Just a small observation,using a graphic programme and concentrating on the fotwear,it appears to me,allowing my eyesight may not be the best,that the shoes the cook? is wearing appear to be of a different design,style and shade of colouring than the others.Maybe cooks were better paid?

Robert, I do believe you've just hit on the true origins of Brown Windsor soup.
You don't suppose Dr Bond was round the back, drafted in to make the tea, do you?
Brooke Bond PG Tips, naturally.

I'm reading more of 112 now. I greatly enjoyed Jon Rees' review of these Holmes movies I haven't seen. I'm curious to know of his opinion of the 'Max Headroom' Holmes movies, or anybody's opinion for that matter. I've considered getting them. By the way, NOW'S the time to grab various Holmes DVD's on amazon while they're cheap and plentiful.
I just read a letter in the 'Dear Rip' section from Roger Baynton bashing the Casebook because he's too timid to post and get criticised. WTF? Who is this guy? That was uncool. Shame that portion of his letter had to be published at all, since its intent was presumably to review the new conference DVD. But then, if Rip editors went around editing letters at will, there'd no doubt be bitching about that as well. Anyway, passive-aggressive people like Baynton irk me.
Yours truly,

Worth Noting
