Subject:  Lost special - Disappearing train

This was NOT a story about Sherlock Holmes and
Dr. Watson.  These characters are not even in the
"Lost special."  Doyle concocted the story outside the
canon of Sherlock-land.  I will not divulge the plot,
but urge you to listen to either the Ben Wright one
from Escape, or the Orson Welles from Suspense,
or both. Great drama and excellent acting on both
programs.

Ted Kneebone

[ADMINISTRIVIA: Before we go so far into this we get lost in the reeds, the
1898 short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is available to enjoy on-line;
it's a little much to suggest it is, "outside the canon of Sherlock-land,"
since the quoted letter to the Times written by an, "amateur reasoner of some
celebrity at that date" is clearly in the style of and intended to suggest
Holmes, even if he is not referenced by name. But don't take my word for it,
read the story of The Lost Special at:

If I can find either of the OTR productions, I'll post them to the blog, but
even if they aren't completely faithful to the short story, it doesn't mean
the story wasn't at least peripherally part of the Holmes canon. I also
promised someone at Cincy (waves to Randy) I'd post an episode of The Player,
and of course I never did get a wrap-up of the Cincy convention posted,
either, so I guess I have my work cut out for me this week.  --cfs3]

Last year we used the "The Lost Special" as the basis for an episode of our
series "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." The program was titled
"The Adventure of the Parisian Assassin.".
