I am an Arthur Conan Doyle purist. As far as I'm concerned, everything else is fanfic and not canon.

Oh, true, and I've used the extra stories as an argument for the legitimacy of fanfic. There have been "undiscovered stories" for decades, and the whole phenomenon of The Baker Street Irregulars is just fanfic dressed up for scholarly gentlemen geeks who otherwise would never do "that sort of thing."
This is where I hate that my books are scattered between house and storage shed, I used to have all my Holmes materials on two nicely organized bookshelves near my home computer. I'm not even sure where my Annotated Sherlock Holmes two-set has gotten to.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
everything else is fanfic and not canon.
And, indeed, not Conan.

I've got all three volumes of the Annotated SH (the two-volume set of the short stories, plus the one volume of the novels)--got them for Christmas last year (thank you, Mom and Sis). Cool thing is that, if you line them all up on the bookshelf, the books' spines form the silhouette of Holmes with his pipe and deerstalker hat.

I too have a Mom and a Sis to thank for my Annotated Sherlock Holmes.

And mine didn't even coordinate their gifts. I'd had all three volumes on my Amazon wish list for years with no result, so last December, I sent out reminders of said list to my family and stressed that I'd really like those books. Mom sent me to the two-volume set and Sis sent the third, with neither of them knowing what the other was giving me.

PBS, Masterpiece Mystery, whenever it airs for you. It's also online, I think, on pbs.org.

I had no trouble telling Graves and Freeman apart as Lestrade and Watson, but I am a big fan of both actors.
