Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE GREYSTONE INSCRIPTION (S1E16) 

This actor is the best Sherlock Holmes.😊❤

My father worked in the film industry & knew Ronald Howard (Sherlock) who was a great guy, but it was very sad that with the success of this American Series of Sherlock Holmes in the USA, he thought he had it made but the show practically destroyed his acting career & after several B movies, in the 1970’s Ronald gave up acting & opened an art gallery. In the 1980’s he wrote a book ‘In Search of My Father Leslie Howard (the Scarlet Pimpernel actor) whose Scheduled plane was shot down by the Germans over the Bay of Biscay in June 1943 which haunted Ronald. I am delighted to at last get the chance to view this series, so thank you for uploading them& last week managed to purchase the full 39 episodes on DVD. 🌹

I love this series. Some of the best and funniest Sherlock Holmes adventures ever. 👍👍👏👏👏💕💕💕

I have watched loads of Sherlock Holmes movies/series with various actors portraying Mr Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson. To me, both Mr Ronald Howard & Mr Marion Crawford, are my all-time no 1 favourite. 👍👍👍

I love the episodes that take place in old castles. It gives a great atmosphere to the show, along with the black and white filming.

One of my favorites! Know it verbatim…I love how everyone is always so well dressed…even the Greystones…holed up in a castle but looking like they’re heading out to a formal ceremony. That actress is so wholesome and beautiful.

These episodes bring a warm joy to my heart. How I LOVE them!

The old detective classic are certainly much better than most of the current modern detective T.V. shows.

SUPERBLY CLASSIC, BRITISHLY CHARMING - ENCHANTING CHARACTERS -THE BEST OF ALL VERSIONS

Absolutely wonderful episode! And this young lady is so brave&smart!

Learn To Count With Mr. Holmes. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then everything starts to go haywire, 6, things get better after six, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13! At 19:56 get ready to count along with the greatest counting music.

Another presentation of a young and a beautiful lady 😊

Thanks for posting these Sherlock movies they are great. The other newer versions of Sherlock series pay too much importance to his battle with of opioids... these sure are great 👍

These are by far my favorite Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and Inspector Lestrade. In this episode, Archie Duncan is the father, Sir Thomas Graystone.

I've loved every one of these superb stories. THANKS

Watson " sometimes I think you'd say a trip to the moon on an umbrella is simple" 🤣

A very good episode from the 1954 series featuring H. Marion Crawford and Ronald Howard. This episode maintains the high standards of plot, pacing, and acting expected from this fine series.

Love the series. Always appreciate vintage quality. Not for every eye.

For everyone wondering about the fiance, yes, he was found and reunited with his staunch beloved. This was said (quickly) during that final supper scene. Whether or not he ever received his professorship is unknown, however.

lobster and sliced toe-mot toe ,,,,,,,the theme music takes all the tress right out. I watch or listen to these almost every night,

Очень интересный сериал, спасибо за него, приятно, что много серий, прекрасная игра. Иногда это комедийные серии несмотря на все эти убийства. Но, во всяком случае, Холмс и Ватсон всегда находят злодеев и отправляют их в тюрьму. Лейстрейд тоже вовремя помогает. Всегда приятно, что зло наказуемо. Увлекательно наблюдать, как Холмс распутывает все эти тайны и прорезает тьму острым лучом своего удивительного ума. Это мой любимый литературный герой, настоящий ангел спасения!

This show lifts our spirits.

That taxi driver's accent always makes me giggle! ☺

It's so odd to see a Scotsman playing the bad guy. I had a Scottish friend who used to say, "A Scotsman's meanness is as rare as an Englishman's generosity. "

'can't believe i found a movies of sherlock holmes,,,,i've been reading doyle's novel about SH, and now i'm watching it!!!! always love it. thanks for uploading!!!

The clever investigation and the implications of inscription revealed with treaures and congrats!

Ok so it's now 12:46 am and I really crave cold lobster and tomatoes ....damn you internet!

Deliously sinister! A masterpiece of the genre

Who would send a cab away from a place when welcome was uncertain?

variant on the original sherlock holmes story "the musgrave ritual," with an even older english king!

How odd to see the actor who usually plays Lestrade do Lord Greystone...

That Thomas Greystone sure looked a LOT like Inspector Lestrade! :-) Nice to hear Archie "Little John" Duncan use is Glasgow accent instead of (badly) trying to hide it. Now watch "The Haunted Gainsborough".

EEk, she let her taxi leave her at the castle at night?? Enjoyed this post so much. Thank you.

Always liked this shows pacing and that it was not a word for word transcript from the written cannon.

You are quite right.The older Detective movies are much better than now

23:43, "if you're in and can't get out, strike the lion upon the snout"

this one got a nice riddle

Blimey... I quite fancy this show.

Thx for the video. Great job.

I really like H. Marion Crawford as Dr. Watson.

Until 9:25 I wondered where Lestrade could have been.

"Well done, Holmes; well done ..."

Very enjoyable, yet again!

Thanks for sharing I love them all

Amazing gas lamp in the vault, it's been burning for six centuries...beeswax must last a long time.

Very good. Thanks to PizzaFlix! Good to see Archie Duncan in true style! KAN

🥰 this Sherlock is tops of them all

What I don't like about this episode is that the owners of the treasure didn't get what was theirs, and were put in prison; if anything, the fiancee should have told them where it was. The treasure shouldn't have gone back to the crown.

