I do like Reynold's idea of making Dr. John Watson as an intelligent partner of Holmes, rather than the 1940s Hollywood of a bumbling 'side-kick' portrayed by Nigel Bruce.

Doyle, Holmes, nor Watson would have Never even heard the word "Nazi" in their life time.
They did go in an automobile. In the story the last bow. And Doyle died in 1930, the chances of him never being in a car as a travelled, wealthy, celebrated writer is also remote.
@@terrortorn also airplanes, flight was pretty common in WWI which began in 1914. The Holmes stories ended just before the war, but you are right, Doyle was part of the "jet set," of his era.
The OVER emphasis of London's Fog in most all of Hollywood's movies is so boring and ineffectual. It does get foggy sometimes in England. But Hollywood makes it out to constantly have the phenomena. It was one thing for Charles Dickens to write of the snow and hard weather in his days when the weather Was harsh. But the changing climate doesn't support that any more. London is sometimes foggy - warm air over cold ground. But Hollywood used the case to hide the background when these were filmed in Los Angeles !!
Before central heating there was often a smog in London, and since Holmes was in that time period, they made it fogy. As for this series, you are dead wrong, this was filmed in Poland.
@Dr Moriarty Didn't I wrote the same? You stated when London banned coal, it got better, I stated with the central heating, aka using gas and not coal, it got better. I know London banned coal, but only when there was an other fuel available, thus other means to heat the houses. And that happened just some 60 years ago, in the 1950-ties, the clean air act.
Lol, I remember the poison in the teapot from the earlier Reynolds's Holmes series from the 50's!
I own both bows and crossbows and Holmes should have known at a glance the difference between an arrow and a crossbow bolt!
They do a great job, all three main characters play their roles very well, much enjoyed. Thank you.
"... I am Sherlock Holmes." lol. He acknowledged his weirdness.
Tnx for the uploads.
Nothing like watching these before sleeping,love it.
Love the humour of these series :D thanks for uploading.
This is a nice reprieve from listening to a collection of the original Strand stories. There's 10 hours, on the first half alone! Nice job!
Clockwork Wolf, very nice! These could be kept in reserve. Will be! Lol! I forgot to mention this earlier, to Holmes fans, everywhere!

I like they challenge each other

Also ACD depicted Watson as intelligent and introspective. I can’t stand the Nigel Bruce Watson.
I prefer the more intelligent Dr. Watson as it's more faithful to the original but the actors fail to impress.
Love the theme tune awesome
missing the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Six minus Four = 2
I Have mentioned Both OF Us ❤❤
Funny I have always been of the opinion that four minus four is zero.

Fog is cheaper than the Real Weather of London.
Before central heating there was often a smog in London, and since Holmes was in that time period, they made it fogy. As for this series, you are dead wrong, this was filmed in Poland.
The smog in London was a killer. China has a smog problem now.
