1:04
episode of Sherlock Holmes. A Scandal in Bohemia, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,
1:25
The Original and Immortal Stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle dramatized Daniel with Sir
1:32
Ralph Richardson as Doctor Watson and Sir John Gielgood in the role of Sherlock Holmes.
1:56
To Sherlock Holmes, she was always the woman, the woman Watson,
2:04
the most elegant, the most enchanting of her sex. Born in New Jersey
2:07
in the year eighteen hundred and fifty eight, Prima Donna la Scala Imperial Opera
2:13
of Warsaw retired from the operetic stage to live in London. The woman Watson,
2:21
irene adler. I remain mister Sherlock Holmes, yours very truly irene admirer.
2:51
It was in eighteen eighty eight that we encountered her. Seven years have
2:57
gone by since my own first meeting with Sherlock Home. Perhaps in my humble
3:01
way, I'd even enhanced his fame a little. Then I admitted and returned
3:07
to medical practice in Paddington. But one March evening, returning from a visit
3:13
to a patient, my way led me through Baker Street, and so towards
3:17
the well remembered door of number two hundred and twenty one B. Who is
3:32
it, Oh Watson, what a splendid piece of luck. I'm delighted.
3:38
Really, you're the very man I most wanted to see. Yeah, then
3:43
I can sit down, my dear fellow, sit down the old chair.
3:47
Oh you can't think how lost I've been lately without my boss. Will thank
3:51
you? Thank you. By the way, you didn't tell me you intended
3:54
to go back into practice, But how'd you know? I had? You
3:58
know my methods, Watson. If a gentleman walks into my room smelling of
4:01
eyouda foreman with a bulge in his top hat to show where he secreted his
4:04
stethoscope. I'd surely be very dull. Indeed, if I didn't know he
4:08
was an active member of the medical profession. For myself, homes is t
4:12
ill store. This is care's daylight when you're explain it on her. And
4:15
yet I'd say, my eyes but nearly as good as yours for observation in
4:19
now? Or you think so? Do you then pray? Make use of
4:21
them? Now, Watson, and tell me what you see in this letter
4:26
that has just come by special messenger. Read it. They will call upon
4:32
mister Sherlock Holmes tonight, a gentleman who desires to consult him his recent services
4:39
to one of the royal houses of Europe. Oh, we've shown that mister
4:44
Holmes may safely be trusted with methods of the utmost discretion. He is not
4:48
to take it amiss if he's a visitor wears a mask. Ha ha,
4:53
Well, well, just sir Watson, intriguing, Is it not earthly?
4:57
Imagine it can mean home? Well, I have no data yet, and
4:59
it's fundamental mistake. The theory is before one has some data. But the
5:03
note paper man, what do you deduced from that? Oh, it's very
5:09
thick tinted pink. Couldn't be brought from the half a crown a packet,
5:14
I'd say, so the right, I must be fairly well to do.
5:16
It's rather rather a peculiar paper. That's the very word, Watson. It
5:21
isn't English paper at all, you see. Hold it up to the light
5:24
and look at the watermark large E, small G, large P, large
5:30
G, with a small key, which stands quite simply for get cell shaft
5:35
German for company. The P is for papier, of course, and the
5:39
eg for Egria. A glance at the open Continental gazetteer on the table there
5:44
will show you, Watson, that, huh, it's the only city in
5:49
a German speaking country where the main factories are paper mills. You've marked at
5:55
homes wonderful, not so far from Carl's bed, and in Bohemia quite so.
5:59
What's and since our distinguished visitor, But here he comes, if I'm
6:09
not mistaken, in a broom and fair by the sound of it, and
6:13
a pair of beauties at that, I'd guess. Look there you see a
6:18
hundred and fifteen is a piece. There's horses or I'm no judge. There's
6:21
money in this case if there's nothing else, Watson, And here I'd break
6:27
my narrative for a moment to describe our singular visitor of that far off evening,
6:31
six feet in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules,
6:36
a deep blue cloak lined with flame colored silk, an opulent and barbaric apparition,
6:43
indeed in our drab old England, and across his face a black wizard
6:47
mask. You had my note, Heir homes I did. Indeed, Sir,
6:58
Pray, take a seat and tell me who might have the honor of
7:00
addressing your marry thirt to me as the Count van come in Bohemian nobermancer and
7:05
this gentleman, Oh, this is my colleague, doctor Watson, upon whose
7:10
honor and discretion you may completely rely. Well, certainly, I'm not in
7:14
the habit of discussing my private affairs before a stranger. However discreet, it's
7:19
still Watson. You must confide in both of us, or neither your majesty.
