I wish to buy the complete collection but am not sure which one to buy. Besides the difference in quality as ppl have pointed out, I also notice the cast to be different. The 2008 version casts Jeremy Brett as holmes, does it have Edward Hardwick/David Burke as Watson? Please comment and I'll place my order. Thank you - Ravi

The title of this review refers not to Holmes himself, master though he may have been, but to the incomparable Jeremy Brett. Truly, there can be no other actor who has played Sherlock Holmes, who so utterly nailed the role and character of the man as Brett did. An amazing talent and one of acting's most tragic losses.
Now, the series... This is a unique example among screen adaptations of works of literature: the on-screen product actually surpasses the original written works. Conan Doyle's stories of the great detective were rather shallow affairs to be honest, although still immensely readable, occupying a favourite place on my bookshelf. But the fact remains, the vast majority of them were only short stories, and ... Read More: >>More Details |

This set of 3 DVD's is well worth getting. Peter Cushing had already produced one memorable performance in Hammers classic adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles 10 years earlier and here at the age of 55 he produces another set of superb performances.
It becomes fairly obvious watching these that the BBC were on a tight budget, but this doesn't detract from the quality of the performances. With the benefit of the relatively modern technology of the DVD and better quality TV's (and I'm not talking Hi-Def here) one or two other things become rather obvious - like the fact that Peter Cushing is wearing a wig! I watched The Hound of the Baskervilles this afternoon. This is a full length (98 mins) movie. Lookout for the actor who played ... Read More: >>More Details |

Well I won't go into details about the story, other reviewers have already done this very nicely, I merely just want to endorse the praising reviewers by adding that I totally agree with their opinion about this film in every way - it is really a marvellous adventure, telling the story of Holmes' youth, how he meets Watson for the first time, why he decides later on, to live with the absence of a women in his life and how he comes across his worst enemy Professor Moriarty.
Although the story is not an original of Conan Doyle, it is absolutely a wholehearted one, done with a lot of respect for the original stories, that only a true fan could produce. All actors are great here and in particular the leading roles - this is an adventure about the mysterious, ... Read More: >>More Details |

Witch means that they cut off one third of the frame (and in CinemaScope features, Half the frame)... so some times you wil see two noses in each side of the frame, speaking to one another !! I will never be able to understand this Concept... >>More Details |

Previous reviews have perhaps given a better critical view of this film, but if you are a fan of Wilder and Feldmann you will enjoy this. Leo Mckern makes a fine villain who is both believable and insane, both important to the credibility. Too many of the jokes are simple such as chocolate on the face, but some are sublime such as the wonderful ballroom scene (I will not spoil the joke). For an English audience there is the added 'reassurance' of Roy Kinnear and other 'usual suspects'. The singing, dancing and fencing are unexpectedly good and the whole film becomes an enjoyable romp with some quite dramatic moments.

A marvellously crafted and witty take on the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes for all fans of his. It is a slanted, almost subversive reading of him, giving us a real man, with real vices and defects, and a real sense of humour, and gives us a far from stodgy Dr. Watson, much more a real friend of his than in other versions. This is all intended to give us something new, something quite tantalising, and something quite rewarding. It utterly succeeds in this, and throws in an adventure dripping in that dark Victorian quality all Holmes adventures have. It is clearly made by a huge fan of his, and Wilder revels at the chance of giving Sherlock's mysterious brother a prominent role. Stephens as Holmes is sensational. The screenplay is sparklingly good, and the story itself is as well detailed and ... Read More:

As time went on with Granada's productions of Sherlock Holmes, two things happened. First of all was that as the original creative team left for pastures new, the scripts were subject to more and more padding out, sometimes out of neccessity (The Dying Detective being a prime example), sometimes to create a different feel, with mixed success. The Casebook is mainly loyal to the canon in it's dramatisations, but The Memoirs does feature an awful lot of window dressing (The Three Gables being a case in point).
The second was Jeremy Brett. The further you get into these collections you can see just how unwell he was becoming. Indeed he died not long after the completion of the series, and was so unwell during the filming, Charles Gray as Holmes's brother Mycroft was forced to take on the sleuthing ...
