Granada Television's outstanding, long-running series based on the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle celebrates some of its brightest moments in this enjoyable video. The late Jeremy Brett, as his fans know, was indeed the definitive Holmes, and numerous clips on this tape from the first few seasons of the show (arguably the best years of the series) bear this out. Included are highlights from A Scandal in Bohemia, The Solitary Cyclist, The Crooked Man, The Speckled Band, and The Dancing Men. The original actor portraying Dr. Watson, David Burke, is on prominent display, as is Burke's replacement, Edward Hardwicke. Both men do Watson justice and mesh perfectly with Brett's brilliance. For anyone trying to decide whether to watch some or all of Granada's Sherlock Holmes programs, this is a good way to get a feel for it. --Tom Keogh

1.0 out of 5 stars Best of? Not quite..., July 23, 2000

This review is from: Best of Sherlock Holmes [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Don't be thrown by the title. This is essentially a clip video developed by MPI Home video to advertise all the titles in the Granada Sherlock Holmes series. Nothing new or interesting here that isn't on the individual tapes of each episode. Sorry folks, but that's all it is!
