PBS 3-part series on, actually, Doyle vs. Holmes. Fascinating from a writer's point of view.

I have watched the first two episodes, need to watch the third. I also enjoyed her video series about Agatha Christie, although the written biography I didn't like. But visually, she goes places and has access to materials that I can't, which makes it interesting to see.
Agatha Christie was said to have disliked Hercule Poirot, adding disagreeable traits such as liking creme de cassis, "modern" chrome furniture, having finicky personal habits, and so on. Dorothy L. Sayers, OTOH, supposedly fell in love with Lord Peter Wimsey, having Harriet Vane be her substitute. I don't know about Margery Allingham and Albert Campion, but that would be interesting to research and compare.
