The picture quality on these old episodes is pretty good. Of course it's B and W. Unfortunately the sound leaves something to be desired. The characters don't speak all that clipped for being British. I'm surprised that the quality of sound in the transfer isn't better. Perhaps it can't be improved on. I wish it had English subtitles. ( Haha, English for English). I had to back it up to understand what they said. Well maybe some of the other episodes will be better. All in all its very good.

i recently purchased a copy of 'sherlock holmes the complete series' on dvd. it came on three discs and all episodes were complete. i bought this set since i like a good detective story. characters were well- portrayed by ronald howard as mr. holmes and h. marion crawford as dr. watson. iread that these were filmed and scored in france and aired between 1954 and 1955. these were all in black & white and dubbed from original masters. the source masters had some flaws in them from use and age on some episodes but all were viewable enough regardless. i would have preferred that a remastered edition were available of restored quality , but i believe this item was a good deal for the money anyway.
This is a little-known series from the mid 50's that has a lot going for it. Great cast, some very good writing and good atmosphere. If you like these sorts of shows that provide a peek back in time to a different era, and also enjoy mysteries than chances are you'll enjoy this series.

These black and white shows have good story lines for the 30 min. TV show back in the 50's. Ronald Howard is a good actor and plays Sherlock well. Reminds me of his father a lot. Well worth the price.

Complete series from UK early TV. Used to watch every Sunday night before going to bed for Monday school. Beautifully done. Rumor there is a 40th episode (?) done as a pilot but not on here
