When Arthur Conan Doyle brought about the demise of his most famous character Sherlock Holmes, 20,000 people canceled their subscriptions to the Strand Magazine, where the stories were published. Young men wore black armbands and young women wore black in mourning. Queen Victoria was not amused.

In homage to those early fellow fans, I’m not wearing a black armband on Monday after the Reichenbach Fall airs - I’m wearing my Deerstalker to the Once and Future Worlds Greatest Detective, and you are welcome to join me!

(in the show Ben wears a brown plaid, but here he's in herringbone tweed.)