7:27
But why should you think, Watson Pray take his majesty's mask? It
7:30
is a needless inconvenience. Yeah, are you all right? I am the
7:34
King. Why should I attempt to concede it from your sharp eyes? Why
7:39
indeed, your Majesty had hardly spoken a word before I was aware that I
7:42
was addressing Wilhelm godsreischon Ormstein, Grand Duke of Castle Felstein and Hereditary King of
7:48
Bohemia. I have come in compnito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.
7:53
Then, pray, consult your Majesty, the doctor and I are all
7:56
attention. If the facts are these, then, gentlemen, and I was
8:00
in Vassa five years ago I made the acquaintance of a lady whose name made
8:05
it familiar to you, the adventuress Irene outline adventurous, your Majesty, I
8:11
know of the celebrated Prima Donna, of course, and adventureless. Gentlemen,
8:13
I use the word deliberately on I see. I take it then that your
8:18
Majesty became somewhat indiscreetly involved with this young person I did. I will not
8:26
deny it. I was young, I was only the crown Prince then,
8:30
and there were some compromising letters, no doubt which your Majesty, which is
8:33
me to recover precisely. But how did you know? Because I know something
8:37
of the world, your majesty, even sitting in this humble room of man
8:41
in Baker Street. There was no secret marriage or anything of that sort.
8:45
None here, Holmes and I failed to follow you, sir. If the
8:48
lady should produce her letters for blackmail or any other purpose, how would she
8:52
be able to prove their authenticity? Do you think I did not ask her
8:54
so? Hair Holmes, when I begged for their return, I asked her
8:58
that very question. How was she to prove the authentive? But you're writing,
9:05
Wilhelm, it's so distinctive, had been part of your private notepaper.
9:09
Will Hell your seal, Wilhelm your photograph? Will Hell not I? And
9:18
you are with out theake case again? And you'll forget Wilhelm. You surely
9:24
forget, my dear friend. What do I forget? That we are both
9:26
in the photograph together, hand in hand, love, love, Wilhelm and
9:33
a little too much Champagne, perhaps just a little the magic magic nighte.
9:39
You wasn't dare to expose no, Wilhelm. But I may consider myself to
9:45
have been deeply wronged. You can have half my part. You promised it
9:48
to me before I beg of you. I am to be mad. So
9:54
I've heard your majesty to the second daughter of the King of Scandinavia, most
10:00
politic mesh. She will be enchanted, no doubt, when I send her
10:03
the photograph on the day that your betrothal is proclaimed, My dear, that
10:09
very day, Oh Wilhelm, Wilhelm, poor compromised, Wilhelm. I tell
10:22
you that she will do it, Heir Homes. If only you knew her,
10:24
you would never doubt it for a moment. She always keeps her word.
10:28
There are no lengths she would not go to rather than that I should
10:31
marry another woman. So it appears you've made some attempt yourself, Sir,
10:35
no doubt to recover the photograph five and none successful. And when will your
10:41
betrothal be made public, your Majesty, on Monday next Then we still have
10:45
three whole days, Watson. It's really quite a pretty little problem in its
10:48
own way. You must place yourself entirely at my disposal, Heir Homes,
10:52
that my marriage should take places of political consequence to all Europe. I should
10:56
be most happy to save all Europe soon as I've dealt with one or two
11:01
other small matters that are already engaging my attention at the moment. Good Night,
11:05
your majesty, Doctor Watson will show you out. Do you promise me
11:07
success? Your manner is somewhat casual, and me saying if you leave me
11:11
in address, I shall drop you a line. You will find me at
11:15
the Langham under the name Van Cramp. Thank you. And as to money,
11:20
you have carte blanche for immediate expenses. This bag contains three hundred pounds
11:24
in gold and seven hundred notes. Or will you take charge of this Watson?
11:28
Just one more question, your majesty. The photograph you speak of was
11:33
cabinet size. It was, and you will surely require this artless address as
11:37
well. Well, it might be as well to have it. Yeah it
11:39
is bryonly large Serpentine Avenue, Saint John's Wood. Yeah, good naughtire homes
11:48
or ze doctor. Good night, it's your majesty, so be again.
