But again, that's the kind of really weird, bizarre detail that sticks in your mind.

So when you first read this as a child, so I read this when I was, I don't know, 10 or 11 or something.

And it's sort of a sort of abridged kids version.

And it really stuck in my mind that his boot had been stolen.

Who would steal one boot?

Now, we find out the reason later on.

Of course, this is the kind of detail that Sherlock Holmes loves.

Because he's able to now, you know, create the sort of put the puzzle together with the missing boot and the words cut out of the times and the mysterious hellhound and the curse and all of this kind of thing.

But interestingly, at this point, Watson says, well, I'm going to go off to Dartmoor with Sir Henry to find out what's going on.

But Sherlock Holmes doesn't go because there's a big blackmail case in London and he has to stay behind and deal with that.

So Holmes, our hero, is taken out of the narrative, isn't he?

Do you know what you're not mentioning about the Barrymore's?

I know you know and you're not saying it just to be difficult.

I've played Frank Barrymore in our sister podcast, Sherlock and Co.

Yeah, it was a great performance.

I'm the underkeeper.

Well, it has.

So they're there with this strange sort of cast of characters.

There's all kinds of strange howling on the moors, eerie kind of nighttime howls.

It is creepy, completely.
