Sherlock Holmes is the overall title given to the series of Sherlock Holmes adaptations produced by the British television company Granada Television between April 24, 1984 and April 11,1994.

Of the 60 Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 43 of them were adapted in the series, spanning 36 one-hour episodes and five feature-length specials. (Episode 40 incorporates the plot lines of both "The Adventure Of The Mazarin Stone" and "The Adventure Of The Three Garridebs". Episode 35 "The Eligible Bachelor" has material from both "The Adventure Of The Noble Bachelor" and "The Adventure Of The Veiled Lodger".

The series was broadcast on the ITV network in the UK and starred Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. Dr. Watson was first played by David Burk in the first series (Adventures) and by Edward Hardwicke from the second series (Return) onwards.

OUTSTANDING! Jeremy Brett was my Holmes. I preferred David Burke. :)

I think they were both good in the role of Sherlock Holmes.

Oh, both were good for sure. But Burke gets the nod from me at least.

I have enjoyed all of the versions of Sherlock Homes over the years. Both British and American versions have been well adapted to the main concept.
