I first read the Sherlock Holmes stories in my teens - over 50 years ago - and have re-read them many, many times since then. I have the 2-volume annotated version of the stories, which points out all the great inconsistencies and impossibilities in the "canon", and has notes at the side of each page - many from the pens of the Baker Street Irregulars. I have an original copy of the first "Strand" Magazine to contain a SH story, which is a prized possession.

None of which stops me from enjoying the modern TV take on the stories, which is done with great good humour and wit. It's just fast-moving fun and enjoyable television - something which seems to be all too rare these days.
