BAYNES & BAINES: PART TWO

Last month I wrote about the family relationship of Inspector Baynes ('Sherlock Holmes') and Jeremy Baines ('Doctor Who'). I'd now like to bring another member of the family into the fold.

DOCTOR BAINES
of
"THE NINE TAILORS"

As with the other two men, Dr. Baines lived in the Norfolk area; he was the general practitioner serving the community of Fenchurch St. Paul.

As he was seen in Toobworld around 1938, (Lord Peter Wimsey mentioned that a jewel robbery at the heart of the mystery occurred twenty years before, in 1918.), and being in his later years, I propose that he could be the son of Inspector Baynes. And like young Master Jeremy, he decided to change his name upon getting his license to practice medicine.

As for his relationship to Jeremy, I think he's better suited to being his uncle rather than this father.

BCnU!
