Description
FULLY REVISED & UPDATED EDITION
The 41 live-action adaptations produced by Granada Television between 1984 and 1994 remain, to this day, the most perfect screen depictions of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes adventures ever made, capturing in vivid close-up the infinite modes of Victorian life and the most convincingly credible Holmes in all of film.
Comprising detailed production history, cast and crew anecdotes and deep-dive analysis, Granada’s Greatest Detective examines a series of works that have now passed into legend.
This revised and updated edition incorporates:
• the final resolution to a number of mysteries that have surrounded
the programme for more than forty years;
• previously undisclosed and candid revelations from cast
and crew members;
• excerpts from a never-before-printed interview with Jeremy Brett;
• an expansive overview of the programme’s four distinct eras.
This is the full-length study of one of the most celebrated interpretations of the Great Detective ever committed to screen.
