Sherlock Holmes	comment	There have been numerous television adaptations of Sherlock Holmes. See the main page for a list. This page covers the franchise of television series produced by British television company Granada Television between 1984 and 1994, staring Jeremy Brett as the titular Great Detective. Of the 60 Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 42 were adapted in the series spanning 36 one-hour episodes and five feature-length specials.The first two seasons are referred to as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. These series co-starred David Burke as Doctor Watson, reversing the commonly held view of Watson as The Watson epitomized by Nigel Bruce in the 1940s and 50s, portraying Holmes' biographer as a strong, intelligent, humorous but never bumbling man of action, often learning from Holmes in the art of deduction. Rosalie Williams proved a real gem as the long-suffering Mrs. Hudson, and the supporting cast was magnificent, including an early appearance by Natasha Richardson.In The Return of Sherlock Holmes, the producers pulled a daring but successful trick in changing Watsons, since the original Watson, David Burke, left for a variety of reasons. Edward Hardwicke (personally recommended by Burke) replaced him, and though the two interpretations are different, both are extremely successful in challenging The Watson impression.For The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, after a three year break necessitated by Jeremy Brett's health, professional difficulties and various projects, the series returned in 1991 under the oversight of the original producer, Michael Cox. Unfortunately, the number of truly strong stories left in the canon of original Holmes material had started drying up and some of the remaining strong ones needed a bust in the budget (travels to France for instance), leaving the production team an unenviable choice: stay faithful (the original mandate of the series) and pump out low quality episodes, or make quality television but deviate dramatically from the source material. They wavered between the two options during this series, resulting in an uneven six episodes. It was followed by a set of three tv movies featuring expanded adaptations of short stories. The Master Blackmailer (adapting "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton"), The Last Vampyre (adapting "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire"), and The Eligible Bachelor (mostly adapting "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor").The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes was the final series, airing in 1994. At this point in time, Brett's health was massively unstable due to childhood heart problems, medication prescribed to deal with his bipolar disorder, and complications from chain-smoking his entire life. Adding to the performance difficulties (Brett could often only sustain seconds-long takes before collapsing) were scheduling crunches (the producer, June Wyndham Davies had originally wanted a year to do the series, but after Executive Meddling was given scant months to scramble together scripts and productions schedules), leading to actor replacements (Edward Hardwicke, who played Watson, was unavailable for one episode, and Brett himself had to bow out for an episode, leading to the inclusion of Charles Gray as Holmes' brother Mycroft to replace both characters in two episodes).The series as a whole is generally regarded as one of the most accurate attempts at depicting the original stories ever put to screen (barring certain changes in order to facilitate adaptation from print to television), and Brett's portrayal is often praised as at very least one of the best Holmes out there, if not the definitive portrayal. It is telling that the next major feature film adaptation starring Robert Downey Jr. decided to take a jarringly different interpretation of the character to get out of Brett's shadow.EpisodesThe Adventures of Sherlock HolmesFirst Series (1984) A Scandal in Bohemia The Dancing Men The Naval Treaty The Solitary Cyclist The Crooked Man The Speckled Band The Blue CarbuncleSecond Series (1985) The Copper Beeches The Greek Interpreter The Norwood Builder The Resident Patient The Red Headed League The Final ProblemThe Return of Sherlock HolmesFirst Series (1986) The Empty House The Priory School The Second Stain The Musgrave Ritual The Abbey Grange The Man With the Twisted Lip The Six Napoleons The Sign of Four (feature length adaptation, 1987)Second Series (1988) The Devil's Foot Silver Blaze Wisteria Lodge The Bruce-Partington Plans The Hound of the Baskervilles (feature length adaptation, 1988)The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes (1991) The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax The Problem of Thor Bridge Shoscombe Old Place The Boscombe Valley Mystery The Illustrious Client The Creeping ManFeature-length Episodes The Master Blackmailer (1992) The Last Vampyre (1993) The Eligible Bachelor (1993)The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1994) The Three Gables The Dying Detective The Golden Pince-Nez The Red Circle The Mazarin Stone The Cardboard Box

Sherlock Holmes / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Sherlock Holmes / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Later Granada episodes would play this trope hard, but the most notable instance of it in the Adventures run is the ending of "The Greek Interpreter," which includes the run's one moment of Family-Unfriendly Violence. In "The Norwood Builder," the decoy bones used in the staged fire are human, rather than rabbit. (Bravo to Granada. C'mon, Sir ACD, rabbit bones? Not even Scotland Yard could possibly mistake them for being a human's!) "The Eligible Bachelor", Granada's adaptation of "The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor", transforms the story from a villainy-free comedic romance into a very dark gothic horror piece involving multiple murders, insanity, imprisonment and physical and psychological torture.

