Talk:Lord John Roxton

His title, and the Actor list
I listed actors in only film and TV versions of The Lost World because my source for the 40s radio adaptations of that and The Poison Belt, John Dickson Carr's introductory essay to the 60s paperback collection of Doyle's short sequels, doesn't identify any actors other than the man who played Challenger. What about the "Alien Voices" version of World for audio cassette, mentioned in the novel's article, and featuring Leonard Nimoy? Doesn't even say who he played. Anybody out there have any more on either of these so we could include them?

Despite the fact that Doyle had been knighted (Sir Arthur, remember), it looks like he messed up the use of the title Lord. Alfred, Lord Tennyson; Laurence, Lord Olivier; Lew, Lord Grade; Richard, Lord Attenborough; just a few examples off the top of my head. Also, the first, silent, movie changed it to "Sir John Roxton," seemingly a correction. Does anybody have a citable source that Doyle did indeed get it wrong? I really would like to include such a statement in the article, if it's true. --Ted Watson (talk) 21:31, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
