I wasn’t a very good husband

Hello all!

I want to thank everyone who has submitted to the NPT for their time and patience! I also want to provide a quick update on our progress: right now, we are finishing up the editing phase of our project and moving into layout design. Things are somewhat slow-going at the moment - the NPT is entirely student-run and we’re all working on this in our spare time. We appreciate your understanding and your willingness to work with us.

Rest assured, the project is still going, and we hope to have a more substantial update soon, along with an increased social media presence! Until then, we’ll be hard at work.

Thanks again,

One of the finest and most beloved Watsons ever to grace the screen has passed away. David Burke was 91 years old, just shy of his 92nd birthday, and he is survived by his wife Anna Calder-Marshall and his son Tom Burke.

By all accounts, he was a gentleman and a wonderful human being. He could have stayed on to play Watson much longer, which would have made many of us very happy, but he chose to leave the show to be nearer to his family, especially since Tom was very young at the time.

His was not the first intelligent and competent Watson, but this version marked a turning point in mainstream depictions, from comedic sidekick to a hero in his own right.

RIP, dear sir. You will be missed. Thank you for everything.
