This Sunday for 60 for 60: The Red-Headed League

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Hi, everyone! A good week for you all, I hope. Well, we're sure to have a good weekend, because it's a classic this Sunday: The Red-Headed League. Cases rarely come weirder than this one. Mr. Jabez Wilson is a bit of a dolt, but he thinks his ship has come in when his shock of flame hair nets him a place as a beneficiary of the odd and mysterious Red-Headed League. When his new-found position abruptly ends, he makes Sherlock Holmes' day instead, bringing this exquisitely bizarre conundrum to his door.

Haven't joined us for 60 for 60 before? We'd love to have you jump in too! Everyone is welcome. You can learn more here (including the schedule), but the basics are easy: read the story, then write a 60 word ficlet inspired by it. That's it! It's fun, it's quick and you'll love reading both the wonderful classic canon and the terrific variety of fic we all come up with. Come have fun with us! See you Sunday!

I know, right? This one is ridiculous in all the right ways! The Granada TV version of REDH is fantastic too -- check it out on YouTube if you haven't seen it before. :)

Oh, that was great! I watched it on Netflix streaming. And bonus Richard Wilson as Duncan Ross!

The Granada version of REDH is indeed fantastic. I had tried getting into the Granada series before and started with The Dancing Men, but for some reason it just didn't click with me. After a long time I tried to get into Granada again, this time starting with REDH and I fell totally in love within the first five minutes! (and couldn't stop watching after that...)
