Inspired by a remark from @mrssoup and the final release of all Sherlock Holmes work into the public domain, here’s the pitch: a Muppets THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES with Daniel Craig as the only human, playing Holmes. Kermit is Watson, Miss Piggy is Mary, Fozzy is Lestrade. Tell me you wouldn’t watch that 😃

@antonyjohnston @mrssoup take my
money. My only note is that Sam the Eagle should get an audition for Lestrade 😃

@eoinkelly @mrssoup Sam the Eagle seems much too competent for Lestrade tbh

@antonyjohnston Fair. I think his pomposity would suit tho. Probably a more of a “over a few pints” discussion tbf 😃

@antonyjohnston @eoinkelly Sam is Mycroft. Pompous and annoyed and better with short screen time.

I'd watch, but clearly Lestrade is played by Gonzo.
Show threadVortechJan 2, 2023
@mrssoup @antonyjohnston @faduda Came here to say Gonzo is Lestrade. So, since I was beaten to the punch I will say that moves Fozzy to Watson and I know, I know, Kermit…but if I’m being honest they don’t have anyone who can do Kermit at the moment anyway.

@antonyjohnston @mrssoup Mary is far too small a part for Miss Piggy. (Is she even mentioned in HotB?) Obviously she has to play Beryl Stapleton.

@antonyjohnston @mrssoup This misses the opportunity of putting Gonzo into the Deerstalker and having a human as Watson. Kermit could be Henry (complete with American accent).
Show threadMatthew AdamsJan 2, 2023
@antonyjohnston @mrssoup Waldorf and Staetler could be the Barrymores (with a genderswap) and Fozzie and Miss Piggy the Stapletons.
