Meaning no disrespect to Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett is the definitive Holmes. His intense, acerbic portrayal has no peer. David Burke is Dr.Watson in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes; Edward Hardwicke is the good doctor in all the other series and the feature films.

The second series includes The Empty House, The Abbey Grange, The Second Stain, The Six Napoleons, The Priory School, Wisteria Lodge, The Devil’s Foot, Silver Blaze, The Bruce Partington Plans, The Musgrave Ritual, and The Man with the Twisted Lip.
