About this product
Product Information
Beginning in 1964, the BBC launched a highly popular SHERLOCK HOLMES series, adapted from the classic detective novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with Douglas Wilmer as Holmes and Nigel Stock as Dr. Watson. This compilation set presents, back to back, thirteen of the fifteen episodes from the original series - everything except for THE BRUCE-PARTINGTON PLANS and THE ABBEY GARAGE, which reportedly no longer exist. Highlights include THE COPPER BEECHES, THE RED-HEADED LEAGUE, THE SPECKLED BAND, THE SIX NAPOLEONS and THE MAN WITH THE TWISTED LIP.Product Identifiers

True to Doyle's stories.
These were a complete surprise, my wife had actually bought the same set from Barnes and Noble but our son had never seen double-sided DVD discs before (nor had we, for that matter) and bought these because the ebay listing detailed the extra flip-side episodes he hadn't yet found. These 60's TV shows are much closer to the books than the earlier Basil Rathbone movies were and lack any war-time jingoism. They make me want to see more 60's Brit TV.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Faithful Rendition
Mostly faithful to the original stories. Watch for a very young David Bruce who would go on to play Watson in the early episodes of the Jeremy Brett series. Wilmer is a more than adequate Holmes and Nigel Stock an excellent Watson. He would go on to appear in the same role for the Peter Cushing Holmes series filmed only a few years later.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Accurate and enjoyable
This series is very well done. The acting, costumes and sets are very convincing. The stories are almost exactly like the original work by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Actors playing Holmes and Watson are well cast. It was made by BBC in 1960's so it has that look to the film motion (due mostly to the frame rate they used). Most people do not notice that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

interesting atmosphere, but emphasis is on sickness, not deduction
I like UK TV from this time period, but this serial concentrates so heavily on the sickness in the Sherlock Holmes stories. There's a BBC radio series of Holmes stories from the same time period (featuring Carleton Hobbs) that is far more humane and interesting for me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sherlock Dvd Review
Very good series, a blast from the past, a series where there were no big explosions, no painful violence, an interesting storyline, and enjoyable non-violent seriesVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
