THE FURTHER ADVENTURES of SHERLOCK HOLMES 1998 - Present THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES 1998 - Present A Radio Series Broadcast Log By: Stewart Wright Initial Compilation: 03/14/2001 Last Update: 04/30/2019 Copyright 2001 - 2019 by Stewart Wright This broadcast log may not be reproduced or distributed, in whole or part, in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying or recording, or by any information storage or retrieval system without permission from the author, Stewart M. Wright. First Show: 03/08/1998. Last Show: Series is still in production. Number of Shows: 135 and counting. Audition Show: none. STATUS NOTES: Effective Friday, March 31, 2017 Jim French Productions has ceased the production of the weekly syndicated version of Imagination Theatre. Starting in July 2017, new episodes of The Adventures of Harry Nile and The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are being produced on a less frequent basis. These episodes will only be broadcast on Seattle radio station KIXI and they will be available for listening on the Imagination Theatre YouTube channel SERIES BACKGROUND: The Further Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes was produced by Jim French and was concerned with additional adventures of the world's first and most famous consulting detective. In the early 1990's, Jim French had attempted to write a Sherlock Holmes script to air on The KIRO Mystery Playhouse, but did not complete it. Jim he'd written himself into a corner and set it aside so he could work on scripts for The Adventures of Harry Nile and other projects. Later, Lawrence Albert was working in Jim‛s office, came across the unfinished script, read it, and encouraged him to complete it. Lawrence talked to a mutual friend who knew how to, contact the American lawyer who represented the Doyle estate. Jim spoke with the lawyer, sent him samples of his work, and was granted a franchise to write and produce original radio dramas using the characters Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had created. Page 1 of 14 April 30, 2019 Currently The Further Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes (episodes 129 to the present) are aired as part of Jim French‛s Imagination Theatre on KIXI in Seattle. It is also heard around the world over the Internet. Effective September 11, 2016 selected episodes of The Classic Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are airing on the Sirius/XM satellite RadioClassics Channel #148. Previously, the series was heard in the Seattle area as part of Imagination Theatre on KIXI (episodes 034-128), Imagination Theatre on KNWX (episodes 014-033), The PEMCO Imagination Theatre on KNWX (episodes 009-013), and The KIRO Mystery Playhouse on KIRO (episodes 001-008.) SERIES DESCRIPTION: As the series title implies, these adventures are not dramatizations of the original Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They are rather, pastiches, completely new adventures that remain faithful to the spirit, style, and tone of the original stories. Even Holmes' addiction to cocaine was alluded to in "The Billingsgate Horror" episode. Holmes admits, "My mind needs a stimulant, other than the kind I used to keep in my drawer." Two episodes of this series are based on Conan Doyle short stories: "The Adventure of the Parisian Assassin" adapted from "The Lost Special" and "The Lady Sannox Investigation" adapted as "The Case Of Lady Sannox." Most of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson literature are now in the public domain, however, Jim French has gone to the effort of making an arrangement with the estate of Dame Jean Conan Doyle for the use of these and other characters in his radio dramatizations. The Dr. Watson character, as played by Lawrence Albert, is no bumbler; he is Holmes' trusted and respected friend, associate, and confidant. Watson often discovers valuable clues that aid in the solving of their cases. Jim French is especially proud of the salute given his series by the BBC's "Radio 4" programme, which played an excerpt of one of his shows to their listeners in England, commenting with some surprise that all the actors were Americans, and calling it "one of the best radio dramas currently available in the English language."

Mary and her mother were immigrants from Ireland and were descended from landed Irish Catholic and protestant stock. They supplemented their meagre income by taking in lodgers, one of whom was Charles Doyle. In 1864 Charles's growing alcoholism led to a temporary breakup during which Arthur was domiciled at Liberton Bank with sisters of the historiographer-royal for Scotland, John Hill Burton, who influenced the young Doyle's development as historian and bibliophile. Early life and education In 1867 the Doyle family reunited and inhabited the overcrowded tenement flats at 3 Sciennes Place, Edinburgh, the poorer half of a Newington cul-de-sac.

