Standard get-rich-quick scheme without Ponzi. In fact, this adventure costs Moriarty’s people money since they pay Wilson for his copying work! Note, the crime is that he’s being coaxed out of his shop, not the theft which will be prevented by Holmes. Jabez Wilson, a red-head, is being coaxed out of his shop under some crazy pretense of copying the Encyclopedia Britannica while his assistant, Spaulding (actually a noted criminal named John Clay) can dig a tunnel from Wilson’s pawn shop to the nearby bank which is keeping a reserve of French coins. A veritable cornucopia of great guest stars! But onto the episode… Lastly, I must have had one foot in the grave when I realized Richard Wilson played Duncan Ross, one of Moriarty’s minions. To see him with hair was a shock that almost had me throwing up tentacles! Then, perhaps the sun was in my “errrres…” the first time I watched this but I was delighted to see John Woodnutt aka the Duke of Forgill (among other episodes) from Doctor Who’s Terror of the Zygons. Halpen in Doctor Who’s Planet of the Ood. I was stunned to see that Spaulding was played by Tim McInnerny, aka Mr. Of note, this episode was a real who’s who for me. A shame that it’s a ridiculous plot! Even more tragic that we learn that Moriarty is behind it, because this is one poorly handled scheme! To know there could be a league dedicated to the upkeep and maintenance of we red heads is a nice thing. Being a ginger is a raw deal: we can’t enjoy the beach and we get picked on for being carrot-topped. Other than the Sherlock Holmes series, Doyle wrote around thirty more books, in genres such as science-fiction, fantasy, historical novels, but also poetry, plays, and non-fiction.Well, I confess I have a special fondness for this episode, what with my own people getting center stage. He published four novels and more than 50 short-stories starring the detective and Dr Watson, and they play an important role in the history of crime fiction. He is best known for his thrilling stories about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. When he came back to the United Kingdom, he opened his own practice and started writing crime books. During the Second Boer War, he was an army doctor in South Africa. After his studies, he worked as a ship’s surgeon on various boats. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Scotland and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. "The Red-Headed League" is part of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". Will Holmes find out what the Red-Headed League was aiming? Wilson had to copy the Encyclopaedia Britannica four hours a day but suddenly the office was closed without any explanation. He was actually hired solely because of his flamboyant red hair. The pawnbroker Jabez Wilson comes to Sherlock Holmes because his suspicions for his weird but well-paid job got bigger.
