Dr Watson is holidaying in the Lake District. A notable personality at the hotel is Lady Frances Carfax, an independent-minded, bohemian single woman. She appears to be being harassed by a mysterious bearded man. After one of his appearances she disappears. Holmes now joins his friend to investigate.
The first episode of The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, the third series of the Jeremy Brett-starring Sherlock Holmes mysteries (the others being The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Return of Sherlock Holmes). It makes for an excellent start as the episode is filled with drama, tension and romance.
The solid, intrigue-filled plot is the backbone of this but as always it's Jeremy Brett's performance as Holmes that lifts it to another level. Another positive in this episode is some of the settings: quite picturesque.
