Enjoyable if stagey production of classic Holmes tales
Review date: 2004-06-24 Rating: 10 out of 10
I watched this after a terrible day at work and was surprised to find that I really enjoyed it. Some of the lighting effects and camera angles are rather dated but the acting was first class and I soon forgot about this. Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock did an excellent job as Holmes and Watson and the friendship between the two men shone through. The Sign of Four is obviously truncated to fit into the episode time slot but no less enjoyable for that. The Blue Carbuncle was equally enjoyable, despite poor old Watson never getting a Christmas present from Holmes! It is a shame that so few episodes remain of this series as I would have liked to have seen more.
