News; game: cartoon show theme songs; things that would have been considered disrespectful 20 years ago; goodbye/fun facts....Sherlock Holmes is a world-renowned detective and the most portrayed character in film history and the annual celebration, marks the birthday of its creator--Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who based the character of Sherlock on an Edinburgh university professor, Dr. Joseph Bell. In simple terms, Sherlock Holmes is a detective who uses the power of acute observation and deduction to solve crimes. But Conan Doyle's outstanding writing and deep knowledge of the genre made the stories an instant hit. Conan Doyle started writing as a deflection from his failed career as an ophthalmologist and had he not taken the risk of quitting his medical practice to give his hobby a chance, the world would have never known about Holmes. Those who haven't visited 221b Baker Street in London are in for a real treat! The official museum is fun to see with relics of various kinds.
