There was a series that aired in Britain some years ago starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, and let me tell you, that series was utterly fantastic. It was dead-on.

However, owing to the unfortunate interpretation of Basil Rathbone, the real Sherlock Holmes of Arthur Conan Doyle has mostly been forgotten in American culture.


...didn't that series merely add a deerstalker hat and "Elementary Dear Watson"? I haven't seen them since I was a kid, so I can't remember...

I doubt, at any rate, that the Holmes series has had to put up with nippled body suits, empty-headed nuclear physicists, invisible cars and spandex. If it has, I clearly need to add some DVDs to my Netflix Queue...
