When I saw this series on PBS I knew I had to have it. It seems the smallest detail in making this series was closely watched. Example: as the opening credits close, beyond "Sherlock's" profile a woman is seen chasing a bus. The bit players, and extras, the animals, the costumes,everything seems to be as authentic as possible. This,in addition to the literature, this makes the whole thing much more enjoyable than any other I've seen. This is one of five "collections" of which, to date, I have four and am looking forward to acquiring the last. Due to the quality of the presentation I can easily forgive Jeremy Brett's (who's gone now) overacting.
This 3 Disc Collection contains 6 episodes where Jeremy Brett portrayed Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke portrayed Dr John Watson, in very faithful dramatizations of the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I highly recommend this television series.

I Love Sherlock Holmes ,I Grew Up Reading His Adventures, I Bought this dvd set for my mom .She loves her Sherlock and I have decided to get her these dvds for her birthday .To me , Jeremy Brett is the best of all the actors whom played the sleuth and plus I have watched him ,from 86 or 89 to when he died playing the iconic roll. I will say that this set is worth any price to pay if you really like murder mysteries these are the cre'me dela cre'me of any movie sets..
The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes stories have continued the good "cases" and acting talent of Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. The two men give performances that bring Sherlock and Watson to life as if they are real. I bought them because "Sherlock" is no longer on television and I enjoyed the shows so much I will watch them many times in the future.
