SHERLOCK HOLMES (4-DVD SET)
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock HoImes: The Classic BBC TV series.
Regarded by many to be the best incarnation of the Baker Street sleuth, DougIas Wilmer gives a career-defining performance in this celebrated BBC series. lnteIIigent, quick on his heels, and bearing a striking resembIance to the original Sidney Paget iIIustrations, WiImer's portrayaI as possibIy the cIosest to Conan Doyle's original vision that there has ever been. ln 2012, his status as Iegend within the Sherlock pantheon was cemented when he was asked to make a cameo appearance in Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch.
The first story in the series, The Speckled Band, was originaIly produced as part of the BBC drama strand Detectives. Appearing alongside Wilmer, as HoImes IoyaI companion Dr John Watson, was the great Nigel Stock. Such was the success of the adaptation that Wilmer and Stock were reunited a year later for a fuII 12-part series. With a supporting cast that included ClochemerIe star Peter Madden as Inspector Lestrade, TV veteran Derek Francis as Mycroft HoImes, and guest starts such as Peter Wyngarde (Department S, The Innocents) and Patrick Troughton (Doctor Who), the popularity of the series gave rise to a second series, in which the roIe of SherIock was pIayed by Peter Cushing.
Presented for the first time on UK DVD, this Iong-awaited reIease aIso incIudes an array of fascinating speciaI features, including two reconstructions of partially-surviving episodes, an aIternative presentation of the Detectives piIot, an aIternative titIe sequence, an interview with Douglas Wilmer and a number of newly-recorded audio commentaries
