OMG OMG OMG
This is the best Monday ever!
First I finally find the adaptation of Futrelle’s story “Cell 13” on YouTube (it’s part of the 1970s TV series “The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes”)
and I basically spend the whole episode grinning because Douglas Wilmer is such a perfect Professor Van Dusen and the adaptation of the story is spot-on
and then this happens:

(sorry about the blurry pic, the video quality is quite bad)
I actually screeched when I saw him enter the warden’s office
Seriously, Nicholas Courtney as Hutchinson Hatch?!
Day Week Year Life made
There is no possible way you can understand how much this means to me
The Van Dusen stories are dearer to me than Sherlock Holmes and Raffles
I’m so overwhelmed with feelings I might actually start crying
HELP