Sherlock Holmes / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: The ending of â€œThe Last Vampyreâ€� suggests that Watson did this deliberately for this particular case; the original tale (â€œThe Adventure of the Sussex Vampireâ€�) just involved Jack Ferguson as a disturbed boy trying to poison his new sibling out of jealousy, but here Jack is partially crippled and outright delusional, believing that he and his self-appointed â€œmentorâ€� John Stockton are actual vampires. After Jackâ€™s actions lead to the death of his infant half-brother, his father is Driven to Madness and actually stakes Stocktonâ€™s corpse in the belief he was a true vampire, and Jack dies when he tries to fly off an old castle. As Holmes and Watson prepare to leave by train, Holmes asks if Watson will write up this case, and Watsonâ€™s words suggest that he will edit it to make it more palatable for the public.

Holmes replies, "I leave all questions of literary style to your expertise!" before turning and looking directly into the camera with a hint of a smile. In "The Final Problem", Watson speaks into the camera to address his final words to the audience.

Sherlock Holmes / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: Jeremy Brett and David Burke usually look no older than forty, though they were about ten years older when the episodes were filmed. To turn this thing on its head, Holmes and Watson themselves ought to be Younger Than They Look, as neither of them would have been older than their thirties in most of these episodes. As for Jeremy Brett and Charles Grey, Grey actually was seven years older than Brett, the exact age difference between Mycroft and Sherlock, but Grey looks a lot older than that - standing side by side, you'd think that Mycroft in the series is at least seventeen years Sherlock's senior rather than seven.

Sherlock Holmes / int_3ec18c6f	comment	Sherlock Scan: It is Sherlock Holmes, after all. The makers would occasionally give Watson some of these to demonstrate that he wasn't the bungler of previous adaptations and had taken on some of Holmes' methods — a common variant would be for Holmes to make his usual lofty pronouncements about a visitor to 221B Baker Street and then for Watson to then politely explain to the appropriately astonished visitor exactly how Holmes reached his conclusions. At the start of "The Resident Patient", Watson is given the opportunity to perform a Sherlock Scan on Holmes himself, to explain Holmes's apparent bad mood and unexpected presence at the barber. Sherlock responds with a list of plausible alternate explanations for the clues that Watson picked up on, but finally he grudgingly admits that Watson was, in fact, right all along.

Sherlock Holmes / int_5663a595	type	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
Sherlock Holmes / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In both the original story and episode "The Priory School", Holmes snarkily taunts the Duke, first over his reluctance for Holmes to investigate his son's disappearance, and later when demanding payment for solving the case before telling the Duke the solution. In the story, Holmes does so as a strategy, because he has already deduced the Duke has recovered his son and is shielding the kidnapper. The episode changes this but keeps the snarking, making Holmes seem needlessly cruel.note However, Holmes' snarking could also be recontextualized as that he still knows that the Duke knows who the kidnapper is. Because "The Norwood Builder" was adapted for the second series of the Adventures rather than the Return, the adaptation drops Holmes' reference to Professor Moriarty (who hasnâ€™t yet been introduced in the show), but retains Holmes' complaint that there are no more interesting crimes in London. Two episodes later, in The Red-Headed League, Holmes displays clear and presumably long-standing familiarity with Moriarty's work, painting him as the backbone of the criminal world and one of his most formidable antagonists, which rather undercuts his earlier complaints of boredom. This is compounded by Holmes making a very similar complaint in "The Copper Beeches", just two episodes before "The Norwood Builder".

The adaptation leaves out the line towards the end of the original story where Holmes admits that one observation Watson made during his recon (the mystery cyclist appearing to adjust his necktie) should've told him everything he needed to know about the case, and he also earlier admits that his own visit to the area wasn't much more successful. In "The Greek Interpreter," Mycroft places a missing persons notice in the paper after hearing Mr. Melas' story. This, of course, alerts Kemp and Latimer that Melas has betrayed their secret and they abduct him at gunpoint.

Holmes, on the other hand, is shown to be careless with his health, easily bored because of his fast mind, absolutely dependent upon mental stimulation, brilliant, quirky, fond of "his Boswell"... And just look at him when he's sitting all folded up before the fire - it's a powerful image. He's just alone, and he'll always be a bit alone.

Also, the episodes run in a very different chronological order than the stories/don't have much chronology at all, and both Holmes and (especially) Watson are many years older than they were in most of the stories, since the series takes place over the course of only a few years, while the stories take place over the course of more than two decades (even when not counting a handful of outliers that stretch it to nearly four decades).

In this story, Holmes expresses his belief that all country manor houses are liable to be more dangerous than the city.

And it is hilarious. The look on Watson's face is what really perfects the whole scene. At the beginning of "The Solitary Cyclist", Holmes is about to perform a chemistry experiment that a case he's investigating hinges on when Violet shows up with the focus case of the episode. At the end of the episode, Holmes once again attempts the experiment, saying that the reaction it creates will determine the result of the case. The reaction in question is the room filling with smoke, Holmes and Watson shoving their heads out a hastily opened window to get breathable air, and someone in the street below calling the fire department. This was apparently the chemical reaction that Holmes was expecting.
