Yesterday the episode was shown on CBC Canada and my blogger statistics for that post from Canada went through the roof. Although there has been a steady interest in his appearance since I wrote the post, I have had 527 hits and over 250 in one day from Canada alone. I have copied the post below as it has attracted a lot of interest for some reason.
So I have decided to provide a follow up post as Alan, some of the cast and fan sites on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram shared some more fabulous photographs from the shoot last September. The fans have also shown a lot of interest in his appearance and posted a lot of complimentary posts on social media.
I have been unable to watch the episode due to where I live. I was however, able to view a brief video of the one of the scenes Alan appeared in on Murdoch Mysteries homepage from the official CBC Canada site in which his character (a historian) tries to warn the police about an attempted murder. This episode is definitely looking interesting in particular with the time travel theme.
I found the Murdoch Mysteries Wiki. The Wiki is a comprehensive guide for anyone wanting information about the show including the actors, characters, seasons and episodes. The Wiki is run by a group of very dedicated fans and provide regular updates including a detailed description of each episode within that season including a brief summary, cast details and some interesting historical trivia.
The episode "A Murdog Mystery" is the one hundred and forty-third episode of Season 10. It aired on January 16, 2017. The summary of the episode states “As Inspector Brackenreid is bound for Panama with James Pendrick, Murdoch is appointed Acting Inspector until Brackenreid's return, telling the constables to stay with calling him ‘Detective’. Accordingly, he plans some organizational changes until Detective Watts, was asked to vacate Station House No. 1, has happily applied for the now open detective position at Station House No. 4., but before Murdoch can respond, Higgins interrupts him, "Excuse me, sir, there's been a murder'…While investigating the death of a championship show dog, Murdoch discovers a hidden affection for a crime fighting canine named Pistachio who takes the lead”.

Alan Doyle And An Episode Of Murdoch Mysteries...published on the 21 September, 2016 on this blog.
Recently Alan Doyle announced on his official Twitter account that he had a guest role in the Canadian drama series Murdoch Mysteries.
For those fans like me who do not live in Canada and who are not familiar with the series, Murdoch Mysteries is a Canadian historical detective drama set in Toronto in the last decade of the nineteenth century and first decade of the twentieth century. The series is based on the novels by Maureen Jennings.
The date of the airing of the episode in which Alan has been cast has yet to be announced. It is great to see Alan branching out and taking on some acting roles as he is a natural.
Alan posted some absolutely drop dead gorgeous selfies and photographs from the set and in costume on social media. I have copied three of my favourites from Alan’s official Twitter account. As always no copyright infringement intended.
