wooohooo…. 100%
And I haven’t read or watch Holmes since I was ten! I had such a crush on Jeremy Brett. Ummm, yeah I was a strange little girl.

Yeah, I got 100% as well. It wasn’t too hard if you had ever read the stories. If you hadn’t… well, then you are screwed.
Yes, Jeremy Brett did a fine Holmes. That was a nice series … decent production values all around and ((usually) reasonably close to the stories.
It would have been great if Granada had produced adaptations of the entire “canon”, but alas, Brett had to screw things up by dying. Bummer.

3 out of 8. I have never read them but I used to watch them religiously with my mom when I was a kid. I will always remember the Edward Gory animation at the opening of PBS Mystery!

Yeah – 100%! W00t! I thought they were going to do some of the lesser-known ones though – “The Bruce-Partington Plans” anyone???
Sid Morrison
The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans was interesting both in that it centered around secret submarine plans and Sherlock’s even-smarter brother Mycroft Holmes figured int he plot. It would have been a good one on this list.
Or how about any of the stories in the last series of stories, “The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes”. The Casebook (1927) didn’t come into the public domain (in teh US anyhow) until a couple of years ago, so the stories tend to be lesser known. They are also a little wackier [SPOILER ALERT!] including a story about a guy turning into a monkey from taking a drug derived from monkeys and another apart (seemingly anyhow) a vampire. Happy reading!