11:58
Then our problem will averting the threatenscandal in Bohemia. I called on Holmes next
12:05
evening and found him in the disguise of a drunken looking horse groom. Pass
12:09
me my makeup trade, wouldward Watson, and I'll tell you the whole thing
12:13
while I remove the semblance of the inebriated Bert Stevens, and back to Sherlock
12:18
Holmes. Well, no, into someone else. I fancy, yes,
12:24
an amiable nonconformist clergyman. I think that should serve admirably rather simple minded,
12:31
perhaps white haired and short sighted. Now look here I have the whole outfit
12:37
ready. You see a baggy trousers, broad black hats, extends on the
12:41
west cars sndly. I suppose you want me to serve as your curate,
12:46
even more simple minded, no known as yourself Watson. Oh, forgive me,
12:50
my dear fellow. I didn't mean wow quite so. Now while you're
12:54
making up, tell me the tale of your adventures homes very well, it
12:58
happened like this. What's there? Was I Sherlock Holmes got up as a
13:03
horse coper, sitting in the pub opposite watching Brian a lodge. Of course,
13:07
I stood the local cabby to a bier and soon got all the information
13:11
I wanted about this Eddler. About miss Edler, she's the daintiest thing under
13:15
a bonnet. It appears she's turned the head of every man in the neighborhood.
13:18
Pass me the cold cream, would you, Watson? Or does she
13:20
have a great many male visitors. Only one. That's the very crux of
13:24
the whole matter. One moment, I must just wipen my eyebrows. This
13:28
visitor of miss Adler's Watson, a certain mister Godfrey Norton of the Inner Temple,
13:33
very darkened, dashing. So my friend the Cabby told me when you
13:37
were the Assler exactly. And while I was watching, our dashing gentleman friend
13:39
rushes up to the house in a tearing hurry, stops there for half an
13:43
hour, and then rushes out against shouting for a cab nevil Cabby cross and
13:48
hangs in the duelism region street and then charge to Saint Monica and Edgware Road
13:52
Harmer's sovern to be do it in twenty minutes, And a moment later,
13:56
out of brown in large dashes, someone else wat's smile. Miss Adler.
14:00
You saw her, yes at last, and it's true, what a lovely
14:05
face, though I only caught a glimpse of it through her veil. And
14:09
she called a cab too, Did you as sustained Moniker in the ageway road
14:13
and have a sovereign if you reach it in twenty minute, on which,
14:16
of course, mister Sherlock Holmes called a cab in spite of his own somewhat
14:18
disreputable appearance, and reached the church at precisely five minutes to twelve. Inside
14:24
was a surplused clergyman with Miss Adler and mister Norton. Norton, seeing me,
14:31
rushed down the aisle, took my arm and cried quick my manual.
14:35
Door three minutes twelve and the license expires in we need a witness to a
14:39
marriage man, a witness to a marriage Watson, my humble self, All
14:45
done in an instant tying up I Greeney Atlas Spinster to Godfrid Norton, bachelor,
14:48
go aheadn and a sovereign as a tip from the bride, which I
14:52
shall wear on my watch chain forever. Well, this certainly is an unexpected
14:56
development home, d it is, my dear fellow. What's more unexpected?
15:00
They parted at the door of the church, and I heard her say that
15:03
she'd drive as usual in the park from five till seven. So all is
15:07
well, Our schemes can go ahead. And a black overcoat, yes badly
15:11
rolled umbrella. Oh and hand me that little parcel, would you mind?
15:15
Watson? Thank you? Now we are quite ready for our little visits to
15:20
one of my most charming parishioners at Briony Lodge. Good, good, here
15:48
we are, what's almost there? Now? Let me give you your final
15:52
instruction, Anneal eagerness. You don't mind breaking the law, of course,
15:56
not at least it will hardly be the first time in your company. Very
15:58
well, Now, whatever happens, simply do exactly what I tell you.
16:03
Do I ever do anything else, you will find rather a busy scene when
16:07
we reached the house. I've already made arrangements some little unpleasantness, perhaps a
16:11
fight amongst some drunken guardsmen, for instance. I think there will be confederates
16:15
of your certain day, the street will be full of my confederates. I
16:19
think I've engaged almost every out of work actor in London, or the place
16:22
will be thronged homes. What am I to do? We'll just take this
16:26
parcel, Watson, quickly put it in your pocket for bottoms, A kind
16:30
of bomb. We don't drop it. Yes, it's just an ordinary plummer
16:36
smoke rocket, fitted with a cap to make it self lighting with its thrown
16:38
And what do I do with this remarkable advice? While you throw it?
