10/10
Fantastic Series
16 May 2006
This serialisation is so very beautifully made. Jeremy Brett as Holmes is excellent. In fact, he is the definitive Holmes. He is still sadly sadly missed.

The costumes and background scenery are magnificent. What has since happened the ITV network is a disgrace. They were once the kings of drama like this, and now they exist on reality TV only and premium rate telephone numbers - rubbish.

Bring back the days, ITV, of magnificent dramas - like Holmes. Of actors of the calibre of Jeremy Brett and the rest of the cast. Of scenery to die for.

I fear we will never see the like of this type of drama ever again. You actually believe that you are in the 19th century - transported back in time to a bygone age of steam and fog. Of coal fires and personalities long gone.

What has happened to you, ITV? Bring the quality of dramas such as this, back again. I love everything that Jeremy Brett did as far as his portrait of Holmes is concerned. Absolute dedication to the part. You actually believe he IS Holmes. Jeremy Brett, I salute you.

11/10 Top top marks for a absolutely beautiful series.
