Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson Collection Slide Show
Hi, Ross K. Foad at nplh.co.uk is now the virtual host of my 30 years in the making Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson Collection of photos & autographs of actors who have played the parts in Film, on Radio, on Stage, and on TV. More than half of my collection is posted in a slide show presentation already, and Russ is adding a few more everyday. Feel free to view my collection at;
Let me know what you think at:

I hope you enjoy it,
Howard

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Edward Woodward sadly died in 2009. 
You also have Mr. Birling a.k.a. Geoffrey Whitehead.

Yes, many of the pieces were framed years ago. If the year of death is not under the name, then they were still alive when it was framed.

Ah...thought so. There are so many. What an enterprise! I'm going to keep popping back on for a 'fix'. 
I really liked Edward Woodward. He was in a series called Callan many moons ago.

Yes, I remembered him as Robert McCall in the TV show "The Equalizer", with Jerry Stiller of all people. He was quite good in that too.

Re: Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson Collection Slide Show
I was thinking also of ""The Equalizer"when I made my last post. I might try to get these on DVD if they are available. In "Callan" he played a spy but it was a gritty, depressing sort of spy life he led (actually more akin in some aspects to Daniel Craig's Bond than other portrayals of 007).

Re: Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson Collection Slide Show
Sir, this is truly one absolutely amazing and disciplined collection. Anyone can buy random Sherlock stuff, put it on a shelf and call it "a Sherlock collection" but you have fine tuned the collecting impulse and lifted your niche interest into the realm of Art (in the blood or otherwise!).
Instead of devouring the entire site in one go, I try to only look at a few at a time. I'll also try to mention new acquisitions on the Always1895 Friday Links - email me if there's anything in particular you would like my reader's attention brought.
A tip of the hat to Sherlockian book reviewer and blogger Ross K who hosts Howard's collection on his site No Place Like Holmes or NPLH. If anyone reading this hasn't viewed Straker/Howard's amazing collection, do so now posthaste.
