The Strange Case of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle

Douglas Henshall as Arthur Conan Doyle

If Douglas Henshall doesn't receive a gong or two for his performance as Doyle, an investigation should be launched- Lorraine Wilson- The Herald 31st July 2005 One of the toughest tasks for any actor must surely be to deliver the line ‘Cream cakes- And scones- And jam' and make it sound interesting. Henshall manages to do it. And I don't think I've ever seen an actor swallow with more meaning. It's true that one swallow doesn't make a springboard for a great acting career. But Henshall deserves to be a huge star. Give this man a major film role, someone. And be quick about it. Charlie-Lee Potter- Night and Day magazine 24th July 2005
