Packed with mystery and suspense, this tremendously popular Granada Television series remains true to the original Sir Arthur Conan Dolye stories. Jeremy Brett stars as Holmes; David Burke as Dr. Watson. Episodes include: The Blue Carbuncle: The Blue Caribuncle, a precious stone with a sinister history, has been stolen from the hotel room of its current owner, the Countess of Morcar. But when a Christmas goose and a battered hat fall into Holmes’ possession, he and Watson follow a trail that leads them to suspect that perhaps the wrong man has been imprisoned for the crime. The Copper Beeches: Why does Violet Hunter’s prospective employer insist that she cut off her hair to take a governess position at The Copper Beeches ? Before too long Holmes’ suspicions are confirmed when he receives a panicked message from the girl. Thus the great detective is faced with one of the most sinister puzzles of his career.
