The sun rising over the peaceful blue Earth. VOICE OVER The Monks have been with us from the beginning. Primordial soup: a fish heaves itself from the swamp, its little fins work like pistons to drag itself up the bank, across the sandy earth. The most important and monumental struggle in the planet’s history. It bumps into the foot of a Monk, waiting for it. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) They shepherded humanity through its formative years, gently guiding and encouraging. Cave paintings: primitive man. Before them, what can only be a Monk. It holds a spear, presenting it to the tribe of men. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) Like a parent clapping their hands at a baby's first steps. Another cave painting: a herd of buffalo, pursued by the men, spears and arrows protruding from their hides. Above and to the right, watching, two Monks. Benign sentinels. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) They have been instrumental in all the advances of technology and culture. Photograph: Edison, holding a lightbulb. The arm and shoulder of a Monk next to him, creeping into the frame. VOICE OVER (CONT’D) They watched proudly as man invented the lightbulb, the telephone, the internet... Photograph: the iconic shot of Einstein halfway through writing the equation for the theory of relativity on a blackboard.

    Blink by Steven Moffat EXT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE - NIGHT Big forbidding gates. Wrought iron, the works. A big modern padlock on. Through the gates, an old house. Ancient, crumbling, overgrown. Once beautiful - still beautiful in decay. Panning along: on the gates - DANGER, KEEP OUT, UNSAFE STRUCTURE -- The gates are shaking, like someone is climbing them -- -- and then a figure drops into a view on the other side. Straightens up into a close-up. SALLY SPARROW. Early twenties, very pretty, just a bit mad, just a bit dangerous. She's staring at the house, eyes shining. Big naughty grin. SALLY Sexy! And she starts marching up the long gravel drive ... CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. HALLWAY - NIGHT The big grand house in darkness, huge sweeping staircase, shuttered window, debris everywhere -- One set of shutters buckles from an impact from the inside, splinters. SALLY SPARROW, kicking her away in -- CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. HALLWAY/ROOMS - NIGHT SALLY, clutching a camera. Walks from one room to another. Takes a photograph. Her face: fascinated, loving this creepy old place. Takes another photograph. CUT TO: INT. WESTER DRUMLINS HOUSE. CONSERVATORY ROOM - NIGHT In the conservatory now - the windows looking out on a darkened garden. And a patch of rotting wallpaper catches SALLY'S eye -- 2. High on the wall, just below the picture rail, a corner of wallpaper is peeling away, drooping mournfully down from the wall -- -- revealing writing on the plaster behind. Just two letters we can see - BE - the beginning of a word -- She reaches up on tiptoes and pulls at the hanging frond of wallpaper.

  • June 2016 President: Vice President: Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace
    No. 495 - June 2016 President: Vice President: Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Nothing like a Dame (make that two!) The VW’s Shakespeare party this year marked Shakespeare’s 452nd birthday as well as the 400th anniversary of his death. The party was a great success and while London, Stratford and many major cultural institutions went, in my view, a bit over-bard (sorry!), the VW’s party was graced by the presence of two Dames - Joan Plowright and Eileen Atkins, two star Shakespeare performers very much associated with the Old Vic. The party was held in the Old Vic rehearsal room where so many greats – from Ninette de Valois to Laurence Olivier – would have rehearsed. Our wonderful Vice-President, Nickolas Grace, introduced our star guests by talking about their associations with the Old Vic; he pointed out that we had two of the best St Joans ever in the room where they would have rehearsed: Eileen Atkins played St Joan for the Prospect Company at the Old Vic in 1977-8; Joan Plowright played the role for the National Theatre at the Old Vic in 1963. Nickolas also read out a letter from Ronald Pickup who had been invited to the party but was away in France. Ronald Pickup said that he often thought about how lucky he was to have six years at the National Theatre, then at Old Vic, at the beginning of his career (1966-72) and it had a huge impact on him. Dame Joan Plowright Dame Joan Plowright then regaled us with some of her memories of the Old Vic, starting with the story of how when she joined the Old Vic school in 1949 part of her ‘training’ was moving chairs in and out of the very room we were in.

We’re in a large, red- walled room, suffocating in Victorian bric-a-brac. Track past a series of strange still-lifes. Those oddly disturbing Victorian tableaux - colourful birds stuffed and arranged on twigs, surrounded by artificial flowers and under big glass bell-jars. Gas-light glints in the creatures’ beady glass eyes. The playing stops and a woman rises from the organ. We don’t see her face as she runs her hand over the line of bell-jars.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2021
    Jan 21 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) did not gather in New York to celebrate the Great Detective’s 167th birthday this year, but the somewhat shorter long weekend offered plenty of events, thanks to Zoom and other modern technol- ogy. Detailed reports will be available soon at the web-site of The Baker Street Irregulars <www.bakerstreetirregulars.com>, but here are few brief paragraphs to tide you over: The BSI’s Distinguished Speaker on Thursday was Andrew Lycett, the author of two fine books about Conan Doyle; his topic was “Conan Doyle’s Questing World” (and close to 400 people were able to attend the virtual lecture); the event also included the announcement by Steve Rothman, editor of the Baker Street Journal, of the winner of the Morley-Montgomery Award for the best article the BSJ last year: Jessica Schilling (for her “Just His Type: An Analysis of the Découpé Warning in The Hound of the Baskervilles”). Irregulars and guests gathered on Friday for the BSI’s annual dinner, with Andrew Joffe offering the traditional first toast to Nina Singleton as The Woman, and the program continued with the usual toasts, rituals, and pap- ers; this year the toast to Mrs. Hudson was delivered by the lady herself, splendidly impersonated by Denny Dobry from his recreation of the sitting- room at 221B Baker Street. Mike Kean (the “Wiggins” of the BSI) presented the Birthday Honours (Irregular Shillings and Investitures) to Dan Andri- acco (St. Saviour’s Near King’s Cross), Deborah Clark (Mrs. Cecil Forres- ter), Carla Coupe (London Bridge), Ann Margaret Lewis (The Polyphonic Mo- tets of Lassus), Steve Mason (The Fortescue Scholarship), Ashley Polasek (Singlestick), Svend Ranild (A “Copenhagen” Label), Ray Riethmeier (Mor- rison, Morrison, and Dodd), Alan Rettig (The Red Lamp), and Tracy Revels (A Black Sequin-Covered Dinner-Dress).
