Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes
The Baskerville family is cursed.
Is a demonic force responsible?
In the 1600's Sir Hugo Baskerville murdered a peasant girl who refused his advances. Shortly thereafter, Sir Hugo was found dead on the moor, viciously murdered by a terrifying hound from hell. Since that fateful night, every Baskerville heir has suffered the same grisly fate, with the most recent victim being Sir Charles Baskerville. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are engaged to see that the same thing does not happen to latest Baskerville, Sir Henry. Thrown into a case full of local superstition, Holmes steers his way through a maze of ancient lore and innocent blood. Can Holmes protect Sir Henry and in the process break the howling curse that is The Hound of the Baskervilles?

Scott - To me, Jeremy Brett was Sherlock Holmes.
ReplyDeleteSame for me. Back in the day I would look forward to catching each episode on PBS.
ReplyDeleteScott, I have never seen any Sherlock Holmes stories with Jeremy Brett. They came out at a time that we were not watching television at all. We will try to remedy that. (I have not read any Sherlock Holmes either but I also plan to change that.)
