- Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual.
THE CASE OF THE THISTLE KILLER: A serial killer is on the loose in London. So far, he's murdered six young women, each time leaving thistles behind. Holmes and company race to identify and capture the lunatic before he takes the life of a seventh victim.
This series is a collection of gems! So beautifully balanced.It has the lot; humour,suspense,atmosphere,charm,and above all else quality acting!
This was an excellent series that might be overlooked by many fans. Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford were an excellent and often underrated Holmes and Watson, in my opinion.
I think they make the best pair. It's annoying the other Holmes act like Watson is a servant.
Jeremy Brett was so boring..how many close ups him with no expression over and over.
They are my favorite pair.
Yes, a perfect balance. Great storylines and lots of fun. I loved this episode, especially the policeman staring into the camera, blowing his whistle.😊
Personally, I liked Brett's acting style and depiction of Holmes very much, but to each her own.
I love the English weather. It seems to always be foggy, cold and in these films, it's always dark. Very film noir. Cobblestone streets make a lovely sound when the horses go over them. Very romantic. Holmes is a lucky fellow.
The famous London fog of Holmes's era was really a kind of smog; the area was very industrial at the time. Doesn't happen now due to clean air legislation :) Ordinary fog still happens of course!
I’m in my seventies. I remember coming out of work. At 5 o clock. Could no see anything. Walked home Took me three. House
Don't romanticise London fogs, known as " pea soupers". They caused a great many respiratory problems and often led to death.
These adventures were filmed in France.
Oh, I agree, I so agree! I love everything British!!!
Love Everything Sherlock Holmes. No matter who's playing his part.
I feel the same. Love all iterations
I love all the actors playing Sherlock but I must admit Basil is my favorite.
@@ritacampbell3918He is very good. My personal favorite is Jeremy Brett.
The rapport between Holmes and Watson is endearing, love this partnership. Nothing like strangling a person in 4 seconds, in real life it takes at least 5 minutes. Poetic license is wonderful and this series is a delight. Doyle’s Watson was not a bumbling idiot as some series depict. He was a medical Dr. He had been overseas in war conditions. It’s lovely to see him portrayed as an intelligent, savvy man who loved and cared for his friend, had a mind of his own and used it. 👏👍
How would you know how long it takes, hmmm?
@@rogerscottcathey Наверно есть такой опыт.
Amazing how fast time flies without commercials. Thanks for sharing.
1080p, 2K, UHD, 4K, 8K,
All that technology and TV today still can't stand up to the classics.
Watching during the Covic-19 lockdown with the best crime buster in the world and his sidekick whom I tend to prefer more on screen than in books!
BRILLIANT BRITISH CLASSIC!!!! SUPERB ACTING AND DIRECTING + WONDERFUL OLD CHARM.
I love love this series. I so enjoy black and white movies and TV.
Me too. Love it.
Me too. Love it!
Thank you for posting, I like this serie very much
Once again I say these Blokes put on a fine show.
"He's got something on his mind, sir."... Oh Wilkins, you are too much! 😆
I really enjoy this series , wish they’d made more of them .
Monsieur J’ai suis d’accord avec vous, always very good 👍 and very friendly, and without any foul language whatsoever 😊
This is the second time over a period of months or years that I have viewed this particular episode of Sherlock Holmes. This continues to be an excellent series with good acting by the primary and supporting cast.
I love these "Elementary My Dear Watson" old classics, bravo.
Trivia: That phrase does not appear in any of Doyle's writings.
I do love them, too. So engrossing!
I'm on another Sherlock binge :)

This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the
many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage,
screen, radio and TV adaptations.
Thank you for this list.
I love the realism of most of these shows - like the Granada series with Jeremy Brett, you're back in Victorian England with Holmes and Watson, taking it all in with Lastrade as it happens...
I so agree: the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestones, the fog, the costumes....
I really appreciate this Sherlock (Ronald Howard) and this Dr. Watson (H. Marion Crawford). In my opinion, it has more subtleties than any others.
My favorites!
Sgt Wilkins is the best office asst. to Inspector lestrade.
Yes, and Lestrade underestimates him.
I think this episode is one of the best of the lot.
This is such a treat. Love the humor. Reminds me of the ABC Murders by Dame Christie
Didn't make enough episodes. I went through all of them in only a couple of days. Ronald Howard, too me, had the look of Holmes, more than any other.
nobody Uknow..... I agree. He definitely has the look and has the more humorous part of Holmes’ personality. 😁👍
Used to watch this series when it was on TV. Ronald Howard is a ringer for his dad.
Ron Howard father is Rance Howard not Ronald howard
@@randallbowers1397 Oh, are you sure Ronald's father is not Leslie Howard?
