Good Night, Mr. Holmes

Shoscombe Old Place

Another horse racing mystery! But there's a baby Jude Law, some beautiful egg cozies, and yes - a man taking advantage of his sister's fortune. And a disguise! It's Gothic mystery at its best here.

The Problem at Thor Bridge

A Brazilian wife, a blameless governess, and a whole lot of rhododenrons - Rachel and Laura unpack Winchester Prison, the Huguenots, and Cheshire vs Hampshire. 

Hound Part Two!

The second part of the Richard Roxburgh Hound of the Baskervilles. So good. Definitely better than the Granada version.

The Disappearance of Lady Carfax

A deeply unsatisfying episode by Granada - who knew that women had the ability to do what they wanted, when they wanted?  Lady Frances Carfax has disappeared from a hotel in the Lake District. So many men are deeply concerned.

Hound of the Baskervilles: Richard Roxburgh version!

We're comparing the Richard Roxburgh version of Hound of the Baskervilles to the Jeremy Brett version. Roxburgh is a very different actor, and the story is told in a different way as well - leaving out the Lankford family entirely, and focusing more on wide panoramic shots of the moor. Sir Henry is not the son but the nephew of Sir Charles. And a host of other differences that true Sherlockians will enjoy.

Hound of the Baskervilles Part 2

Holmes reveals himself to Watson and Mortimer, and introduces his only attempt at cooking - a cold stew that even Watson refuses to eat. Is Beryl Stapleton who she says she is? What happens to her brother as he runs through the moor at night? Why is the dog green?

Hound of the Baskervilles Part 1

"Mr. Holmes. They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!" With that statement, Holmes and Watson - mostly Watson - are off to Dartmoor. A horrific, large, possibly supernatural dog is haunting the moorland, and Sir Henry Baskerville is the probable target. Is the moor truly haunted? 

The Bruce Partington Plans

We'll never know who Bruce Partington was, but his plans for a secret submarine are the sole concern of this episode. Holmes becomes a submarine expert, Mycroft is bestirred from his usual rounds, and absolutely nothing is as it seems apart from oysters being in season.

Wisteria Lodge

A cartography aficianado, a Spanish visitor (because we can't have an ACD story without the othering of the...other), and a rather sinister Inspector Baynes - and a spirited pair of children - bring Holmes and Watson to Surrey, where they have to solve a distinctly Iberian mystery.

Silver Blaze

A prominent raceshorse with a magnificent pedigree is missing. His trainer is dead. And...a guard dog didn't bark. The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime provides the essential clue that allows Holmes and Watson to solve the case.
