Sherlock Holmes is a brilliant crime series, and has a brilliant star in the name of Jermy Brett, who was without doubt the best Sherlock Holmes.What is excellent about this adaptation, is the closeness to the book, and of course the acting of Brett and Hardwicke. And the fine camera work and period detail. Jenny Seagrove and Ronald Lacey did very well in their roles.But for me, the highlight was the boat on the river chase, and the introduction of Jonathan Small, who was brilliantly played by the late John Thaw.He was the best actor in the adaptation, apart from Brett. It must be really uncomfortable with a wooden leg. Great music too.This is really good, if a little creepy, Tonga was very scary. The Ian Richardson version is also good, but not as effective. 9/10 Bethany cox
