Sherlock Holmes never said the phrase “it’s elementary my dear Watson” in any of the classic tales written by Arthur Conan Doyle. The phrase was assigned to him by readers and enthusiasts. The character was later given the line in a number of movie scripts that were not penned by Conan Doyle.

I have had the “In Her Majesty’s Name” Scotland Yard figures from Artizan design painted for some time but never used.

With my recent purchase of 7TV Pulp I wondered how a Sherlock Holmes movie cast would look. Here is the complete cast without worrying about star ratings:

In 7TV Pulp terms this comes to 43 star ratings which is eight too many for the standard game.

By taking out Mycroft Holmes, (“Covert Operative”) (6), and Constable Cook (“Beat Cop”) (2), this brings us down to the appropriate rating of thirty five.

The cast from left to right “Crusading Crime Fighter”, three “Beat Cops”, two “Covert Operatives”, “Police Detective”, “Police Sergeant”, and a “Doctor”.

Sherlock Holmes, the “Crusading Crime Fighter”, and Watson the “Doctor”.

Inspector Lestrade and Police Sergeant Donovan

Two “Covert Operatives, Detective Sergeant Upshaw and Detective Athelney-Jones from Special Branch.

“Beat Cops”, Constables Rance, Murcher, and Pollock

Let’s hope we will be saying soon “Come, Watson, come. The game is afoot.”
