The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Rating: WARTY!

This was an awful dramatization by the BBC, which was so melodramatic and pretentious, with screeching skin-crawling violin randomly inserted, and they were, for the most part so absurdly overblown that it was really a parody. There were twelve episodes which are listed in order below with my comments appended:

• A Scandal in Bohemia

Reviews to follow.

• The Red-headed League
• A Case of Identity
• The Boscombe Valley Mystery
• The Five Orange Pips
• The Man with the Twisted Lip
• The Blue Carbuncle
• The Speckled Band
• The Engineer's Thumb
• The Noble Bachelor
• The Beryl Coronet
• The Copper Beeches