Thank you; another good story.

One lady rescued rescued a lobster and sent it half way across Canada to the Atlantic coast for release and here we have carnists salivating...

cold lobsters and tomatoes!!!! what a combination lol

He is alot more colorful than Basil, indeed!

Based on "The Musgrave Ritual" and "The Adventure Of The Blanched Soldier", perhaps?

Stuff the letter from the queen, I'd take the gold piece any day.

Nobody really knows what happened to Richard II. It is assumed that he died in prison of illness or starvation but no one is really sure.

Thank you

Considering they didn't have a lot of money they do a great job, kinda quirky portrayal but it's funny.

I think Sheldon Reynolds had a small, tight troupe of actors. Many play different roles in this series.

If this were true, Victoria would have absolutely no right to Richard's treasury. Just because she was queen, she is not a direct descendant of Richard and Richard would have had to claim his property.

Wowww well done 🥰👍

There might be some inbreeding among Inspector Lestrade's Scottish relatives. They all look pretty similar in all the episodes anyway.

Wait! Wait! Wait! 25:44 - What about the fiance??

That's a nice evening gown she's traveling in, though not very practical. And a huge plot hole at the end, those Scots were no' verra bricht.

Lobster and tomato for breakfast - now there's a thought

Замечательная серия: преступники -- в тюрьме, жених и невеста снова вместе, и Холмс и Ватсон наконец-то могут поесть свою вкусную еду! Да еще благодарность королевы в придачу!

Did you notice that the old man was Insp. Lestrade in disguise ??

Hands up the people who would have given the treasure to her majesty or kept it... Myself I would have given her majesty a tooth pick and kept it all. Excellent series I like the way they use the same actors, but they just blend in

Wonderful!

Ok so who the hell were the two poor souls whose skeletons were locked in there? They never even blinked at them! Old Richard Greystone must have been some piece of work!

This reminds me of a 'treasure hunt' episode of the series with jeremy brett. This one was slightly better.

1:01 -1:14 Very true Holmes. I doubt I could ever stay mad at Holmes, lol.

Call me prudishly helpless but why are two men that live alone and never have guests just happen to be wearing their very best dress on a day they get an unwelcomed visitor? I mean usually I'm sitting around in my best clothes 😂🤣🤣 not .and all ready to go to the ball in a moment's notice 😂 jk I love this series,but sometimes I just can't help myself 🤣 Oh and no one bothered to point out the two guys that made it in ,but never got out...

Okay, now. This is the third time in this series where I have seen jabs at the Scots being cheap! It's rather obvious. I mean the jab, not that Scots are cheap. I guess it would sound better to say that they are frugal.

A frugal Scottie! Stereotype perpetuation! I ow-raged! And amused.

Archie Duncan is at his best in this role.

It’s the same actor who plays the inspector

@22:39: The counter offer would not have been to give Holmes all the treasure, but a threat to kill Watson or the woman. Holmes was stupid.

Excellent......

ye gads, tempting nosh only inches from the maw and a miffed Watson, then a rap at door. At least Watson got a bite.

Awesome stuff

11:09 A true Scotsman.

Lobster and Tomato, highly recommend it.

Excellent

Come now subscriber.. Sir Thomas Greystone is Really Inspector Lestrade.

Is that the inspector lestrad as the Scottish gent?

Nice accent while reading the riddle, Holmes.

Poor Scots . Hasn’t the Queen got enough jewels ?

Yes, he can blame you Holmes! Shooting a pistol inside an apartment is just rude and wrong!!

Jail for the Greystones is overkill.

Just a thanks letter from queen after finding so wealth. What a greedy queen

I enjoyed this, too much levity in some of the other episodes.

The Scottish man is not a good villain instead of exchanging the treasure for a way out or threatening to kill Sherlock he should have threatened to kill Watson or the woman Sherlock would have told them the way out then and after they got out killed all three then leave with the treasure

Released fugitive wasn't shown। Why

The crooked fake mustache on the Dr. is driving me CRAZY!!! Oh wait_ too late; already there. sigh lol🥴

17:12 "Welcome to the R-D-D-D-OCK!" :D

Insp lestrade as buttler

wasn't Tarzan a "Greystone"?,...this series has my favorite Watson, and my favorite Inspector characters., ...I love Nigel Bruce, but he really is too "bumbling" to be believable as Sherlock Holmes assistant., and he over does the "naive" thang too.,...this "Holmes" is great, but Basil will always be "Holmes" in my mind., he's got the "look" for it too., not to depreciate Ron Howard at all he's great.,...after Andy Griffith, and Happy Days he must have been influenced by a vacation to England or something to make him stay in England making this "Retro" series for BBC., the B&W instead of color made it very authentic looking too., now that he's in Hollywood again, I wonder when he'll make another English themed movie soon instead of Children's movies like "The Grinch That Stole Christmas"., I liked him better as an actor., the make-up people over there are awesome!

Wow, that treasure was hidden for 600 years! What became of it then? Did it all go to the Queen? Didn't that other Richard get a share? Where is it today? In a museum? I wonder how that candle Holmes lit when he entered managed to stay fresh enough to light. What became of the young man who they put in the tower? Was he rescued?

I have literally spent the last hour and half pulling the splinters out of my eyeballs after the woodeness of Miss Channings acting !
