I love Peter Cushing as Holmes. Not saying he's the best but I love his portrayal.

[@marcolinoviolinista]

I still think he is the best, the physical description and the mannerisms are identical to those written in the books!

[@paulharmon557]

Pleased to discover this series last night. I refuse to debate and compare. I' ve enjoyed many different Holmes re-creators. Cushing offers a strong alternative to Brett. We were quite pleased with this version. The audio and video are excellent for a 50 year old source. Looking forward to watching every episode.

[@marcolinoviolinista]

I think the Holmes actors are like the Bond actors, each one bring something new and special for the character!

[@Robert_Manners]

​@@marcolinoviolinistaYes it's silly to waste time comparing the difference between the actors who have brought the character to life. Rather like comparing the sunrise from one day to the next and trying to decide which is the best.

[@oscarjacob6637]

Request the BBC to re-telet all episodes of Sherlock Holmes of Jeremy Brett...

[@browngreen933]

This is an EXCELLENT rendition. Part of that being, of course, the instant and obvious attraction between Dr. Watson and the charming Miss Marsden. Cushing does Holmes very well too.

[@DSpeir-pi6tm]

This is reminiscent of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holes and Watson in the 40's . A Job well Done on Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock parts as these character . The movie is a fun adventure and I've always like Cushing in all of his films .

[@marcolinoviolinista]

The classics still remain the best! :)

[@jonathonfloyd5757]

Edward Hardwicke and David Burke were both fantastic alongside Jeremy Brett, Nigel Bruce was good comic relief with Basil Rathbone, and Martin Freeman was nothing short of brilliant with Cumberbatch's modern take on the stories, but for my money, Nigel Stock (the Watson in these Cushing shows) might just be the best Watson. He's a good combination of intelligent, capable, and funny, while also still being properly in awe of Holmes' powers. His performance is really great.

[@rana8440]

I have read the story last night. And now I'm watching

[@2sridhark]

There is nobody like Jeremy Brett. I have his full collection with me and watch each episodes every now and then. The man was made for the role!

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Poor Mr.Brett.

[@marcolinoviolinista]

I still don't understand why Brett is so acclaimed to this day....

[@CaminoAir]

Personally, I think that attitudes had changed enough that a colder and purely intellectual Holmes was more acceptable by the time Brett played him. Brett is the most accurate to the Conan Doyle Holmes. When Rathbone played Holmes, a more traditional hero was expected. One who could handle action well and who was more capable of warmth and homour. Bruce's Watson was turned into the comic relief, because movies at that time were expected to offer the entire entertainment package. I think that Cushing's natural kindness does show through a little in his performance, but he is such a talented and professional actor that it's not a problem, just an inevitability. In other words, Cushing is temperamentally unsuited to play the part, but also has the talent to still play it.

Thanks for this upload GR. There a lot of opinions of who is the best Holmes and Watson here but if you are a Brit watching this, nostalgia comes into play and watching Cushing doing anything just gives a super warm feeling. Maybe not the best Holmes but who cares, he is a bastion of British acting in the 50's - 80's!!!!!!
