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.

Love Everything Sherlock Holmes. No matter who's playing his part.

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.

1080p, 2K, UHD, 4K, 8K, All that technology and TV today still can't stand up to the classics.

Amazing how fast time flies without commercials. Thanks for sharing.

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. 👏👍

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!

I love love this series. I so enjoy black and white movies and TV.

I really enjoy this series , wish they’d made more of them .

I love these "Elementary My Dear Watson" old classics, bravo.

BRILLIANT BRITISH CLASSIC!!!! SUPERB ACTING AND DIRECTING + WONDERFUL OLD CHARM.

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 really appreciate this Sherlock (Ronald Howard) and this Dr. Watson (H. Marion Crawford). In my opinion, it has more subtleties than any others.

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.

I think this episode is one of the best of the lot.

"He's got something on his mind, sir."... Oh Wilkins, you are too much! 😆

Once again I say these Blokes put on a fine show.

“A man has a right to kiss a girl, even if she is his own wife.”

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...

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.

Thank you for posting, I like this serie very much

Used to watch this series when it was on TV. Ronald Howard is a ringer for his dad.

I love how the policeman looked right at the camera and blew the whistle lol I

Гениально! Замечательная серия! Я в восторге от всего сериала, от Холмса, Ватсона, Лейстрейда и Уилсона! Спасибо тому, кто выложил этот сериал!!!

Love these old shows. Corny as heck and very predictable, but love them.

Holmes: Now, as for the woman, hmm... [goes over to Watson] Watson: No. 🤣

"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.

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.

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

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

I love Lestrade in this charming series

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.

The British sure love their tea!

Excellent! Thank you for posting.

Continuity Oops! When Lestrade first enters 221B he has no city map in his hand, but when enters their flat....he does.

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.

Thanks for the updates brilliant sherlock

Two seconds to determine it is a cop or one dressed as a 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.

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.

Wilkins is the coolest.

This was a good one

"He's an amateur, sir!" - "An amateur cant't do worse than we're doing." Scotland Yard superintendent

👍👍👍💕 thank you‼️

Thank you 🤗

Thank you!🌸

Thanks . Excellent

very good, well-written episode

Wahaooo.....thought we lost you....happy you're back!!

Love it. Great show

These blokes put on a fine show.

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

I wish someone would rework the film so that the quality of the images was better, but thank you for the upload!

13:25 13:41 "ever done any amateur theatricals lestrade?" _wheeze_

A quick half hour fix thanks for posting it.

it's so obvious but i had to look it up to be sure: son of Leslie Howard. Don't i feel stupid? lol. thanks for sharing this, PF. i love sherlock holmes and can't believe there was such a wonderful adaptation out there that i hadn't seen. well, that's what youtube is all about, isn't it? sharing gems that might otherwise be missed.

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.

Still nothing better than an old movie to take you away from the world today 👍👍👍👍

How cool is it, watching a mistery on a stormy 🌃

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.

I figured it out right away what fun, thank you Pizza Flix.

wilkins is my favorite character in the series

genius sherlock,, like it so much ,, well done ,,

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?

Excellent

That’s GOOD watchin!!! 👍👍👍

❤😘 thank you that was great..

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

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.

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.

Did anyone else notice the inspector entered Holmes building empty handed, then entered Holmes apt with a large rolled up map? Lol

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!

This story is reflecting reality just now.

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.

thanks tons

Keep up the great work PizzaLa’Hutt.🤔🤣🤣.

Very good🙂

Finally!! At 12:06 Holmes mentions that the thistle is the official flower of SCOTLAND

One of the best

This has been fun so far

Sgt Wilkins isn't as stupid as he's made out to be.

10:00...And suddenly, a map of London appeared in Lestrade's hand...

Stake the park out by pacing up and down in front of it ;-)

Bellissimo 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍😘🌹

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.

Very neat

I am so happy for these restorations and tha they were NOT "colorised"! Bob

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!

Wilkins is the best. Just love Lestrade uses all Wilkins facts as his own.

sherlock holmes was the first profiler

" Come, Watson! The game's afoot!"

Lestrade owes him for preventing that deco assignment LoL

Love how Sherlock Holmes solve crimes.... AND HE IS NOT AMATEUR!!!!!!

Agree with Axio...

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

The Snake Buckle on the Thistle Killer!!!

Beware of cheaters, the brave and intellectual attempts well presented.

I wonder if anyone ever thought Jack the Ripper could have been a copper
