmes and Watson doesn't seem forced or inevitable. 
 
One year later, Charles Edwards would take over the role of Doyle, and BBC made four Bell/Doyle movies under the umbrella title <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Murder-Rooms-Mysteries-Sherlock-Beginnings/dp/B0036BK6JU?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Murder Rooms: Mysteries of the Real 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=B0036BK6JU" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />. These four movies expand their relationship - we see Doyle's early life as a physician, but more importantly, we see a much greater fondness emerge between teacher and former student. Links to Holmes - and Doyle - are much more apparent in these films: "The Patient's Eyes" takes its central image from <a href="http://www.ignisart.com/camdenhouse/canon/soli.htm">"The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist"</a>; Doyle's nascent interest in spiritualism is hinted at in "The Photographer's Chair"; "The Kingdom of Bones" seems to contain elements of Doyle's later Professor Challenger work and foreshadows <a href="http://librivox.org/the-valley-of-fear-by-sir-arthur-conan-doyle/"></a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Valley-Fear-Sherlock-Mystery-Collection/dp/1451565976?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">The Valley of Fear</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=1451565976" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />; and "The White Knight Strategem" seems to contain a slightly Moriarity-esque figure. 
 
Sadly, although further Bell/Doyle adventures are hinted at, no further productions were made, nor are there plans to continue. However, for those who want a different flavor of Holmesian adventure - or who wish to imagine the influence that Joseph Bell truly had on Doyle's work - these two DVD sets (Dr. Bell & Mr. Doyle is not included in the same set as Murder Rooms) are quite excellent, and are some "hidden gems" that belong on your video shelf.

In his acceptance speech, Freeman remarked, "I really, really, really, really did...expect it," to peals of laughter. He credited Benedict Cumberbatch as "a fantastic Sherlock" and the scriptwriting of Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. He concluded with, "I know it's very fashionable to pretend you don't care about this stuff, but I'm very very chuffed."
