Day 27 – A Story You Wish Had Been Adapted

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good fangirl (so far) this year.

I would really like a decent gaslight version of A Study in Scarlet.
You can skip or skim the Morman backstory if you wish.

Thanks,

Did someone mention 'gaslight'? Because I could have sworn that I mentioned it!

ASiP is genius. I love it.
Now, please give me a true Victorian version!
(With extra fog and Hansom cabs!)

Have you two seen there's another version of Study in Scarlet? I can find the link if you like--it was an OK one--from one of the lesser-known series; it was posted to YT by AutumnAtMidnite

Please send a link... my expert searching skills found an animated version from 1984 which was not bad as far as following canon storylines, but the Watson was too old for my tastes. Lestrade and Gregson were in character, but did not match their canon physical descriptions. Holmes suffers from 'deerstalker-itis' here too. The wild west backstory was maintained and the Mormonism was kept out of the back story (thankfully). Not bad, but could be better.

Ah here 'tis, 'twas by MemorieLane1980 (who later switched her username elsewhere to AutumnAtMidnite): this ep is from 1980

(this is pt.1, pt. 2 is on the same channel as you'll see)

Let me know what you think!

Would you show me the link to the animated version you mention, from 1984? I'm curious to have a look ;)

Thanks for the link!
And, in return, here is The link to the animation
It is a playlist of the 4 sections.

I have the first one on a compilation DVD. (It is dreadful!)
The second one shows a lot of promise, and the third is absolutely LULZ.

hee hee not watched any of them yet but will check them out in the next few days ;)

Regarding the animated version to which you gave me the link, you are quite right--I watched a few minutes of it and I don't think I'll watch any more...

Let me know what you think of that 1980 version!
