- Synopsis:
Sherlock Holmes is the greatest of all fictional detectives, as famous for his deerstalker and pipe, as his legendary powers of observation and deduction. He is an aloof and private man driven by a fierce intellect that gives him astounding brilliance and unfathomable eccentricity in equal measure. Jeremy Brett, the definitive Holmes, stars in two beautiful adaptations taken from the classic ITV series.
The Red-Headed LeagueThe newspaper advertisement is clear enough and certainly catches the attention of red-headed pawnbroker Jabez. Wilson (Roger Hammond). As the latest recruit to The Red-Headed League, bewildered Jabez approaches Holmes (Jeremy Brett) to discover who began the Uague, and why they have mysteriously dissolved it.
The Copper Beaches
The prospect of working as a governess for Mr. Jephro Ruscastle (Joss Ackland) would appear ideal for the young Violent Hunter (Natasha Richardson), even after his strange request for her to sacrifice her luxuriant chestnut hair. Before too long Violet accepts Holmes' offer to help "at any time, day or night".- Actors:
