Basil was the REAL Holmes, no one comes close to Rathbone! Weissmuller the real Tarzan Falk the real Columbo Connors the real Mannix Jack Lord the real Steve McGarrett! The follow on actors no matter how good they are can never replace the original actors who made the characters their own in the public consciousness!
So many versions of Sherlock. The recent ones with 'hi-tech' hardware (contraptions) are my least favorite, esp the rapid pace of dialogues (tone if voices uneven) & movements. Couldn't care much for them. Jeremy Brett my better favorite for now till I see the others.
The baby is so cute , but the sound effects made him sound like a cat or a parrot. Its amazing how much plot and action they could put into 26 minutes. It gives it a higher energy than the films .
A new Sherlock Holmes for me, the two actors work well together, and suite the roles. These short mysteries are very addictive. Great upload. I'd thought I'd seen all the past Holmes actors.
@@robinstevens7651 I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan . I have book's , movies, and documentaries, But ,not the playlist you suggested . I am much obliged 😉
I love the way the actors play multiple roles. It reminds me of live theater. I did some of that myself and occasionally found myself having more stage time than the main actors when playing several bit parts in a production. That was so much fun. I'd highly recommend trying some community theater for a fun time with enjoyable people!
I like all the different Sherlock Holmes and Drs. Watson. Each portraying actor brings their own unique and distinctive quality to their characters. I like them all. Although I do think the best looking are Ronald Howard who looks like his father, and who I always like when I was a kid, and Geoffery Whitehead. Bravo for all the actors who portrayed Holmes and Watson 😁👍
Wasn’t Leslie Howard the spitting image of his father! They look startlingly just alike! Both wonderful actors too. I agree w others on here that his Holmes is perhaps a shade better than that of Basil Rathbone’s. Much as I like the latter’s portrayal well enough, this one seems more real, less acted, less in costume. The Watson here I’ll have to get used to as I loved the two who accompanied Jeremy Brett’s noble detective who seemed to walk straight out of the book onto the screen. Many thanks for digging this long-buried treasure up for us late keepers of the night. Perfect accompaniment.
Canadian Cuck Fighter i found Nigel Bruce’s Watson to be a bumbling half wit. As he was a dr this portrayal didn’t sit well with me at all, I go for H Marion, he at least was a thinker and a fighter and a real assistant to Holmes, but each to his own, it’s nice people have their own favourites,
@@Lightonahill25 Correct! Leslie Howard's father was of course Trevor, best remembered for his portrayal of Captain Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty. (By the way, what was the name of the ship in that movie? It's been bugging me for weeks.) Ronald Howard's real father was Francis, better known to British audiences as the comedian Frankie Howerd, but this was kept secret at the time because it did not fit with Frankie's public image so his brother Leslie stepped in.
am happy to be able to watch Sherlock Holms with different actors. am to busy watching amd being happt to view so many foe free. thank you so much. God bless
I so appreciate Ron Howard’s kind heart, intelligence, gentle spirit and humour - it seems he is very-much like his Dad. I loved Ronald Howard as Sherlock in this film; Watson, however, was not at his best. ;) Thank-You!!
It's funny. Even time one sees a "new" Sherlock Holmes, they always seem the "best". Then you see another one you have never seen, like Ron Howard here, and then THEY are the best. lol
There's a few episodes in this series, like the Blind Man's Bluff, the Case of the Perfect Husband (which had Michael Gough), and this one, that have this dark, creepy, disturbing aura about them. This one has always stuck in my mind. The description of the murder of Billy's grandfather always stuck out to me. And of course, that ironic ending. The only bad thing I could say is that I would have liked to have known why Baxter killed Billy's grandfather. P.S These are best watched with the lights turned off, by candlelight.
Jeffrey Dahmer drugged and strangled his victims. A killer being friendly but carrying out his murder is ruthlessly cunning. It's devilish. It's inhuman.
I have been watching these Sherlock Holmes shows and enjoying them. I gave up watching television years back. Turned it on the other day whilst setting up my television and computer after a move. During a show, at each intermission there were four commercials. Turned it off and switched over to RUclips, I will now sometimes watch a PBS show, but even then they have commercials. But, I noticed now that RUclips has advertisements right on the site where I am watching a show. Oh, well. Thank you for posting!
Coincidentally, a UK channel called Talking Pictures TV has just started showing this series, most recently this episode on 1st September, but if it's dreadful commercials you want, come to Britain, where you will be deluged by adverts that are shallow and loud, appealing to a target audience that fits the same description, fat and ignorant, permanently transfixed by their iPhones, and with nothing in their heads but the latest reality tv show. Quality productions like this would be lost on them, and if you mentioned Sherlock Holmes, they would ask if he was in Dancing on Ice.
That's RONALD HOWARD as Sherlock Holmes. He's the son of Leslie Howard, who played Ashley Wilkes in "Gone With the Wind," and Sir Percy Blakeney in "The Scarlet Pimpernel." He also starred opposite Bette Davis in "Of Human Bondage." Both men are absolutely dreamy! imo
Ronald Howard as Holmes is growing on me after abit of adjustment. Basil Rathbone I found more character dynamic, with a full range especially in the humor dept. Thank you, Pizza Fix for adding these half hour episodes which are not the 1 hr ones I have been used to for my nighttime Sherlock Fix. The other Watson was comical and buffoonish and that actor was indeed my cup of tea.
I think Rathbone is the best Holmes but this is a better version then the Rathbone movies. The best Dr Watson is this competent and brave but beleves in the best in people. The movies With Rathbone never gave the Doctors actor a chance. The cops should not be stupid either
Basil Rathbone is my favorite. Also Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson is comical and a nice balance. Only problem I have is cops are portrayed as bumbling types