@@billh.6135 Leslie Nielsen
@@Phooie😒🙄
My first thought when I saw the woman talking to the killer was that he was a policeman.
I had to laugh at how Watson mistook the smooching couple for the killer and victim while Holmes was just staring in amusement.
“A man has a right to kiss a girl, even if she is his own wife.”
Herbert is sleeping on the couch tonight.🛋️💤
I love how the policeman looked right at the camera and blew the whistle lol I
I saw that too! I'm guessing the director called for that- breaking the 4th wall as a bit of fan service..
@@craigwall9536 😂😂😂😂
It was filmed in France.
Well don't just stand there commenting about it ! He blew the whistle at you ! Pitch in and help him ! Sheeeesh today's kids no social responsibility at all.
Yes!
"He's an amateur, sir!" - "An amateur cant't do worse than we're doing." Scotland Yard superintendent
Love these old shows. Corny as heck and very predictable, but love them.
Гениально! Замечательная серия! Я в восторге от всего сериала, от Холмса, Ватсона, Лейстрейда и Уилсона! Спасибо тому, кто выложил этот сериал!!!
"Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters." I wonder who did the hailing, but it was not someone who had read all of the original stories. The original Holmes is arrogant and high handed at times, intense, kind when he is reminded, but often forgetting the social niceties when he is deeply engaged in a case. He shows symptoms of what we might now diagnose as bipolar disorder, swinging between deep despondency and opium dependency to periods of manic activity when he goes without food or sleep. He has a theatrical flair and loves to surprise Watson and Lestrade with his conclusions, which are painstakingly worked out from tiny clues: observation and inference. n this series, he normally tricks or bluffs the criminal into giving away their identity. Also, no Victorian gentleman would wear a deer stalker hat in town. In the original stories, he dressed like any other respectable man of his time. The original Watson is not a bumblingly amiable buffoon, or a pompous old duffer. He is far more like the version portrayed by Edward Hardwicke: a former military man, a good doctor, loyal, intelligent, brave, but modest. Lestrade is not a pompous idiot but a decent policeman who lacks imagination, and who occasionally acknowledges Holmes' contribution. HOWEVER, this series is entertaining in its own right. I particularly like the Sergeant Wilkins character.
I feel that Jeremy B. portrays Holmes best. Just my thought.
@@kendalls.358 I absolutely agree.
Jeremy is The consummate Holmes 😊
Thanks for your thoughts! I haven't read the books, so it was interesting to hear how Holmes and Watson were originally written.
Brett=🤮
How many noticed at 9:15 when Lestrade went to see Holmes about the killings. He had nothing in his hands walking up the stairs and walked through the door with a huge map.
wow, good catch Eric!!
I thought he might have had it in one of his coat pockets but it is a big map.
The voice of Inspector Lestrade sounds just like "'Little John"' from the 1950's TV series, "Robin Hood". - I looked it up - and it is Little John - Archie Duncan! Just trivia.
justdeepblue it is !!! Duncan Archer
Friar Tuck is in the Red Headed League!
Everyone knew it was "Little John", it was you that was the last one to know.
Thanks for the information.
Archie Duncan is never trivial.
Thank you so much. Getting divorced. In a bad job. Fighting y bad thoughts and you bring this to the table. My release. Thank you. You don’t know what this means x
It's a moot point, but the superintendent reads out "Ovington COURT" whereas Holmes tell us "Ovington SQUARE". More importantly: ***SPOILER ALERT*** If you've not yet watched this do not continue ***SPOILER ALERT*** I've no idea why the director (Steve Previn, older brother of musician André) chose to film the legs and feet of the killer walking alongside his victim at the beginning - 1:33 ish - because even before we learn this is the killer, it got me thinking: 'black trousers and shoes, this is a policeman'. Instead of shooting from waist down, he should have framed only the girl, then we would have had no clues beyond the murderer's voice.
Steve Previn is the older brother of Andre Previn? That is interesting!
Well, it's giving a clue to the audience so we can solve the case and feel clever :)
I wish they would have given the policewoman a line or two. (police matron they called her). Felt odd not to hear a peep out of her.
Continuity Oops! When Lestrade first enters 221B he has no city map in his hand, but when enters their flat....he does.
@Greg Hamilton, I get really weary of people that think they're the only ones who spot gaffs & bloopers, and errors in the production that seems like that's all they are watching for
Greg Hamilton No the one Lestrade carried was pipe folded, pocketed one would have been handkerchief folded.
Do not feel bad if people criticize u for seeing a blooper. I see them too and wonder why the professional move makers miss it. seems odd to me. I say you have a sharp eye.!
