- TriviaThe reason for the delay between The Hound of the Baskervilles and starting work on the Casebook series is that Brett and Hardwicke took their characters back to the theatre in The Secret of Sherlock Holmes. It was play in 2 acts, written by Jeremy Paul, that toured between 30 August 1988 and 16 December 1989. In the West End the play was staged at London's Wyndham's Theatre.
- GoofsAs Sherlock reaches into the coffin to lift Lady Carfax, Watson is seen running toward him. The editing them makes it looks like Watson comes to assist, but then Sherlock is seen to repeat the identical lift of Lady Carfax.

Featured review
A weak story, but considering what it started with, it does surprisingly well.
The story is rather weak, but the original was actually one of the weakest stories. As far as a mystery, it's not much of one. More of a drama than anything. The adaptation done here is pretty well rewritten to at least make it more interesting, but it's still not very good from a mystery standpoint. If you skip this one, you aren't missing much.
