Sherlock Holmes
€46,99
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes: The classic BBC TV series.
Regarded by many to be the best incarnation of the Baker Street sleuth, Douglas Wilmer gives a career-defining performance in this celebrated BBC series. Intelligent, quick on his heels, and bearing a striking resemblance to the original Sidney Paget illustrations, Wilmer’s portrayal is possibly the closest to Conan Doyle’s original vision that there has ever been. In 2012, his status as legend within the Sherlock pantheon was cemented when he was asked to make a cameo appearance in Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch.
The first story in this series, The Speckled Band, was originally produced as part of the BBC drama strand Detectives. Appearing alongside Wilmer, as Holmes’ loyal companion Dr John Watson, was the great Nigel Stock. Such was the success of the adaptation that Wilmer and Stock were reunited a year later for a full 12-part series. With a supporting cast that included Clochemerle star Peter Madden as Inspector Lestrade, TV veteran Derek Francis as Mycroft Holmes, and guest stars such as Peter Wyngarde (Department S, The Innocents) and Patrick Troughton (Doctor Who), the popularity of the series gave rise to a second series, in which the role of Sherlock was played by Peter Cushing.
Presented for the first time on UK DVD, this long-awaited release also includes an array of fascinating special features, including two reconstructions of partially-surviving episodes, an alternative presentation of the Detectives pilot, an alternative title sequence, an interview with Douglas Wilmer and a number of newly-recorded audio commentaries.
Bonus Features:
- Original 1964 Detectives pilot episode The Speckled Band
- All surviving episodes from the 1965 series
- Alternative Spanish audio presentation of The Speckled Band
- Alternative title sequence for The Illustrious Client
- The Abbey Grange episode reconstruction, featuring a newly-filmed sequence of Douglas Wilmer reading the first half of the story, followed by all surviving original footage

- Fully illustrated booklet with new essays and full episode credits
Cast and Crew: Starring Douglas Wilmer (Octopussy, Patton), Nigel Stock (The Great Escape, The Dam Busters), Peter Madden (Clochemerle), Peter Wyngarde (Department S, The Innocents), Patrick Troughton (Doctor Who). Directed by Peter Sasdy (Countess Dracula) and others