16:41
Watson, you will station yourself in the shelter of a laurel bush, which
16:45
you will find growing immediately outside the sitting room window. And when I'm inside
16:49
the hut, but how you managed to get in? Just wait and you'll
16:52
see. Ah, here we are, and everyone ready in their position.
17:03
One a old. I'd never see a more admirable staged manage. Effect has
17:07
observed the group of guardsmen, particularly Watson, stationed just at the spot where
17:11
miss A and missus Nortman's carriage will arrive. Those silvers look specs and drunken
17:18
across the head, and my star performed. Now there's the bush. You'll
17:22
have to hide behind to see it. The definitely are Viola all so well?
17:26
Informed Watson? Precisely the windows open as you see, and you'll be
17:30
able to hear me say, all I want is a glass of water,
17:36
please, which is my cue? I take it precisely. Then you'll throw
17:38
the rocket through the window into the room and start to shut fire. The
17:42
place will fill with smoke that will be complete confusion. I shall reappear to
17:45
join you, and then we shall return to Baker's cheat wiser than we came,
17:49
wiser. What do you mean, miss adler will have shown me where
17:53
the photograph is hidden. I can't believe, aha, but here she comes,
17:59
Watson. Look that's her cab. Now get on the cover, man
18:02
quickly while I begin to play my past. Good luck. Reverend in there,
18:07
who give me your share? Lie stretch, gentlemen, gentlemen, I
18:18
pray you to restrain yourselves. I beg you to stand back. Gentlemen,
18:25
lit the lady alike from her kendy. Get the side there? How dare
18:30
you create a disturbance before my hosts? Looking? Shut up for one gentlemen,
18:38
gentlemen, give me the side, I say, let me pass.
18:41
You shut your fight? Gentlemen, Reverend you hor my? What's wrong?
18:57
Way? See you a minute to is it fy? Lady? You can't
19:02
leave with a iron? Are bring him into my sitting room, the quarrel
19:06
fellow, when he was only trying to help me. Yeah, you give
19:08
us head this way? Watch us get my man? Oh, thank you,
19:21
how very kind, thank you, thank you. I'm better now.
19:23
Please please don't let me be in trouble. Just lie quietly for a moment.
19:27
Sir. It was most good of you to come to my assistance.
19:30
The richis ran off when you fell. You're very kind. Indeed, ma'am,
19:36
all I want is a glass of water. Peace, sir, I'll
19:40
have it fetched for you at once. Thank you, well, Watson,
20:00
good old Watson. Well, and the liss Homes your team and paid their
20:07
parts to perfection. Well, so did you, my dear fellow. I
20:10
knew I could rely on you. Ah, so you've got the photograph of
20:14
course, not Watson. What in Himn's name was it all about? I
20:18
wanted to find out where it was hidden, my dear fellow. And did
20:21
you? Of course? I told you, Miss Adler showed me, showed
20:23
you all. Come home, my dear Watson. When a woman thinks that
20:26
our house is on fire, she rushes for the one thing she values most.
20:30
A married woman grabs her baby, an unmarried one her jewel box.
20:34
In miss Adler's case, Ah, oh God, exactly, the photograph is
20:40
hidden in a recess behind the sliding panel, close to the right hand bell
20:45
pool. I even caught a glimpse of it before she realized that the fire
20:48
was a false alarm and thrust it back again. And what you do now?
20:51
Send a telegram to his Majesty and have some dinner to morrow morning.
20:56
We shall visit Brian in lodge again. His Majesty will come with us about
21:00
eight o'clock, before the lady is yet up. We shall be shown into
21:03
the sitting and to await her. And when she comes down, we will
21:07
find neither ourselves nor her photograph. No doubt it will delight the King to
21:11
get it back with his own hands. Holds must be. Oh well,
21:18
here we are home again, or at least you are. I have still
21:21
to get back to Pellington. Oh you would insist on giving me meddet Watson,
21:23
But come in, weren't you? Well? I take my disguise off
21:26
and stay for a bite of dinner. Good night. Here's the schellout hose
21:33
boy? Did you hear that, Watson? What was the young man?
