Oh my goodness thank you very much! I’m so glad you enjoy the things I love 💛 and as far as that post goes, I do remember it but I can’t find it either! It didn’t contain the audio, though, just an anecdote—supposedly they performed the bit privately at someone’s memorial and it was never in the plays proper. But it was the performers from the Bert Coules radio adaptation, I believe. Does anyone else know how to find that post?
Regarding people’s descriptions of the unaired Coules scene, you’re thinking of this post, I believe.
There’s also a radio comedy version of Hound of the Baskervilles in which Holmes and Watson say “I love you” and it’s not cut out, it aired on BBC radio. I haven’t listened to the whole play, but here’s a post with Holmes’s “I love you” excerpted (it comes at the very end of the clip).
Yes!!! Thank you @educatedinyellow
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
now excuse me as i lay down on the floor right here and cry for half an hour
Same!! Also here’s Watson’s very earnest “I love you” courtesy of @sanguinarysanguinity!
What you refer to (and oh how lovely that more people discover at last ny favourite) is Steven Canny & John Nicholson The Hound of the Baskervilles, aka peepolykus!holmes. It’s a PLAY that got recorded for BBC as well. It’s fantastic, and queer as f*ck. Also, they both say “I love you”. It’s the version where they are in an established, confirmed relationship for years. Also, alllllllll the sex metaphors.
I was fortunate to watch it live. The stage was light up in rainbow colours.
You can buy the script online (highly recommended!) and listen to the slightly abridged BBC audio version. It’s avaible completely online.
Just scroll through my blog. All is tagged. You can even find photos. As I say: it’s my favourite. It’s a canon Johnlock classic. If/when it’s staged in your area, don’t walk, run.
The most explicit queer with ALL the Oscar Wilde & porn is obviously The Newly Discovered Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, another BBC production, and yes, part of the team later went onto Coules!Holmes. Why people settle for desperately unspoken audio when they can have “flashing your ankles at your fellow soldiers”… remains a mystery to me.
@a-candle-for-sherlock @two-nipples-maybe-more @educatedinyellow
The reason why canon Johnlock in SHERLOCK wouldn’t have been groundbreaking… because it’s been all done before.
“No Watson! Your letters were my torch!”
“…You burned them?”
“Yes”
