A Watsonian analysis of BBC Sherlock series 1-4. Why is series 4...like that? What is tjlc? Listen as we play the great game and discuss "the final problem" of understanding the show's deconstruction of the myth of Sherlock Holmes.
It's time for THOB! Special guest Marcel joins us for this hilarious romp through the countryside. Sherlock's losing his mind and we (affectionately) can't get enough of it.

A Scandal in Belgravia: "Masterclass in Misdirection"
Pour one out for Battersea! We're diving into ASIB, again with our special guest Erin. We quote just about every line of this episode, so buckle up. You can expect mirror character analysis, phone=heart and car metaphors, innuendos galore, and some gut wrenching scene readings.

The Blind Banker: "No One On Nothing A Year"
It's our shortest episode yet (and possibly ever)! S1 E2: The Blind Banker. It's everyone's least favorite episode, but fear not. We focus on the episode's highlights, how it establishes character dynamics, and its relevance to series 4 and 5. Topics include: teapots/drink code, Brecht, character mirrors, John the unlucky dog, and Mary's love of cats.

The Unaired Pilot: "Comic Sans Snax 'n' Sarnies"
Kira and Hannah are joined by special guest Miranda to briefly relive the dark times post series 4. We tackle blog theory, alibi theory, and how will series 5 work after series 4? In the second half we get into the unaired pilot's two dollar budget, overt gay vibes, and differences to the aired episode (plus a Culverton tangent so beware!).
Follow Miranda here (https://bbcsherlock.tumblr.com/)and listen to her supernatural podcast Ramble On (https://anchor.fm/rambleonsupernatural).

Historical Context: "Be Gay Solve Crime"
Before diving into the show proper, we discuss a couple sources on the homosexual subculture of London in the late-Victorian era up to the trial of Oscar Wilde. Prepare yourselves for the unavoidable Mary Discourse, known scandals, the Gay West End, the trial of Oscar Wilde, the inherent queerness of amateur sleuths, and more. Special Guest: the ghost of Oscar Wilde possessing Hannah's cat (coincidentally named Oscar, in fact, after the legend himself).
*Content Warning* for many mentions of historic instances of homophobia. We don't go into disturbing details of violence, but we do mention it and briefly discuss death, violence, and blackmail. We also quote examples of homophobic public opinion during this era that may be upsetting to some.
Check out our blog chanceorchesspod.tumblr.com (https://chanceorchesspod.tumblr.com/) to see a picture of Oscar the fancy tuxedo cat.