21:37
They're going down the street? Yes, yes, but I thought I recognized
21:41
the voice, something about its tone, you know. Nor there's the passing
21:45
acquaintance. I dare say, I am delighted here, It's quite delighted.
21:55
I take back my suspicions about your lack of interest. Your Majesty is very
21:57
kind. I presume more. We have to do now search the hidden panel
22:02
while they go to fetch her simplicity itself. I'll ring the bell and you
22:07
tell me she is really Marrital homes so the English lawyer named Norton. But
22:11
here's her housekeeper. Well, gentlemen, good morning. May we see miss
22:18
Irene Adler. Please you are Monsieur Sherlock Holmes. I presume I am.
22:22
How did you know that prayer? My mistress told me to expect you.
22:27
She lived with her husband by the five fifteen, from cheering cars to the
22:33
continent. She's left England. Oh, good, Monsieur Holmes. The photograph
22:38
quickly through this way, monsieur right, Watson't she can't be gone? Looks
22:44
like it? Huh. Look there's a pannel you mentioned ye open and Kate.
22:48
No, no, doctor, look there's something still there. Uh the
22:52
photograph itself. No, No, it's a different photograph your manage. Different.
22:56
Yes, look sir, potograph of miss Adler alone without your hand in
23:03
her lamp Gouttess Finn. What does it mean? Herrs? Why she's actually
23:08
fooled me me, Sherlock Holmes. Oh there's a letter to Watson with my
23:15
name on it, dated midnight. Here, mister Sherlock Holmes, you really
23:19
did it very well. I had been warned against you and told that if
23:23
the King employed an agent, it would certainly be you. Even after I
23:27
had shown you what you wanted to know, I still found it hard to
23:32
think evil of such a dear and kind old clergyman. But I have been
23:37
trained as an actress myself. You know, male costume is nothing new to
23:42
me. I slipped it on as quickly as I could while the bomb still
23:48
smoked, and followed you and your friend to Baker Street, and so made
23:52
sure I really was an object of interest to the great mister Sherlock Holmes.
23:57
I even imprudently wished to you good night. Of course, that boy who
24:02
passed us in the street, My husband and I both thought that flight was
24:06
best when faced was so formidable an antagonist. Thank you. As to the
24:11
photograph, your client may rest in peace. I love a man better than
24:17
he ever was, and suddenly decided this very morning to agree to his proposal
24:22
of marriage. Did you know that too, I wonder, mister Holmes.
24:29
I only kept the wretched photograph to safeguard myself, but I give your client
24:33
my assurance that I will never use it. I leave instead another photograph of
24:40
myself alone for him to keep as a memento. And I remain dear mister
24:45
Sherlock Holmes, very truly yours Irene, not nay Adel a woman. She
24:55
would have made such a queen if she had only been on my level.
24:59
As what I I've seen, she's indeed on a very different level from you,
25:02
Your majesty. Oh, you've failed home, for once you've failed nor
25:08
doctor. She will not break her word, she will never trouble me again.
25:11
I am safe. I am relieved to hear your majesty say so.
25:15
Beat Tell me in what way I can reward you, sir, this emerald
25:19
drain. Oh, thank you. But your majesty has something that I should
25:22
value even more highly. But then that photographs her I read, is certainly
25:30
her homes. I am very much obliged to your majesty. I have the
25:33
honor to wish you a very good morning. Well, and that was how
25:41
a great scandal threatened the Kingdom of Bohemia, and how the clever plans of
25:47
mister Sherrock Holmes were beaten by a woman's wit. But sometimes he dances at
25:53
that photograph upon his table, and then he speaks of her, always with
26:00
such affectionate admiration. The woman, what's the woman? The Adventures of Sherlock
26:56
Holmes, based on the original stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, have been
27:00
dramatized you with original music composed by Sydney Corch. Sir Ralph Richardson played the
27:06
part of Doctor Watson and Sir John Gilgud that of Sherlock Holmes. The program
27:11
was produced by Harry Allen Towers. Welcome back. I don't think those first
27:57
few scenes they did with Irene Adler made the character more likable or all that
28:06
appealing at all this but overall I thought the adaptation worked Okay, though these
28:15
two stories are kind of odd ones to kick off the series with, But
28:19
anyway, we two turned out to listener comments and feedback and we begin.
28:26
There's another Adam who comments regarding the last episode of A Life in Your Hands.
