Rough around the edges, this 1965 run of BBC Doyle adaptations has sly, incisive Douglas Wilmer and stolid, bristling Nigel Stock as a intense’fierce’exquisite Holmes and Watson team. It offers a peculiar ly dark, Victorian gothic cruelty as tyrannical stepfathers plot against quivering heiresses in ramshackle mansions and the great detective sees through dastardly schemes in grubby slums and posh drawing rooms.
