I loved the show but I... had no idea there were Murder Rooms books. With the change in actors, I thought there might have been a bit of a soft re-boot after the pilot, so maybe the showrunners decided to shelve the idea of an arch-enemy when the production went to a multi-episode series. They could have assumed the show would return with more episodes (I certainly did) and they figured there would be time later to return to this plot line.

Yeah, a trilogy. Also unfinished (kind of), and at times badly weird, but I love it as much as I love the series. I've heard folks saying that Murder Rooms is dark - which is true, especially if we compare it to the Holmes adaptations - but it's a mere romcom in comparison to the books. In the literary version, there isn't a single book where Doyle omits to mention that he's about to die. Also, Cream sends him weird parcels and is being intensely creepy in other regards (as in "trying to disgrace Doyle by having him sexually coerced by a prostitute who was then supposed to mock Elsbeth's memory aloud"). His friendship with the Doctor sometimes sounds like morbid codependence (not that it doesn't happen in the series, too, but then I tend to notice it, because that's my favourite Murder Rooms fanon).

I think that seven episodes always were the general idea? It was supposed to be a miniseries. But I agree on the reboot version - and I'm glad they did it. Sure I'd like the Cream plotline to have a proper ending, but I'm afraid he'd evolve into the exaggeratedly evil and superhuman figure he is in the book series. Instead of all the fun that was The Photographer's Chair and The Kingdom of Bones we'd have another Moriarty (this is not to mention the fact that Cream is worse).

High five, by the way :) Are you, by any chance, the OP of the last Murder Rooms secret?

They are not ;D I doubt it will be hard to figure out who else it could be, lol.

Let's make a fandom together
or something
there are, after all, a whole three of us :D One will be the fanartist, another - the writer, the third - the podficcer. and we'll hire someone to write the meta for us

I call podficcer! XD I can't draw and my writing skills are shaky.

I kind of write already, but that's more out of despair :/ I actually wrote a 20k+ Kate Chopin crossover?? You could podfic the Yuletide Murder Rooms porn
and this spanking fic from ffn

Wow. That's a lot of Chopin *badum tiss*

I've never podficced anything before! does one need to have an awesome voice to do them? What are the pairings for the fic?

Yes, and it has daemons. Bell's is a magpie, and Doyle's is a fox. Sorry not sorry. Also, they investigate Desiree's suicide.

That was more of a joke, since the two existing works aren't particularly high-quality, but I'd totally listen to it (even though I'm not into Murder Rooms shipping, and all Bell/Doyle porn does for me is give me a good laugh). I don't think an awesome voice is a must - that's more about intonation, really.

So one's Bell/Doyle, and another one is gen but with spanking (it also cracked me up, because I can't take the situation seriously).

Oh, that sounds interesting :)

Lol ok. I was thrown when you said spanking fic. I wasn't sure what to say. I haven't read any Murder Rooms fic, so I thought maybe Bell/Doyle spanking was the fandom kink lol. I have to say, I can see that happening in the show in any capacity, unless Bell took to drink and thought Doyle was someone else. At least you get a laugh from them! :)

I didn't need this mental image :D Unfortunately, there's really no fandom - just some of my stuff and the two works written ages ago. But I'm totally requesting it on this Yuletide.

Haha. Sorry!

Hope someone fills it for you :)
