Anyone looking for faithful adaptations of Conan Doyle stories aren't going to find them here (save for one or two episodes) but if you accept them for what they are, ie original stories (sometimes loosely based on Doyle's writings) then they're mostly enjoyable. Some of the plots creak without quite collapsing and some of the acting is a bit wooden but Messrs. Howard, Marion-Crawford and Duncan are OK. As a nostalgia-fest, they're wonderful, though. It's presumably what viewers saw on ITV soon after its inception in 1956, along with the likes of Colonel March of Scotland Yard and similar detective series.