Whoa!!! Thank You Sooo Much for this Fantastic List!!! I didnt know that all those actors portrayed Sherlock There are some very early names not familiar with That's some research you did and really appreciate the time you took to do it!! Basil will always be my favorite!! 😊👌
Holmes's mannerism of questioning for keeping cool for a vivid and haunting memory of unusual rope was experimented with common sense and prompt action.
The kindness of Holmes, he was economizing by walking but when he heard the woman's dangerous predicament, he didn't waste any time to hail a carriage to get to her.
You anticipate the later episode, "The Case of the Missing Housekeeper" in which Holmes and Watson, tipped off by the fact that no washing-up is being done and they are having to cook their own meals, realise that Mrs Hudson has not been seen in a single episode. Now hot on the trail of clues, Holmes wonders if the disappearance is linked to the pungent odour that has pervaded the apartment for months, and the strange fluid seeping under Mrs Hudson's bedroom door. Brilliantly deducing that she has died, he says, "You know what to do, Watson?" (meaning call the police), to which Watson replies, "Yes, Holmes, I'll get a cloth."
I like both Basil Rathbone and Ronald Howard since they both brought Sherlock Holmes to life in their own ways: Ronald Howard is much more relaxed and easygoing, while Basil Rathbone was the more mature, hardbitten, and experienced version. Both men were different, but they were clever, charming and focused, with a sense of humor that could throw anyone off and still make one smile. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were also great, except that the latter was ruined by the stupid dubs that were used.
Strange how many of the cast of these dramas in subordinate roles fail to get any mention in the credits. Lucille Vines played the pretty secretary and turned up again as Minnie O'Malley in "The Case of the Texas Cowgirl".
This Antagonist reminds me heavily of one of the Bookcharacters. I forgott the Case, but it was a earlyer one, about a Woman taking a Job as private educator and beeing used to trick the Fiance of his step/daughter in belifing she lost interest, so he can keep profiting from her heritage.
Nice stories, nice interpretation, nice all round. The one problem I have with it is that the Holmes characterization lacks his usual eccentricities. Holmes as written by Doyle, was not such a nice dude, and has been played much better with more peculiarities by Brett, Rathbone and all the modern Sherlock's. I prefer Homes with an edge.
well...he has both attitudes , he could be a nice and humorous and at the same time a selfish arrogant dude, that's his magic...and charm...the thing is that modern Sherlock's look like they had a stick in their butt...
I noticed this statement is made on each episode comments. word for word. Hmmm.An entertaining episode in the Sherlock Holmes series capably performed by Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford and a good supporting cast.
Do you notice the circle that flashes on and off bottom right at about 0437? I wonder if that means they need to change the film reel, there was a Columbo episode where that featured as part of the plot. Does anyone know for sure?
Someone, in the comment section on another episode, asked how Holmes could afford not charging his clients. Someone else said that he only charged his well-off clients, which is possible, but in the movie "Young Sherlock Holmes" they suggest that Holmes comes from money, big money, money with a capital M.
I wouldn't think that Holmes had many expenses on a case short of a few cabbies rides, a train ride there and back, and a stop in the local tea room for a cuppa talking over the case with Dr. Watson!
His little Mrs. Yes he is. Leslie also played Ashley in Gone with the Wind, he died when his plane was shot down by the Germans in WW2 . I think it was an ordinary passenger plane.
@@Soffity Correct. It was shot down by a German fighter. There were theories that they knew Leslie Howard was aboard and he had been an assassination target in revenge for making 'Pimpernel' Smith, a strongly anti-Nazi film.
I have to admit, I like this Holmes better than Basil Rathbone. I'm glad I stumbled across these.
He's funny, cleaver and has teenage good looks. It is a great series.
Right. I feel kind of bad, as I really like Basil, but Ron's more charismatic and warm.
Love basil Rathbone in HOTB however this is a low budget TV series an far better than the latter films, the 2 work better as a unit
Basil was the REAL Holmes, no one comes close to Rathbone!
Weissmuller the real Tarzan
Falk the real Columbo
Connors the real Mannix
Jack Lord the real Steve McGarrett!
The follow on actors no matter how good they are can never replace the original actors who made the characters their own in the public consciousness!

