Written by Michael Cox, producer of the Granada series, suggested his idea for a definitive version of the Sherlock Holmes stories to Granada Television in 1981 and the first film reached the screen three years later. Since then, the series has been seen all over the world and Jeremy Brett's portrayal of the great detective has been widely acclaimed. But this book is not only about one man's acting achievement. It is a tribute to the other actors around him and the contribution of writers, directors, designers, and the whole production team which supported them, and about the controversial process of adapting classic literary fiction from the page to the screen. Each of the forty-one films in the series is analysed in relation to the Conan Doyle story on which it is based.
