Sherlock Rides Again… And Again

Flickering Myth

But multiple stories with the same characters? The same Dr Watson – female or otherwise. The same Moriarty and Baskerville hounds will reappear in slightly different incarnations. Imagine if all bets were off and multiple James Bond’s appeared (in fact, in 1983, Octopussy fought against Never Say Never Again) or Peter Parker existed in Victorian London, New York and “as an old man reflecting on his life” in a Lancashire bungalow – played by different actors and, of course, “telling a different story”. I remember a joke whereby a film critic put forward an idea – why don’t they release a Groundhog Day 2, and when everyone is sat down for the first screening, just play the first film again. It’s already happening and people are paying for the privilege.
