<br />
The U.S. Supreme Court today <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/03/us-usa-court-copyright-idUSKBN0IN1D420141103" target="_blank">has ended the longstanding copyright dispute</a> between Leslie S. Klinger and the Conan Doyle Estate, Ltd. by refusing to hear arguments, according to Reuters.<br />
<br />
You'll recall that the CDE wanted to extract a licensing fee of $5,000 from Mr. Klinger for use of the characters in the upcoming book <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2QFw0JZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">In the Company of Sherlock Holmes</a></i>. Klinger objected, arguing that he was not using any copyrighted material and that the characters themselves could not be copyrighted. The business entity that is the CDE argued that the characters were not complete until Conan Doyle completed the Canon (which would have made things like the 1916 William Gillette film a bit difficult to make).<br />
<br />
The argument was heard by the U.S. District Court and the decision was reached for the plaintiff; the Conan Doyle Estate appealed and the case went to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which also agreed with the plantiff.<br />
<br />
Well, that wasn't going to stand with the business entity that is the spawn of Sir Arthur's two greedy sons Denis and <strike>Adrenaline</strike> Adrian; the CDE immediately filed an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court on July 11 following that ruling. <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2014/07/the-us-supreme-court-denies-conan-doyle.html#.VFen5_nF-AU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The petition was denied</a> on July 18.<br />
<br />
And then, to show how vehemently they did agree with the plaintiff, the <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2014/08/7th-circuit-orders-conan-doyle-estate.html#.VFela_nF-AU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7th Circuit Ordered the Conan Doyle Estate To Pay Legal Fees, Give Up "Extortion"</a>.<br />
<br />
Not knowing when they've been defeated (lawyers are trained to argue and more importantly, are trained to win), the legal team gave what we could only determine was extremely poor advice by taking their now 0-3 record to the Supreme Court (SCOTUS). Time and again, the CDE was shown the folly of its arguments, and like a willfully blind toddler caught up in a tantrum, it chose to push ahead and waste the resources of all parties involved.<br />
<br />
And now, we can rest easy as the SCOTUS decision clearly puts the first 50 stories in the public domain.<br />
<br />
We've covered the <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/search/label/%23FreeSherlock#.VFel0vnF-AV" target="_blank">#FreeSherlock movement extensively</a> here (click the link for all articles). From <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2013/12/special-episode-free-sherlock.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">our interview with Les Klinger, BSI</a> ("The Abbey Grange") to the most s<a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2014/08/7th-circuit-orders-conan-doyle-estate.html#.VFepevnF-AU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cathing and delicious court order to pay up</a>, we've been interested bystanders and reporters.<br />
<br />
We're proud of our fellow Irregular Les Klinger and extremely grateful for all that he has done for the Sherlockian community. For Sherlock Holmes belongs to us all.<br />

<br />
Believe it or not, today marks what would have been Jeremy Brett's 81st birthday. It seems unthinkable to imagine the definitive Sherlock Holmes from the 1980s and 1990s as an octogenarian, and even more unthinkable that it has been nearly 20 years since he left us.<br />
<br />
As a tribute to his memory, we give you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J_VJHMCTmY" target="_blank">this interview</a> from a British morning television show:<br />

And this video compilation of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UOTIW83oXs" target="_blank">the best Sherlock Holmes quotes</a> from the Granada series (Season 1) is as nice as any:<br />

[<b><i>Editor's note:</i></b> the following is a guest post by Robert S. Katz, BSI ("Dr. Ainstree"), who knew Marv Aronson well.] </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Marvin E. Aronson, BSI ("Penrose Fisher") passed away on September 6, 2014.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marv was a forensic pathologist and served for several years as Chief Medical Examiner of the City of Philadelphia. He was also an active member of the Sons of the Copper Beeches and a Master Copper Beech Smith for nearly fifty years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marv contributed articles on forensic medicine to <i><a href="http://bakerstreetjournal.com/">The Baker Street Journal</a></i> and to the volumes published by the Copper Beeches. Marv was responsible for sending out the invitations and receiving payments for the semi-annual meetings of the Sons. He sat at a table near the door and handed out name tags. As such, he was the first person to greet each arriving member of the group. Marv, a jovial man with a distinctive moustache, always had a witty remark for each member and made us all feel comfortable and glad to be there. He had a dry and cynical wit, which he often employed to provide a running commentary on presentations made at the meetings. His comments were usually more entertaining than the speeches themselves.</div>
<div>
  <br />
On a personal note, I had the opportunity to spend time with Marv during my own training in pathology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, in the late 1970s. Marv was then Chief Medical Examiner and his department was located just down the street from our hospital. I often sneaked out on quiet afternoons and observed Marv and his staff performing forensic autopsies. I also was permitted to attend the "cause of death" conferences he conducted along with the police department.  Marv was a perceptive and skilled pathologist, with a sharp mind that rapidly assessed the salient points of each case. I learned a lot from my time with him and appreciated the kindness he showed a very junior pathology resident. Of course, it didn't hurt that I was also a Sherlockian! <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Marv was an integral part of the Philadelphia Sherlockian scene for decades. His knowledge and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.<br />

In <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose68" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 68</a>, we explored some of the early days of Sherlock Holmes on radio with Bert Coules. We're pleased to present the second part of that episode as we make a deeper dive into Sherlock Holmes as portrayed in radio productions.<br />
<br />
The bulk of our conversation with Bert centers — appropriately so — around the BBC Radio 4 series starring Clive Merrison and Michael Williams (<a href="https://amzn.to/2ZfyLYP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon</a>). After selling a dramatized version of <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i> to the BBC (which starred Roger Rees), Bert was given the green light to dramatize all 60 Sherlock Holmes stories, serving as the head writer.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Bert discusses the casting of the new series, including what was required in a Watson that was an equal partner — and a zinger aimed at Nigel Bruce — as well as the increased comfort felt by the characters and actors over the course of the series recording. You may be surprised to learn how the stories were assigned to the writing team (a scientific method from the BBC, no doubt) and how the writers were "imaginatively faithful" to the stories. Not to mention the backstory behind an alternative ending to "The Solitary Cyclist."<br />

<br />
<br />
Of particular interest for us in this show is a multitude of sound clips from the BBC series - including the music that played such a prominent role in some episodes. We did a bit of our own sound design in this episode in keeping with the spirit of the theme.<br />
<br />
We also discuss some of the more intriguing guest stars on the series, such as Peter Sallis, Desmond Llewelyn, Brian Blessed and Tom Baker, as well as the "new" Watson during <i>The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</i>, Andrew Sachs. Bert has a great story about how he ended the series in a manner than ensured it will not be continued.<br />