I love when Lestrad plays multiple roles my favorite is the gainsboro one with the beautiful Heather
I bet Sheldon Reynolds would be proud of how these have held up over the years, he was a genius in producing these
Good grief!! I have rarely seen a piece of work with lower production values.
Love these shows, I watch them a lot. "Quickly Watson, we've no time to lose!" rushes into the cab and then clop...clop...clop...... :-D
Exactly, the cabbie and horse are on walk speed 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What I had noticed is that Sherlock Holmes was talking to Dr, Watson for a bit before he even told the cabbie where to go! Yet he was in a hurry.
So many versions of Sherlock. The recent ones with 'hi-tech' hardware (contraptions) are my least favorite, esp the rapid pace of dialogues (tone if voices uneven) & movements. Couldn't care much for them. Jeremy Brett my better favorite for now till I see the others.
@@orlandodiola7076 I agree, and Jeremy Brett is wonderful as Sherlock Holmes.
The baby is so cute , but the sound effects made him sound like a cat or a parrot. Its amazing how much plot and action they could put into 26 minutes. It gives it a higher energy than the films .

Ronald Howard and Jeremy Brett are my two favorites. I love the both equally in the role of Sherlock Holmes.

Loved seeing Archie Duncan as Lestrade's cousin. Makeup was so good I almost missed it.

What's just as hilarious is watching Howard and Crawford trying to hide their laughter.

I really love Crawford’s sassy, charming Watson! What a great series!
I think Rathbone is the best Holmes but this is a better version then the Rathbone movies. The best Dr Watson is this competent and brave but beleves in the best in people. The movies With Rathbone never gave the Doctors actor a chance. The cops should not be stupid either
I think Jeremy Brett is the quintessential Holmes. He seems more the man Conan Doyle created in his books.
I think H. Marion Crawford is the best Watson. No disrespect to the other actors.

