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 UNLUCKY GAMBLER: Young Andrew Fenwick hires Holmes to find his father, Herbert, who's been missing for three weeks. Holmes and Watson discover he was a gambler who needed to hide from his impatient debtors. To catch Mr. Fenwick and bring him back to his family, Holmes get Lestrade to make a false arrest during a stakeout at one of the man's favorite pubs.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are England's equivalent of The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Crime fighting heroes and champions of justice.

Bittersweet episode. The ending was sweet in saving the father's good character in his son's eyes and stopping the robbery. However, considering the father owed one man alone a 1,000 pounds much less bars and other gambling dens, it seems unlikely they will wait for him to pay it off in installments and his wife is still ill. We all know how expensive medical help is! 😢

I went back to it, there are audiobooks in Spotify. Quite close ! Watson actor here also played Sherlock roles on the radio, like their audiobook that time :)

@johanne577 10 ай бұрын

what this Howard series got right from A Study in Scarlet canon: 1. Watson’s narrations of the case 2. Watson was hit by a bullet on the shoulder, not the leg as in other adaptations, and so he did not limp. 3. 221 B has a main door to the street, and inside, has stairs going up to Unit B. 4. Sherlock’s odd violin habits - he plays well at times, and then carelessly scrape at times, to the annoyance of Watson. 5. Sherlock smokes tobacco, but none of the narcotics. In A Study in Scarlet, Watson notices the “temperance and cleanliness of his whole life, forbidding such a notion.”

"Fear is conquered, fortitude is the victor", says Holmes - well we could certainly learn from that young man in these days of Covid 19 where we are afraid of our own shadows and terrified of coming into contact with people. I never ever considered that we wold give up our freedoms so easily, at the drop, of a mask, so to,speak. And terms like "Social distancing; social isolation; and lock-down sum up beautifully how we have been transformed into a completely negative thinking world in two shakes of a viruses tail. Wake up world and show a little fortitude otherwise we really are thoroughly fucked.
