My first look at telly was also on a 9" b&w at a neighbour's house. I think we got the giggles because the picture was quite distorted & she chucked us out! 1950-ish.

I thought the on screen Chemistry between Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce was absolutely superb, and overall by far the best pairing. Bruce may have played the part a little different than the books indicated, but i think it really worked, and all others need to be measured against them!
