Join Us For A Sherlockian Evening!
What with Benedict Cumberbatch's radical new television interpretation of Sherlock Holmes, and the recent big-screen Guy Ritchie / Robert Downey / Jude Law action movies, the Baker Street seven per-center is enjoying a major revival of interest.
How appropriate, then, that the master screenwriter of the entire Holmes canon should be joining us on Litopia After Dark on Sunday February 5th. Bert Coules is nearly as legendary as his protagonist in Holmesian circles. He's a man who's had more experience of Sherlock Holmes than almost anyone else - apart from Conan Doyle. Not only was he head writer on the BBC's project to dramatise the entire Holmes canon, but he then went on to write The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - original plots based on passing references from Conan Doyle's oeuvre.
Bert has also adapted several Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael novels, starring Philip Madoc as Cadfael, and has dramatised works by Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Isaac Asimov and other best-selling genre authors.
We're delighted that Bert will be spending Sunday evening in our company; whether you're a Sherlock fan or not, do join us live in the chat room to listen and chat with this master screenwriter and playwright.
In case you haven't joined us before for the show, it's easy - all you need to is to come along to the chat room...
...before 8pm UK / 3pm EST where you'll find everything you need in order to enjoy the evening. As you may know, we encourage members of the chat room to interact with our guests, so this is a rare opportunity indeed!
And there's more! OPEN HOUSE, our weekly foray into the wilder shores of the English dictionary, is back! If you like words and word games, and appreciate wit, then do come along and take part. Again, it's the same link:
OPEN HOUSE kicks off before LITOPIA AFTER DARK, at 6:30pm UK time, 1:30pm Eastern.
Please tell everyone you can, via Facebook and Twitter etc, about both of these events, we do need to have a good turnout.
