The Norwood Builder - Part 6 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not as good as the book, but still worth watching.

"That privilege must surely be mine."

The noise you just heard was sound of jaws dropping in wonder at the massive amounts of awesome.

Quite true. And Lestrade shows his true character when he's big enough to admit that Holmes was right and he was wrong.

@nebraskame i think he poor fresh wax onto the original...the pulled it out and then used it

@talitakoomi You are most welcome. I've never read "A Study in Scarlet" but I will - thanks for the tip!

[talitakoomi]

@sparrowa02 Much thanks!! I love Sherlock! Maybe it's that whole "inaccessability" thing that's so enticing....he was the first of the great detectives! Everybody else just borrowed from Arthur Conan-Doyle's brilliance. Ever read "A Study in Scarlet"? T'would make a great movie- but the Mormons would have a COW!!! :)

@talitakoomi Hi there. In this TV series, Moriarty first appears at the very end of "The Red Headed League" and then again in "The Final Problem" when he goes over the Reichenbach Falls. In the actual books, he appears first in "The Final Problem' and then later in a story called "The Valley of Fear" which was written before the "Final problem", but was published afterwards.

[talitakoomi]

Anyone know in which story Holmes first hears of Moriarity? I know that "Final Problem" is the one where they go over the falls, but what is the one before it? And which is the story directly following Holmes' "death"? Thanks for your help!

@nebraskame In the short story Oldacre makes a wax impression from the seal, thus ensuring the final print would be the right way round. In fact, in this program you can briefly see Oldacre doing it with a white candle. But this explanation seems to have been cut for clairity.

@Kooshmeister3 Hi Koo. I'm dylexic and can tell I wrote this at night when I was tired. Bad spelling. It would be interesting to know the laws of the time. I've recently come on a series that is excellent called, "Gallows Law." Do see it. The first police called, "Runners." I have a book on them and how English police were formed. People were robbed in broad daylight in London in their carriages and society got sick of it. A man organized police to stop it. Got $ from the govenment.

@Songsmirth Since the debts weren't mentioned in the will it was drafted with incomplete information, and it was made under false pretenses as well. I know little about British law at the time but possibly this could invalidate it?

@nebraskame clever! ...of course it would

[nebraskame]

If he took the wax thumb mark and pressed it on the wall to leave a bloody thumb print, wouldn't the thumb print be backwards (mirror image)?
