I highly approve of your fangirl-crush, indeed I think I share it;) I love any half-way realistic back-story for Holmes, and his years at college are particularly fascinating to read about. There are so many intriguing possibilities with Victor Trevor. Come on, Holmes' one and only college friend who invites him to spend a month in his house over summer, a visit which ends rather abruptly...? Very suggestive;)

I give you all the credit of making me listen to the radio-plays - I've never liked the genre, but they are so adorable! Bert Coules' invented dialogue is really good, and the performances are excellent. I've taken to listening to one or two episodes before going to bed most nights:) I could have done without the elaborate back-story he gave Culverton Smith and his nephew though...
