Overview from ITV AT 50 : There hadn't been a proper TV treatment of Conan Doyle's irascible invention for almost 20 years when, in 1983, Granada decided to begin working through all the author's short stories with all the cash, resources and late-Victorian smog they could muster.
John Hawkesworth, the brains behind Upstairs, Downstairs and The Duchess of Duke Street, was put on script duties. A fully-functioning Baker Street was slung up just round the corner from the Rovers Return and peopled with numerous rozzers, coppers, tinkers and nabobs. And gazing down on them all, from the suitably cavernous windows of 221B, was Jeremy Brett. Here was Granada's trump card: a well-known and accomplished actor willing to go to the lengths of losing weight, dying his hair and taking up pipe smoking to properly inhabit the world's most famous detective. The extent to which Brett had clearly immersed himself in the role proved irresistible. Handy Links: Sherlock Holmes Movie Trailer.
