A Scandal in Belgravia: "Masterclass in Misdirection"

Pour one out for Battersea! We're diving into ASIB, again with our special guest Erin. We quote just about every line of this episode, so buckle up.

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes: "Thank You Billy"

Welcome back to the first episode of Season 2!  Our special guest for this episode is our lovely friend Erin. She will be talking to us all about The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (TPLOSH) and its influence on the show and its writers. If you haven't watched that film we will be spoiling the plot, so be warned. Along the way we will be comparing the characters and plot to ASIB, which we will be discussing in depth in the next podcast episode.  A link to Hannah's meta as promised.

The Blind Banker: "No One On Nothing A Year"

It's our shortest episode yet (and possibly ever)! S1 E2: The Blind Banker. It's everyone's least favorite episode, but fear not. We focus on the episode's highlights, how it establishes character dynamics, and its relevance to series 4 and 5. Topics include: teapots/drink code, Brecht, character mirrors, John the unlucky dog, and Mary's love of cats.
