In 'The Norwood Builder' young solicitor John McFarlane appears at Baker Street with the police hot on his trail to beg for Holmes' help in proving his innocence.

The Best Holmes Ever

By John Stock-Allchurch from Norfolk - England , 08 Feb 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

The greek Interpreter is a classic holmes story.. and for my money Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes, there have been many pretenders, but Mr Brett is the only truly believable Sherlock, his combination of spirit mixed with morbidity accurately portrays the character in a way only understood by a bright spark blighted by depression - I miss him.

Four Excellent Episodes

By a customer from Sussex , 01 May 2010

The disc I received contained four of the best episodes of the series, ending with the sinister appearance of Eric Porter as Professor Moriarty. Very good.