28:32
I agree with the critique of this episode in your commentary afterwards, but
28:36
would like to add that there was some sloppy police work. Apparently the glass
28:40
from the broken window would demonstrate where the shot came from. If the broken
28:44
glass was on the kitchen floor, of the shot came from the outside,
28:45
if it came out on the porch, that gun had been thrown to break
28:49
the window, no need to take testimony at that point. Enjoyable as always.
28:56
Thanks well. Some of the episodes of the show, and honestly,
29:00
a lot of detector shows seem to depend on poor police work for our detectors
29:04
to actually come in rather than something brilliant. I will say, in Keig's
29:10
defense, it was perfectly possible that she had thought enough to to just step
29:22
outside the porch door and break it from the outside, so the police wouldn't
29:25
necessarily notice that. I wasn't discussed, so I think we can give the
29:30
police benefit of the down on that one. But thanks for the comment.
29:34
Then we have this a question from Marchelle Adam. Thanks for providing these great
29:40
old radio shows, and I listened via the Stitcher app. I enjoy your
29:42
commentary and wonder if you've seen either of the new Sherlock Holmes TV shows BBC
29:48
and CBS. Keep up the good work. I've actually seen I've seen all
29:56
six of the BBC Sherlock, and I've seen the first episode of Elementary on
30:02
CBS. My thoughts on Sherlock. I've discussed this before, but it's been
30:06
a while. I thought the first series, those first three episodes, they
30:11
did a very good job of capturing the idea of what Sherlock Holmes would be
30:18
like if he were born in our day. The mysteries I thought were very
30:22
clever, great mixes suspense, and I particularly thought they did well doing a
30:30
modern study of Scarlet. Study in Scarlet. Study in Scarlett by Doyle is
30:34
a great story that I think unfortunately becomes kind of hard to access and enjoy
30:41
just because he ends up spending a lot of time after we've solved the mystery
30:48
going to something that happened in Utah several years before. I think they managed
30:55
to do a very good job of creating a believable story. A second series
31:02
I did not think so much of. I did enjoy their adaptation of Hands
31:07
of the Hound of the Basker Fills, and certainly I don't think the quality
31:11
was poor on that second series, but I think the second series, really
31:19
it just almost had too much culture influence from the wider culture now. I
31:30
felt like when we got to the third episode the season finale for that second
31:37
series, that they were doing a Sherlock Holmes version of The Dark Night with
31:42
Andrew Scott, who played Moriarty, basically doing the Heath Ledger part. And
31:51
I thought that was kind of unfortunate. I won't get into the issues with
31:57
Scandal and Belgravy just because I know we have some younger listeners listening in,
32:04
But really I thought it was you know, I thought that it kind of
32:10
lost its focus. But I think both the actors are very pretty good and
32:15
I will definitely be watching when series three comes to PBS. I'll get online
32:23
and I'll see if they are able to get things back on track. As
32:30
for Elementary, I watched the first episode of the series and I said,
32:34
I thought I'd give it another chance, and I still haven't. And when
32:37
I think about why, I've never followed up on it. To me,
32:42
it's just, you know, and I don't. Others have different opinions,
32:47
but to me, it just didn't feel like Shrilock Holmes. They just made
32:52
so many changes to the character that it was seemed a lot similar to Monk
32:59
and With rather than in Sherlock Holmes. Just the way they set it up,
33:07
and you can only make so many changes the character. Tell it doesn't
33:12
seem familiar to what you based it upon. Other people with other taste yours,
33:17
your mileage may vary, but thanks so much for the question Larry emailed
33:22
in you provide a great service. I was going through my itune library and
33:27
realize I've been listening since two thousand and four. Is that possible? Keep
33:30
up the good work from Larry and Vacaville. I'm thinking there may be.
33:38
I'm thinking there may be a slight issue in the iTunes dates somewhere, because
33:45
I've only been doing this since oh seven, oh We also writes in a
33:50
separate email. Great job in a world of fast based entertainment, using the
33:53
imagination is refreshing change. I hope you keep going forever, Bravo. Well,
33:58
I've got enough to programs too for if we decide to continue, You've
34:05
got and I've probably to go a decade or so, so well, we'll
34:08
see. All we've got to worry about now is tomorrow, and we'll be
34:12
bringing you yours truly, Johnny Dowler, and then join us back here on
34:15
Thursday for another episode of Sherlock Holmes. In the meantime, I send your