Basil Rathbone is my favorite. Also Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson is comical and a nice balance. Only problem I have is cops are portrayed as bumbling types

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.
Whoa!!! Thank You Sooo Much for this Fantastic List!!! I didnt know that all those actors portrayed Sherlock There are some very early names not familiar with That's some research you did and really appreciate the time you took to do it!! Basil will always be my favorite!! 😊👌
If I were the client in that establishment, I'd want a refund! Imagine being awakened to witness that demonstration before so much as a cup of tea!
I love all these old movies ...
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
Holmes's mannerism of questioning for keeping cool for a vivid and haunting memory of unusual rope was experimented with common sense and prompt action.
The kindness of Holmes, he was economizing by walking but when he heard the woman's dangerous predicament, he didn't waste any time to hail a carriage to get to her.
Thank you so much for allowing me to watch these great shows.
Love these guys but I love all Holmes movies. Thanks for the entertainment and the noisy baby💞💞💞💞
Archie Duncan, Lastrade, Little John & now Inspector MacDougall. Brilliant 😊
I watched every episode and Loved it... Really great...
Got hooked after one episode...I just love it...
I love the dramatic music... 😊

I agree love this Sherlock and love Dr. Watson he’s not a bumbling fool
Good series thanks for sharing , i have only one question why no mrs Hudson.
You anticipate the later episode, "The Case of the Missing Housekeeper" in which Holmes and Watson, tipped off by the fact that no washing-up is being done and they are having to cook their own meals, realise that Mrs Hudson has not been seen in a single episode. Now hot on the trail of clues, Holmes wonders if the disappearance is linked to the pungent odour that has pervaded the apartment for months, and the strange fluid seeping under Mrs Hudson's bedroom door. Brilliantly deducing that she has died, he says, "You know what to do, Watson?" (meaning call the police), to which Watson replies, "Yes, Holmes, I'll get a cloth."
Nothing as devious as a human being! Thank you very much.
Outstanding
And the wife will get the life insurance $ now! Thanks Sherlock, ole boy!
you can tell they're cousins LOL he does like to play the Scotsman :}
apparently, the actor Archie really was a Scotsman. from Glasgow. 😂
They make more restorative cups of tea in this series that they never drank! 😄
Wonderful and quite moving.
Think the baby over-acted a bit though at the end! KAN
The baby is so cute!
The main reason to watch in my opinion.
He'll be mid 60s now.
Indeed he's cute
I want that pram. And I don't have a kid. That's a work of art.
Very enjoyable........Thanks for posting.
There's also a Scottish Laird who looks exactly like Inspector LeStrade. Basically, all these Scots look exactly the same.
If you said that about black people, it would be racist.
I like both Basil Rathbone and Ronald Howard since they both brought Sherlock Holmes to life in their own ways:
Ronald Howard is much more relaxed and easygoing, while Basil Rathbone was the more mature, hardbitten, and experienced version.
Both men were different, but they were clever, charming and focused, with a sense of humor that could throw anyone off and still make one smile.
Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were also great, except that the latter was ruined by the stupid dubs that were used.
This one was a sad one. Poor baby without a Dad and the Dad without his grandfather.
Doesn’t miss the tiniest clue in the room but barely notices that there was a man in the bed when they arrived. 🤣
Love Watson‘s face he is trying to hold his shit together try not to laugh🤣🤣
Strange how many of the cast of these dramas in subordinate roles fail to get any mention in the credits. Lucille Vines played the pretty secretary and turned up again as Minnie O'Malley in "The Case of the Texas Cowgirl".
I think my favorite is in "The Shy Ballerina", where the murderess is Natalie Schafer (Mrs. Howell from Gilligan's Island)!
thank you love them all.
@06:29- 06:35, look at Watson. He`s apparently trying not to laugh at Lestrade`s "cousin".
This Antagonist reminds me heavily of one of the Bookcharacters.
I forgott the Case, but it was a earlyer one, about a Woman taking a Job as private educator and beeing used to trick the Fiance of his step/daughter in belifing she lost interest, so he can keep profiting from her heritage.
