Episode 59: Sherlockology

"We both thought the best resource" [SCAN] We can unabashedly say that we're huge fans of . So it was with great pleasure that we sat down with Jules Coomber and David Mather, two of the four (in addition to Emma and Leif) who run the burgeoning online presence of a site that pays homage to the BBC's Sherlock and the cast and crew that are responsible for it. It's been so well done that many think that it's either an official BBC site or that it's only about the show. Go with us behind the scenes to understand who these energetic and fascinating people are, what brought them to Sherlock Holmes, what keeps them committed, the relationships they've forged with the creators and staffers of the show, and some behind-the-scenes commentary about how this is all done. And please don't forget to visit , the online shop run by these enterprising people. All of the proceeds go back into running the site, which is purely a labor of love. Technically, this qualifies as our Christmas episode, which is entirely appropriate, as Series 3 of Sherlock gets its world premiere on December 15 and the show hits the wider public on January 1. Along with these gifts, we reference  last year at this time, so that's well worth your time. In addition, for those who have downloaded the official I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere app on  and , we have an extra audio treat for you that you may find of interest. Of course, we cover some nuggets of current events and news - mostly around the premiere of Sherlock and its anticipation, a reference to our  (so lovingly compiled by ), the growth of the  and our well laid-out  magazine. Our gas-lamp this week comes from the 1959 Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual and is titled "Christmas with Sherlock Holmes." We wish you the compliments of the season.
