Wait why are some of these scenes so funny. I literally laughed out loud at their argument that Watson was going to come with him to burgle lol. As well as the scene with Leatrade, he knows what’s up 😂 and Holmes quickly burning everything, very satisfying.
"Well, I don't like it. But I suppose it must be." said I, "When do we start?" "You are not coming!" "Then you are not going." said I, "I give you my word of honor, and I never broke it in my life, that I will take a cab straight to the police station and give you away unless you allow me to share this adventure with you." Dr Watson with the friendship win of all time!!
I wish Greg that you could star in a new series dedicated to Holmes and you being Holmes . Bringing back to life all of these Amazing tales that the Late Jeremy Brett left behind. Who was the ultimate hero. We need to bring back those fog lite nights in London where it will forever be 221 B Baker st. The best to you Greg bravo the best of the best . Thank you for keeping him alive. Yours Truly Scott Dickens
I have just watched the "His last vow" episode of Sherlock, and I must say that I am truly stunned at how well it corresponds with this the original. Of course, there are changes, but the similarities are very strong, to those who know the books. A marvelous performance, Mr. Wagland, as always.
Fun Fact Charles Augusts Milverton was inspired by the real life Alleged blackmailer that was well known in various Art Circles Charles Augustus Howell.
Christie PLAGIARIZED this into *'The Veiled Lady'* She changed the end but the story is essentially the same. Even to Poirot and Hastings burgaling the house to obtain the letter. AND..... Poirot, LIKE his 'British twin detective, insisting that he might make a great criminal, if he was not of moral disposition. For someone who HATED the 'conceited creep' she referred to Poirot as, agatha christie had NO place to call anyone else CONCEITED; given her ARROGANCE in committing such obvious thievery. HOW was this NOT discovered by AC Doyle's estate?!
YAAAY! I have an ally. Too many times, I've been carped at by Christie loyalists, simply for stating the obvious. Sherlock Holmes fans understand. Thanks!🤗
I am glad I’m not the only one who didn’t quite get the ending! I was thinking the women was someone I should know from the story, now I see that her identity is a secret between H and W. ( a well known women of that time) That the reader must guess at.😊
So let me get this straight; Watson elected to publicly publish an account of how they willingly chose to break and enter with the intent to burgle. At which point their mark actually entered the room they were in with Watson fully intending to subdue him with his coat and "leave the rest to Holmes". However, miraculously a mysterious woman shows up unexpectedly and shoots him dead, only to then vanish without a trace (despite the large household). The only evidence of her presence winds up in the fire, but Watson makes sure to give a tantalizing but unverifiable hint as to who she might be (while also carefully detailing her extremely sympathetic sob story). The whole thing feels like a very shonky alibi. I'd be checking both their hands for gunpowder residue and Watson's old coat for gunshot holes. PS - I'd also point about the early parts of the account Watson wrote where he states a gentleman stands by his word once given, how there are some instances where the moral choice is separate from the legal choice, and how he'd always support Holmes and be by his side in these sorts of events.
Brilliant as always buuuuuuut I have one complaint if they didn't smoke as much I wouldn't too 😂😂 And I'm not trying to quit but I have not have a pleasure to get as much cigarettes as I would like
There are those in the world who would remove references to smoking or any other injurious practices from classic literature. Some would even remove classic literature altogether, as its in the public domain and not generating as much money for them as it might...
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio f those people who want nothing else then too ruin my fun I can live with the fact that I want to smoke more than usual but no one is taking my classic literature I love it too much for it helps me to fall asleep and I'm glad that I fall asleep and then I have to go and listen to it again like the farmhouse I am listening to it for the second time and I will probably be falling asleep again
Milverton might not be a nice guy, but aristocrats fully deserve to be humbled by any means necessary. If turning their arbitrary decorum and pearl-clutching attitudes against them is the best way he found to make them squirm, so be it.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audioI found it complete. Excellent I can't image anyone not enjoying this. Obviously the picture was the woman who anialated the demon. Ever to remain a secret. Loved it!
Dear Cathy, Your confusion is understandable. Sir A.C. Doyle did alter his delivery in this tale. If you listen again to the description of the woman who shoots the evil blackmailer, and then listen to the every end where Holmes and Watson are looking at the photo in the shop window you will make the connection. She remains unnamed in the frequent British deference to the misdeeds of royalty.