@@alicemartinez4889, you do know there supposed gaffs and bloopers are intentional by the producers and directors and script writers! They love it when their "humor" is spotted by the audience! Peace
@@michaelwertzy9808 No, Michael, really... i did not know this...thank you for letting me know.
This Ronald Howard series had great production value. We see Inspector Lestrade's boss. Horse drawn carriages are here and there. There is a beautiful full music orchestration. A lot of work went into this series all to entertain and keep the Spirit of Private Detective Sherlock Holmes** and friend/story writer Dr. John H. Watson alive. ** SH may have been loosely styled after a Scottish medical surgeon named Joseph Bell during Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's time. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Bell
Holmes: Now, as for the woman, hmm... [goes over to Watson]
Watson: No. 🤣
Thanks so much Pizza Fix, for these classic Sherlock Holmes. I always liked seeing Ronald Howard act, Leslie Howard's son, he was a good actor like his father. You always have such great Old films , comedy, film noir , westerns , anthologies, ect. such a great variety of things ,that you provide for us to watch. From Every genre , why watch TV , weve got you Pizza Fix , and I certainly appreciate it ,Thanks again, your the best!!🌷⚘ post script, as I was reading I didn't realise, the censorship code, Hayes Code , and that it. actually started in the 30s, I thought it was later in the 50s, that it came about. Maybe I just noticed it, more then ,in comparison to different movies and time periods. 1930s- 1950s man I need to read more! lol
Thanks for the support and keep watching! May the sauce be with you.
@@PizzaFLIX Thanks Pizza Fix, I will.
Thank you. I've learned something. I thought they were three brothers, Leslie, Ronald, and Arthur Howard, who often played comedic roles such as a school teacher or professor. Wasn't Leslie amazing in films like Pygmalion, Pimpernel Smith, Of Human Bondage, and with David Niven when he played the inventor of the Spitfire fighter plane. It's an old cliche, but they just don't make them like that any more!
I have the whole series on DVD. Just love this version of Holmes.
@@talladale ...tough to watch "Bondage"...club foot, rejected the perfect woman, a dead Betty Davis.....eeeesh!!
13:25 13:41 "ever done any amateur theatricals lestrade?" _wheeze_
Excellent! Thank you for posting.
The British sure love their tea!
Better than burgers
@@gerrypippin2263It seems the Brits always put fried eggs on their burgers. Not that I'm complaining. YUM! 🍳🍔
Why are these women walking through the park alone at that time of the night?
Two seconds to determine it is a cop or one dressed as a cop.
Failed cop.
I love the first series best, as the others would have never came without that one to compare, edit and sometimes improve on.
But I am glad we have so many and the great acting back than, and I love black and white and the shadowy dark feel analogue film grain and reflections that is missing in our modern perfected digital 4k color world.
I love Lestrade in this charming series
10:00...And suddenly, a map of London appeared in Lestrade's hand...
Wilkins is the coolest.
How odd you should say that! I made a comment _right now_ that Wilkins is not as stupid as he's made out to be.
He's the unsung hero of the whole series!😁🍻 He pays attention to Holmes's methods and applies them.👮♂️
Bumbling is the key word to why I like the series with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke best. Hardwicke's Watson doesn't play the fool.
Brett=🤮
Thanks for the updates brilliant sherlock
wilkins is my favorite character in the series
What the...?! Where'd Lestrade get that map?! He didn't have it when he came up the stairs! There's the biggest mystery of this episode!
If it was raining it may have been tucked under his coat.
@@suecollins3246 Well, it _IS_ London, so the odds of it having been raining are pretty good, I suppose.
" Come, Watson! The game's afoot!"
This was a good one
I get so engrossed in these episodes while I'm knitting that I lose count and have redo whole sections, I wouldn't have it any other way.
👍👍👍💕 thank you‼️
Finally!! At 12:06 Holmes mentions that the thistle is the official flower of SCOTLAND
Thank you 🤗
You didnt mention raining.
After all, they're called the British Isles...
I, too, love these old Sherlock Holmes black and whites films.
I wish someone would rework the film so that the quality of the images was better, but thank you for the upload!
They're _old_ !
I do love Sherlock Holmes with Ronald Harlord.
Only wonder, why did people walk in the park at foggy night? Was it the custom that days?
Still nothing better than an old movie to take you away from the world today 👍👍👍👍
Wahaooo.....thought we lost you....happy you're back!!
A quick half hour fix thanks for posting it.
Thanks!
Hi Rebecca🍕THANK YOU🍕
Wilkins is the best. Just love Lestrade uses all Wilkins facts as his own.
