[@mukundphanasalkar3887]

I'm very glad that the sound was adequate for me in this video. Thank you so much...

[@thebudkellyfiles]

Sherlock and Watson at their best. Thanks!

Those horses can move quickly, surprisingly with a wagon attached.

[@feralbluee]

this is first one of these that actually makes sense. the actor playing Lestrade is really good. i've seen him in other productions, too. :}

[@dennisday2049]

Well, it did not make sense to me. Please tell me.

[@realitycheck3363]

Ah yes, one of those good old fashioned car chases, before cars were invented.

[@poppyf01]

An incredibly fantastic horse-chase...with dramatic music....:-D I absolutely love this series!! Thank you @MemorieLane1980 for posting these vids!!! And I don't know the actor's name but very nice to see the "The Resident Patient" from Granada's Sherlock Holmes as Lestrade....and a very energetic Lestrade at that.

This series draws much from Sheldon Reynold's other Sherlock Holmes series with Ronald Howard in 1954. Some of the stories are directly from that series. Some of the story aspects are drawn but not a rework of the original. All those Holmes will recognize Patrick Newell from the Granada production of classic Holmes with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. He played Blessington from The Resident Patient a canonical story.

I find the plot quite weak. However, I really like the characterisations, especially of Lestrade and Dr Watson. I have always found bumbling Watsons irritating. There is no way Sherlock would tolerate an idiot as a companion. Also, although Lestrade may be unimaginative, a senior Scotland Yard inspector is (as here) going to be a perfectly intelligent policeman. Here, all the characters make sense.

[@richardrejmer8721]

I agree. . Some of the older portrayals of Lestrade made him out to be an idiot that couldn't find his own arse with both hands so how he ever rose to the rank of Inspector is totally ridiculous. . and they also portrayed Watson as a total bumbling moron. Holmes would never tolerate even being in the presence of such idiots. . let alone work or live with them

​@@richardrejmer8721 Watson in the 1950's was a few notches above "bumbling "

[@soumitrabose6330]

Great.

[@brianhaskard1042]

Sheldon Reynold's versions of Sherlock Holmes stories are very entertaining, however beware of men wearing obvious fake moustaches, mutton chops & beards.

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

The shrunken heads really have nothing to do with the story.

[@realitycheck3363]

At least they made an appearance. In which movie did you play?

[@elinannestad5320]

It's a story. In this story-world, shrunken heads are ok, an equivalent of a creepy text message. Freddie was making a theatrical set-up, pretending there was a threat from an exotic villain.

Several of my teachers accused me of the Shrunken Head Syndrome