The adventure of the Copper Beeches
did the killer benefit from grandpa’s death here? what’s his motive? i missed it
The secretary was also in the Cowgirl episode. She's an American actress, and did a good job portraying a British accent.
Lestrade is Lestrade wherever you put him. We were not fooled!!!!!!!
Excellent plot. Maybe due to the always specially attractive "Scotish environment" ?
👍💕 thank you‼️
There is a lot of pun hang in the air in this episode.
Sherlock complimenting the baby's cranium. 😂
“standard way of handling of these things” - from the baker street nannies episode lol
Awww the secretary...the cowboy girl!!! So pretty 😍
Love this one...love Basil also. Love all of it.
Nice stories, nice interpretation, nice all round. The one problem I have with it is that the Holmes characterization lacks his usual eccentricities. Holmes as written by Doyle, was not such a nice dude, and has been played much better with more peculiarities by Brett, Rathbone and all the modern Sherlock's. I prefer Homes with an edge.
true@The Kraemer
well...he has both attitudes , he could be a nice and humorous and at the same time a selfish arrogant dude, that's his magic...and charm...the thing is that modern Sherlock's look like they had a stick in their butt...
SH is a practical joker in this series, sometimes getting too far too
I like Watson~ he smokes cigars as do I; @25 :58.
Very smooth case
7:52 why do they all pronounce "Lestrade" like that?
Great.
I noticed this statement is made on each episode comments. word for word. Hmmm.An entertaining episode in the Sherlock Holmes series capably performed by Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford and a good supporting cast.
Songs Myrth has a very difficult time staying on topic
Good Show
Do you notice the circle that flashes on and off bottom right at about 0437? I wonder if that means they need to change the film reel, there was a Columbo episode where that featured as part of the plot. Does anyone know for sure?
Good show ! 👍🏾 🙋🏽
He is not laughing anymore
She didn't drink her tea
Watson: it’s not as bad as that. Uh yeah Watson it is. Her husband is dead
Someone, in the comment section on another episode, asked how Holmes could afford not charging his clients. Someone else said that he only charged his well-off clients, which is possible, but in the movie "Young Sherlock Holmes" they suggest that Holmes comes from money, big money, money with a capital M.
I wouldn't think that Holmes had many expenses on a case short of a few cabbies rides, a train ride there and back, and a stop in the local tea room for a cuppa talking over the case with Dr. Watson!
@@kimberlykasimoff1447 Huh? Rent for the flat, meals, clothes...
Scotland Yard prolly pays him consulting fees.
Watson also publishes their adventures, so maybe earns from it too.
Excellent
Love the opening song.
Does it matter how the baby sounded. It's an old film.
I believe this Sherlock is the son of Leslie Howard, The Scarlet Pimpernell.
His little Mrs. Yes he is. Leslie also played Ashley in Gone with the Wind, he died when his plane was shot down by the Germans in WW2 . I think it was an ordinary passenger plane.
@@Soffity Correct. It was shot down by a German fighter. There were theories that they knew Leslie Howard was aboard and he had been an assassination target in revenge for making 'Pimpernel' Smith, a strongly anti-Nazi film.
watched them both films, posted here in YT too. Ronald got bigger doe eyes, i think, than Leslie. A tad handsomer.
Scarlet Pimpernel, 1934 (French Rev 1794)
Pimpernel Smith, 1939 (anti-nazi)
similar theme of a hero hiding behind a certain alter ego
OMG!! Inspector McDougall!!! I’m still laffing. But just a wee bit.
"I'm beginning to have a great deal of sympathy for my cousin, Inspector Lestrade. To say nothing of the entire London police force." HAH!
He does I deed look like his Dad!!
Pictures that move, ridiculous!
That’s for this it was great 👍
I wonder how old that baby is now
Douglas Barton maybe in their 60's idk
Dead
So the baby saw a murder just like his father, what a heart warming ending.
A humane side of Sherlock
Yes, Basil Rathbone was the best Sherlock Holmes and always will be
Hhahhahah ... the wig they stuck on Lestrade
cousin McDougal 😂
actor Archie was indeed from Glasgow, so that’s why maybe
The widow Mrs. Hooper sure looks like Joyce Van Patton.
Archie Duncan as cousin McDoogal. AKA Lestrade. He must have dressed up more than Ronald Howard.
