First, a paragraph of historical context and disambiguation: The Diogenes Club was created by Creator/ArthurConanDoyle for a Literature/SherlockHolmes story, in which it was an eccentric gentleman's club catering to gentlemen who wanted access to the facilities of a club but didn't get on well with other people; Holmes's brother Mycroft was a member. The movie ''Film/ThePrivateLifeOfSherlockHolmes'' proposed that the Diogenes was a front for, and Mycroft Holmes a senior official of, the [[UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} British]] secret service[[note]] This expands on a line in The Bruce-Partington Plans where Sherlock remarks that while Mycroft works for the government, "Occasionally, he ''is'' the British Government"[[/note]].

** "You Don't Have To Be Mad..." features a BedlamHouse where inmates are taught to focus their insanity in specific ways, the BigBad believing that madness will be a way of life in UsefulNotes/TheEighties, and his patients will be the leaders.
