When Granada Television began reproducing the Sherlock Holmes mysteries for television, and PBS began broadcasting them in the early 90's, the world was reintroduced to the hero of logic, justice, and deduction.  And Granada did the series the ultimate justice by netting stage veteran Jeremy Brett to portray the super-intellectual Sherlock Holmes.  Mr. Brett's commanding presence, dedication, and integrity make every adventure a joy for fans of Conan Doyle's master sleuth.  Edward Hardwicke exposes us to a Dr. Watson with depth, emotion, and intelligence. These spellbinding adventures are packed with mystery and suspense. Don't miss a single clue in these deadly games of cat and mouse.
