Drawing on film, television, novels and graphic novels amongst other sources, the book expands on the remarkable range of material presented in the television series, including previously unpublished transcripts and interviews which - due to time limitations - were cut from the show.

Sherlock Holmes on Screen surveys over a century's worth of his exploits in film and television, from the silent era to the present day, and is illustrated with over one hundred stills. In this revised and expanded hardback edition, author Alan Barnes brings the story up to date with an analysis of the BBC's 2002 adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles and more recent Holmes-inspired productions.

| The most important indie guitar band of the 1980s, The Smiths' career was as brilliant as it was brief. In the research for this widely acclaimed study of the group's musical development, author Simon Goddard was granted unprecedented access to The Smiths' studio archives and the private collection of outtakes and rehearsals retained by drummer Mike Joyce. Investigating the stories behind the songs and detailing every UK television appearance and radio session, Goddard offers a unique analysis of each track's concert shelf-life and lifts the lid on previously unreleased material never before mentioned in print. This revised and expanded second edition includes exclusive interview material with founder member Johnny Marr, producer John Porter and guitarist Craig Gannon, and a new section of rare photographs. Revised and expanded second edition
