During November 1887, Beeton’s Christmas Annual published a story entitled A Study in Scarlet that was written by a twenty-eight year old Southsea-based physician called Dr. Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle.  It was the first of sixty stories that he wrote over forty years that each feature the now iconic literary detective, Sherlock Holmes.  This character has since appeared in some two-hundred and thirty films making him possibly the most filmed fictional character of all time.