  • 1. Arthur Conan Doyle and the American West Jessica R. Valdez
    1. Arthur Conan Doyle and the American West Jessica R. Valdez Most adaptations of A Study in Scarlet leave out the novel’s second half, when it is revealed that the London murders were part of a revenge plot. In this half, an omniscient narrator envisions a mysterious American West tamed by a group of despotic Mormons. Scholarship has long analyzed the use of orientalism in Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, whether in reference to India, as in “The Speckled Band,” or in depictions of London, as in the opium den scene of “The Man with the Twisted Lip.” This paper considers Arthur Conan Doyle’s construction of the “East” alongside his first novel’s vision of the American West. By drawing upon intersecting approaches to imagining the American West and the “East,” Conan Doyle conveys a pervasive anxiety surrounding the United States and the kind of defused power it came to represent in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This paper is part of a larger project that analyzes the imaginative significance of competing empires (the United States and China) in shaping nineteenth-century British anxieties about democracy. British writers saw the United States alternately as a land of democratic promise and as a country ruled by despotic majority. China, on the other hand, was seen as timeless and unchanging, governed by what John Stuart Mill calls the “despotism of Custom.” I contend that British writers navigated debates about democracy by blurring together conceptual opposites: figures of Asian despotism and American democracy. Jessica R. Valdez is an assistant professor of English at the University of Hong Kong.

  • Tales of Terror and Mystery
    Tales of Terror and Mystery By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Prepared and Published by: Ebd E-BooksDirectory.com Contents Tales of Terror The Horror of the Heights The Leather Funnel The New Catacomb The Case of Lady Sannox The Terror of Blue John Gap The Brazilian Cat Tales of Mystery The Lost Special The Beetle-Hunter The Man with the Watches The Japanned Box The Black Doctor The Jew's Breastplate Ebd E-BooksDirectory.com Tales of Terror The Horror of the Heights The idea that the extraordinary narrative which has been called the Joyce-Armstrong Fragment is an elaborate practical joke evolved by some unknown person, cursed by a perverted and sinister sense of humour, has now been abandoned by all who have examined the matter. The most macabre and imaginative of plotters would hesitate before linking his morbid fancies with the unquestioned and tragic facts which reinforce the statement. Though the assertions contained in it are amazing and even monstrous, it is none the less forcing itself upon the general intelligence that they are true, and that we must readjust our ideas to the new situation. This world of ours appears to be separated by a slight and precarious margin of safety from a most singular and unexpected danger. I will endeavour in this narrative, which reproduces the original document in its necessarily somewhat fragmentary form, to lay before the reader the whole of the facts up to date, prefacing my statement by saying that, if there be any who doubt the narrative of Joyce-Armstrong, there can be no question at all as to the facts concerning Lieutenant Myrtle, R.

    Jan 16 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 162nd birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 13 to Jan. 17. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at the Press Box and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was Jeffrey Hatcher, author of the plays "Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Suicide Club" and "Sherlock Holmes and the Ice Palace Murders", and the screenplay for the film "Mr. Holmes"; his talk was titled "Casting Holmes" (and it will be published in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal). The Baker Street Babes's festivities (this year called the "Daintiest Thing in a Dressing Gown Pyjama Party") at The Players featured drinking and din- ing, as well as costumes, revelry, and an auction benefiting the Disabled American Veterans Trust. The William Gillette Luncheon at the Fillmore Room was well attended, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Andrew Joffe, and Sarah Montague) entertained the audience with a look at what happened when Dr. and Mrs. Watson sought marriage counseling. The event also was the oc- casion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year: the winner (Steve Mason) received a cer- tificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17.

    Jan 17 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 163rd birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 4 to Jan. 8. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's). The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker on Thursday evening was Sara Paretsky, author of the continuing series of novels about private eye V. I.

The William Gillette Luncheon at Connolly's was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street entertained the audience with an updated look at Sherlock Holmes' encounters with the telephone. The lunch- eon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan WHIMSEY Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year: the winner was Bob Stek, who received both a certificate and a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17.
