American producer Sheldon Reynolds had loved the Sherlock Holmes stories since he was a child, and while in Europe, he conceived the idea of bringing Sherlock Holmes to television, something no one had done before. But he did not want to repeat the mistakes of the earlier Sherlock feature films, and he did not want to perpetuate popular but stilted of Basil Rathbone. He said,

"It was when I was reading A Study in Scarlet," he said. "I was suddenly struck by the difference between the character in the book and that of the stage and screen. Here, Holmes was a young man in his 30s, human, gifted, of a philosophic and scholastic bent, but subject to fateful mistakes which stemmed from overeagerness and lack of experience."

He continued to say that in the early Holmes stories like A Study in Scarlet, Conan Doyle, "had not yet grown tired of his character, who later became a literary monster for him. And, as literature,  the earlier stories are far better. But practically every stage and screen presentation of the detective is based on the later stories."

The ghost declares her ultimatum! "It is my own portrait and you will NOT sell it!"	"That girl's a jailbird! And she's guilty! And she's going to hang! And that's the end of the case!"
Would you like some deadly poison with your tea?	Is Lestrade about to be scalped?!

The problem now was to find an actor capable of portraying this new (yet classic) Sherlock Holmes. Reynolds's answer came in the form of a young, energetic man named Ronald Howard, son of the legendary Leslie Howard. He was talented actor who played a fresh, sharp contrast to the Holmes of the movies. He said of his role,

 "In my interpretation Holmes is not an infallible, eagle-eyed, out-of-the-ordinary personality, but an exceptionally sincere young man striving to get ahead in his profession. Where Basil Rathbone's Holmes was nervous and highly-strung, mine has a more ascetic quality, is deliberate, very definitely unbohemian, and is underplayed for reality."

Words of wisdom from Sherlock	"Fiddle? Violin case!"
Through London in a covered wagon!	Uh-oh, what's Holmes done now?

Of course, Holmes is not complete without his companion, Dr. Watson. And this Dr. Watson is no bungler! Howard Marion-Crawford gave us a level-headed, courageous and quite knowledgeable army doctor with a powerful right hook!

"I had never thought of Watson as the perennial brainless bungler who provided burlesque relief in the earlier portrayals."  Crawford said.  "He is a normal man, solid on his feet.   A medical student who gives valuable advice.   He is also very sincere and honest and has a keen sense of humour. In other words, he is a perfect foil to Holmes' youthful buoyancy."

Sign the papers, monsieur...  or die!

Is he thinking about fishing... .....or murder?

Variety Magazine called this television series, "A winner that avoids the customary clichés that seem inevitable in any treatment  of the Conan Doyle stories... Ronald Howard makes an excellent Holmes. He's got the fine features one expects in the man, plus a commanding voice. And, bless us, he doesn't overplay. H. Marion Crawford is something new in Doctor Watson, a commonplace type and by no means a buffoon. Archie Duncan is also good as the blustering Inspector Lestrade"

The Baker Street Irregulars said of the creators of this series, "They capture the full flavour of the times, and portray faithfully the characteristics and the mood which are, to us, the essence of these tales. We felt ourselves — and what could be more than this? — back in Baker Street again."
