1/6 Arthur Conan Doyle, Murder Detective

[jane3eyre]

I was in an oratory course - and needed to give an 'informative' speech and had yet to select a topic. My professor suggested Sherlock Holmes- or something about him. I was always a fan- so I went with the connection of Holmes, Doyle, and Bell. I gave the speech - [was smashing - top grade] -and after my professor tells me - 'I did my doctoral thesis on Holmes. I always suggest him - but I can tell you're the only one who ever read Doyle before I mentioned him. Hah - good times!

This documentary is very interesting.

I can't believe though that most of the music is taken from Donnie Darko's soundtrack (which is a good soundtrack to a great movie)

The first detective was created not by Doyle, but by Poe. The fictitious C. Auguste Dupin.

How Doyle and Sir Bernard Spilsbury, his close friend and London medical forensic pioneer, wd have marvelled at the latest scientific development of our time, namely, 'Touch DNA', obtained from fingerprints and minute transfer of the murderers skin cell DNA from ligatures recovered from murder scenes. Certain ropes are like DNA skin sample collectors (unless the crim is wearing gloves). Hard to tie knots with gloves on! Rough rope scrapes lots of skin off hands which touch it. Touch DNA rules!

Sherlock Holmes was real?! "It's elementary my dear Watson." XD Sorry I had to.

Yes Virginia, there is a Sherlock Holmes! He exists as certainly as reason and intelligence and a sense of justice exist... Conan Doyle was an educated doctor, a compelling writer, romantic dreamer and a cunning sleuth; a real modern Renaissance man. Thanks for posting GW, it was entertaining and informative, as usual.

Ooooh, so chilling! Thanks for another compelling spooky upload.

As far as I am concerned he really did exist. I loved Conan Doyles stories.

5 stars as always =)

@Missdublinchick In " a study in scarlett" Watson mentions Dupin to Sherlock, but Sherlock (Conan Doyle), to put it mildly, shrugs Dupin of as a complete amateur. Just a fun fact I thought.

Thanks for uploading this GW :)

this is really a funny coincidence since i was just discussing with a friend on a forum how the Conan vs Arsine Lupin III and that one Batman BaB episode are the 100th celebration for the crossover between Sherlock Holmes and the original Lupin and now i`m watching this XD
