A man is not dead while his name is still spoken, some have said, although for the purposes of 20 questions this is not particularly helpful.

Has this man had his works converted into TV and/or film?

Does the written work(s) he is most famous for, primarily feature the same character or world?

If yes, is it Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?