How cool is it, watching a mistery on a stormy 🌃
very good, well-written episode
Sherlock Holmes helps Scotland Yard to track down a killer who has been leaving three thistles next to each of the women he has murdered
Why are you telling us that? We know!
Are you at the North Pole?
@@robertwalker5521 Doesn't beat a complete stranger coming up to my partner & I,pointing an accusing finger & saying "You're Canadian!"My partner just smiled & said "Yes,I know".As my Gramma used to say "None so queer as folk".
Love it. Great show
The superintendent almost got Lestrade into drag and Holmes tried to get Watson into drag!😂😂😂 👗 💃🏻
Thanks . Excellent
These blokes put on a fine show.
The killer's boots...my grandfather in Virginia wore those all his life, he was born in 1888, wore English wool suits and a wool flat cap too, English heritage.
Cute
Did anyone else notice the inspector entered Holmes building empty handed, then entered Holmes apt with a large rolled up map? Lol
I figured it out right away what fun, thank you Pizza Flix.
Thank you!🌸
From the time Lestrade walked up the stairs to Holmes apartment to the time he entered, he somehow managed to acquire a large map. Hm....curious.
I have watched all the Sherlock Holmes mysteries with both Rathbone and Brett. This new one is like a scifi. Moriarity keeps showing up or has sent people after Sherlock even though he's dead. Sherock is supposed to be dead too but BBC found a way to bring him back too.
Like this version best. The movies with Rathbone are in the wrong time and Watson is not intended to be a joke. The two main actors are great though. This is better character based.
That’s GOOD watchin!!! 👍👍👍
Stake the park out by pacing up and down in front of it ;-)
sherlock holmes was the first profiler
That's why I love the old shows and movies. We see the beginnings of profiling and different evidence and investigative techniques. Wonderful, aren't they?
I wonder if anyone ever thought Jack the Ripper could have been a copper
Oh, I'd say... EVERYBODY...
He was a Cop for sure. He played right under their noses Everytime he killed. He would've been a good cop if he was not a killer ofcourse.
Jack the Ripper was a very skilled butcher. Which meant he probably either _was_ a butcher or a surgeon.
He was an extended member of the Royal Family. That's why it was kept hush-hush.🙀
genius sherlock,, like it so much ,, well done ,,
There have been many actors to portray Dr. Watson, I don’t care at all for how NIgel Bruce portrayed him. He made Dr., Watson out to be a buffoon, which he wasn’t. Sir Conan Doyle portrayed him as very intelligent. I can’t watch the Sherlock Holmes episodes with Basil Rathbone and NIgel Bruce.
Nigel was very poorly portrayed, as if Watson were silly, dumb and caricatured. but we know it was the fault of the production at the time!
I am so happy for these restorations and tha they were NOT "colorised"! Bob
I remember when TV shows were in black and white and we listened to radio program. Where we lived at we didn't get to much reception
I remember when growing up in the 50s and 60s there was a lot of shows still on radio.
doesn't a woman know better than to take sweets from a stranger , especially on a dark foggy street with no one around ? and why is that police man running up even though it is evident he had no idea of anything going on ?
That policeman was on what is called a 'beat'. They would walk a specific area (called the beat) over and over again for their entire shift.
Yeah, really. He's probably one of those people who don't know how to use capital letters.🦤
This story is reflecting reality just now.
Short and nice.
Sgt Wilkins isn't as stupid as he's made out to be.
Why was the superintendant's voice dubbed? Was the actor not British?
I wondered the same thing!
He was French
We woud'nt b escorted through the park nowadays if there was a killer on the loose, ha! NO WAY!!! Because the police don't give a shit, plus none of them r proper gentleman. Take care all u women out there, and the men. From Rachel ov the UK Sheffield xxx
So the plan was the Thistle Killer would walk past a uniformed sergeant & detective standing at the park gate, into the park & murder a lady there, falling right into the trap. Funny thing was, it worked.
❤😘 thank you that was great..
I like this Watson. He seems to be intelligent at least that one with Basil Rathbone just makes me want to scream
Couldn't agree more. Nigel Bruce plays a buffoon, so unfortunate.
Love how Sherlock Holmes solve crimes....
AND HE IS NOT AMATEUR!!!!!!
LOL. They only meant amateur as in he does not do it as a career. Art is the same. If you are painting for a hobby, you are an amateur, regardless of how good you are. If it is your means of making a living, you are a professional.
@@cathyroberts1148 He knows what it meant, calm yourself! Really? LOL
Well edited episode. Holmes-Watson teaming: this Watson can goof up but is not shown as so idiotic compared to Nigel Bruce - such a buffoon that Sherlock must surely tire of him!
