The Doctor's Bag
By
Keith Souter aka Clay More
It is Christmas Day today and I hope that you all will be celebrating with friends and family. So as not to ruin your enjoyment of your Christmas turkey and your Christmas pudding I have desisted this month from giving you the gory details about the operations that the old frontier doctors performed. Instead, I thought you might like a little seasonal relief with a Sherlock Holmes tale, The Case of the Christmas Pudding.
This was one of a series of short movies made for TV in 1955 starring Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes and H. Marion Crawford as Dr John Watson.
I have always been a fan of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. I am sure that Dr Logan Munro, the Wolf Creek town doctor would have had a copy or two of some of the monographs penned by Holmes, and would have avidly read Watson's accounts of his cases.
Anyway, enjoy Christmas and enjoy The Case of the Christmas Pudding.
