Sherlock is awakened from the dark side.
By a customer from The hills of Norfolk , 04 Jun 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
There is a single episode on this DVD but in runs for a couple of hours. I missed this first time around so for me it was a real treat. It has a slightly darker flavour in comparison to the rest of the series, and the plot is more supernatural than logical. Its a bit 70's but the photography and lighting is superb, I would guess that that a few folk had a great time shooting this, trying out all the stuff they had always wanted do, the prism shot on Bretts face is up there with photographing female nudes lit through venitian blinds, however, it makes a change from the standard bland stuff we see today. This is one of Bretts darker performances, yet Brett at his best. You have to go with the flow to enjoy it (its now quite old) but for all you younguns, this is why the olduns say telly is now crap. Still miss him.- Was this review helpful to you?

Holmes is where the hurt is
By Bananer from Devon , 03 May 2004Beautifully filmed entry in Granada TV's Holmes series.
Clearly, a lot of time and effort went into the production values for this feature-length episode, with both direction and dramatisation making it a cut above the regular series.
Jeremy Brett seems to be almost on the point of a breakdown as Holmes - I think his health in real life was suffering, which makes the performance almost painful to watch - but the psychological depth he brings to the role is greatly to be admired.
Not the fasted story, but extremely elegant.- Was this review helpful to you?
