Thank Holmes It's Friday - Feb 28th - Mary Watson Special
It’s that time again - Thank Holmes it’s Friday! This week we take our inspiration from our Sherlock Holmes Page a Day Calendar. On this very day in 1972, the talented Amanda Abbington was born. Abbington graced our screens as Mary Morstan in Sherlock (2014-17), the wife of John Watson, portrayed by her then real-life partner, Martin Freeman. We therefore proudly dedicate this issue to those captivating Sherlock Holmes tales where Mary takes center stage!
