After watching so many short 26 minute episodes, I wonder how Lestrade ever made it into Scotland Yard? Most of the time, he has his mouth open but no words....until his Sergeant or Holmes put the words in his mouth!

One of my most favourite episode.. Sooo humanly ❤️

[@walterwheeler5465]

This was another excellent episode in the 1954 "Sherlock Holmes" series. Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford do well in their respective roles. It is hard (maybe unfair) to compare this 26 minute episode with other adaptations of 60 minutes or more or a higher budget.

[@kweejibodali3078]

excellent point.. i think it is extremely good value ! i often prefer howard and crawford whatever the case

[@johanne577]

the 60 minute ones just over extend lame plots anyway, with little to no sleuthing value to the audience, exasperating to watch. this series got good laughs mostly, and some really genius ones.

[@MB-dg3lr]

I like them cos Holmes is still kind, and Watson isn't a complete idiot

[@johanne577]

@@MB-dg3lr yeah, same thought as the producer Sheldon Reynolds. He was 31yo himself, and chose to make a young Sherlock too, based on A Study in Scarlet. 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]

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.”

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.

"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.
