Is there still a Sherlock Holmes show?

The Sherlock Holmes TV Show which is considered the best finished years ago after the actor who portrayed Holmes, Jeremy Brett passed away. There is at least 1 Sherlock Holmes TV show on at the moment. It's called Sherlock. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson. It is a modern adaptation, set in 21st century London. Series 2 will be coming to BBC1 soon. I recommend it. It's very good, some people even think it may be better than the Jeremy Brett version. Also an American TV broadcaster called CBS are planning on making a modern Sherlock Holmes. Obviously they didn't copy the idea at ALL.

Sherlock Holmes' hair is raven black. This is its color in most physical appearances throughout the years, including all drawings (the traditional sketches being by Sidney Paget) and television shows such as Granada's version of the stories (starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes and David Burke/Edward Hardwicke as Watson). Only in the animated series called Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century was it a different color; that was blonde.

Some years ago in a Borders bookstore there was a hardcover book that had Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler married and going to the Chicagos World Fair for a honeymoon is this book real or not?

The book you are asking about might be called 'Castle Rouge: A Novel of Suspense featuring Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler, and Jack the Ripper' by Carole Nelson Douglas, which is a parody or pastiche of the Sherlock Holmes character. It is not a true Sherlock Holmes story. There have been many stories and books written by fans of Conan Doyle who have created alternative Sherlock Holmes stories, attempting to be as true to the original story as possible.

Was Jeremy Brett gay?

Bisexual, in 1958, Brett married the actress Anna Massey (daughter of Raymond Massey), but they divorced in 1962 when he left her for a man. Their son, David Huggins, born in 1959, is now a successful British cartoonist, illustrator and novelist. Years later, Brett and Massey appeared together in the BBC's dramatization of Rebecca (1978), with Brett playing the haunted hero, Max de Winter, and Massey playing the sinister housekeeper, Mrs Danvers. (David Huggins also played an uncredited bit part in the film.). In 1991 Brett and Anna Massey's brother Daniel Massey appeared in an episode of Sherlock Holmes series. In 1977 Brett married American PBS producer Joan Wilson. She died of cancer in 1985. Brett was devastated by Wilson's death and did not marry again.


What was Sherlock Holmes education like?

By his own account, Sherlock Holmes attended university for two years, meaning he had a more than adequate education. The details of his education apart from that are not included in the canon, however, apart from Holmes' statement that his area of study was different from most of the other students. (My personal theory is that he studied chemistry at Oxford, which is more of a history/English school, as opposed to Cambridge, known for maths and science, but that's just me.)
