Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a few full length novels and several short stories about the adventures of his fabled detective Sherlock Holmes. And of course they were used as the basis for many of the episodes of this British TV series that starred Ronald Howard as Holmes and Howard Marion Crawford as his faithful scribe Dr. Watson.
Howard and Crawford both do a fine job in the part as does Archie Duncan as Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard. But sad to say that in the few episodes I saw of this series, the stories compressed into a half and hour time slot don't really develop at all.
The sleuth of Baker Street had to wait until the BBC gave him and hour time slot with Jeremy Brett a generation later. Howard and Crawford should have been given the same for this series.
