My favourite ever set of stories, absolutely classic.

If you ever get the chance look out for the Peter Cushing BBC adaptations. Only four or five stories survive in the archives but he is my definitive Holmes.

My husband had a few of the old Basil Rathbone films in black and white stored on our Sky + box.
I hated them with a passion. Recently we had some problems with the box, I had to call Sky and the only thing that would rectify the problem was a total reboot.....this meant he would lose all these favourite films.........Awwwwwwww, how sad I was(NOT).......I watched as the box erased all those hideous films and I rubbed my hands with glee!
Every cloud has a silver lining.

This is one of those occasions when I wholeheartedly agree with you, Ken! First read 'em about 40 years ago, so I'm on a voyage of rediscovery now.

Never seen the Peter Cushing Holmes, so I'll watch out for them. Funnily enough, I've been watching the Basil Rathbone ones over the last couple of weeks. Obviously a lot of the tales aren't the original ones and they're in a 1940's setting, but I reckon Basil Rathbone plays a great Holmes.

Thanks for the heads up.

Oh...please don't tell me they are showing these films again

The Basil Rathbone ones? No, I've bought a DVD of them, Margaret. I take it they're not your cup of tea?

Thank goodness for that.......I was going to have to engineer anothe box fault and wipe the disc again. I hate 'em with a passion......well, perhaps not quite as much as the EU...but nearly!

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one!

I think Margaret likes the films from her youth, i.e. in black and white and silent!
