    Thanks Rick. I've been a Doctor Who fan since TV finally reached Shetland in 1964. I had already discovered Holmes in books and on radio several years earlier. This production is fascinating!

    I watched Mark Gatiss' An Adventure in Space and Time when it first aired recently. It was the first 'new' Dr Who I watched from start to finish since Tom Baker's last appearance in 1981. I've tried watching it since, like when a new doctor appears, but get bored quickly and tune out.

    I don't know where but I vaguely recall reading the word 'Wholock' some time last year (2013). I didn't read further at the time but I'm thinking now that this must be what it was about.

    Downloading the two files now Rick. Thanks.

      I will look later.  i see references to others so if there are I will post them.  I really enjoyed it and I also enjoyed how it was done but I am not enough of a geek to be able to do it. LOL  ----------------------  R

      It would seem from YouTube that "Wholock" is a genre of these cobbled videos.  I haven't looked at most of them but the idea IS interesting.

      I find the mechanics of putting them together fascinating and the premise more so.  ------------  R

      I just went to check on YouTube for others and honestly these 2 are the only 2 I like and I must have looked at 20 different ones from Wholock to Super Wholock and back again.  The idea is fascinating but so far no one seems to have put anything together that does either character justice except this one video I posted and it is only postulating an interesting theme.  Technically it is also quite good.  I posted this one video as an interesting one off and another that shows in an abbreviated form how it was made.  So far I have found nothing else that is even close in my opinion. All the others i looked at were by another person and I thought they were crap.  ------------  R

      Sadly, I would have to agree. :>(

      It looks like a handful of people grabbed the original idea and attempted to ape it, with neither technical nor artistic success.

      I think the term "crap" gives them more credit than they deserve.

      Thanks for finding the one gem in a field of detritus.
