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.
