Yes, Ronald Howard's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes should be ranked as one of if not THE best. H. Marion Crawford is also impeccable as Dr Watson. I am so glad to have discovered these episodes. They both would have excelled in full length Sherlock Holmes episodes.

Each Holmes was unique. Brett was great, but the truth is that Brett was actually mentally ill when doing Holmes. He was even hospitalized in a mental hospital a number of times during the series. In fact, in the last season, he was almost out of control, actually thinking he WAS Holmes. Thus his impulsive, neurotic Holmes characterization. Rathbone on the other hand played Holmes as a deadly serious, almost humorless character. Then we get Howard's Holmes, played almost like a child let loose in a toy shop.

Maharaj'as' or Raja's'..true established Kings from over uncountable years of history of Bharat (known commonly as India) would NOT dress like that...that's more of the dressing sense of badshahs mughals or arabs. Because of the pigeon feathers. Maharajs never wear pigeon feathers, only a stately tied headpiece with jewels, pearl strings or such... There's a huge difference.

I wish they'd put another Sherlock Holmes series back on TV. And keep the original era of time.

Absolutely delightful. Each episode seems better than the one before. The actors playing Holmes and Watson found just the right balance of humor and drama, with the scale leaning more toward wit and dry humor. I think Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be most pleased and highly amused by this incarnation of his famous detective. Watson's Maharaja costume looks most becoming on him. Almost didn't recognize him. Also, the scene where Holmes is busy conning the conman while Watson is being fed grapes by his "harem" was so funny, I couldn't keep from laughing!

That said the episode was still great ;)

i have not mentioned in my musings :} -that the actor who plays Lastrade is also very good - his perplexed looks are just perfect :} Also, why do people feel the great need to denigrate other actors' Sherlock /Watson portrayals? This is a great show with wit, Jeremy Brett was the perfect Holmes, Cumberbatch was really wonderful, and Basil Rathbone a classic. Plus all the Watsons are wonderful in their own ways. there's a few Holmes actors i think are just horrible, but i wouldn't put them or anyone else's choice down. a very good actor/actress can do a terrible job with one character and absolutely nail all others - character actors included.

What you say may be true about "hailed as the most faithfully filmed . . . .

However, This series is very nice, well done, a bit too comical yet entertaining and reasonably believable. It is very worth watching, so on that I do recommend to those who love Sherlock Holmes. I prefer Basil's and Nigel's way of calling the inspector's name. This series always gives me a moment of hesitation before I get it as the inspector. Thanks for the stories.
