パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。/Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
I read a story of Sherlock Holmes for children in my childhood. On the other hand, I was attracted by the series of by Arsene Lupin at that time for he is more stylish than Holmes, kind to women and leads Ganimard around by the nose that made me feel so exciting. Laer I became to like Holmes who is sober but eccentric and investigates any case persistently. And the broadcast of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" in Japan gave me a chance of reading Japanese translation of the canon of Sherlock Holmes that intended for adults.
It is regrettable that "A Study in Scarlet" is not dramatised in the Granada TV Series. But it is impressive that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson recalls the illustrtion by Sidney Paget and the dignity of London in Victorian age in which it is set. And the eccentricity of Holmes is described in details. Until then I thought him to be a good-natured gentleman but found it is Watson who has such personarity. The descriprion of Dr. Watson is also good in the series.
I still enjoy the series that is still broadcast by NHK BS and a CS station. Besides I watch "Sherlock" and the NHK puppetry but watched very few films regerttably."Young Sherlock Holmes and the Pyramid of Fear" is one of such films. It was released when "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" was broadcast in Japan. In it, Holmes and Watson are pupils of a boarding school as well as them in the puppetry and I felt novel about the idea. However unlike the puppetry, it is not a detective drama set in the school but is a memory of teenaga days of Holmes and Watson. I remember young Watson eats his favourite custard pie or tart in a carriage in the film.
