Episode 325: The Unexpurgated Sherlock Holmes

from I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere · host I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere

 “Holmes took it with admirable good-humour” [PRIO] For years, Holmes and Watson have served as a blueprint for an "odd couple" dynamic, usually by poking fun at the detective’s ego, and the doctor’s struggle to keep up. Humor can humanize these literary giants, making them feel less like statues and more like friends. Now Nicholas Sercombe’s The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series goes down this path, suggesting Watson’s reports were just too risque for the morals of Victorian England. Join us as he shares the facts Watson really discovered about Holmes’s family, Mrs. Hudson’s real estate empire, and much more, and the live-action and animated television series under development.Don't miss our round-up of Sherlockian society activities in the second half of February in "The Learned Societies" segment, and the Canonical Couplet quiz that tests your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of one of N.P. Sercombe's books for the winner. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock.com by January 14, 2026 at 11:59 a.m. EST.
