To people on here who don't know, this was made for the 1992 ITV Telethon charity weekend. The numbers on screen were the phone numbers viewers needed to use to ring in and donate.
Just discovered this today. Any chance to see JB as Sherlock, I take. I could watch all day. Have watched every one of the Granada series many many times. A great escape into another world, with a great actor at the center and ACDs wonderful storytelling.
I luv seeing this; yes, how did I miss this? Sound is low so had to hold my laptop on my...lap😁 Loved seeing Sherlock's Godmother that's a new Holmes character to me...this is like *we* have found a treasure w/this Jeremy Brett & Edward Hardwicke footage...TY *OhRememberThis*
I know, right? Negative commenters are overlooking the fact that this is new Holmes material; the numbers on the screen shouldn't deter from that in the slightest. Any real fans should just appreciate this, and quit bitching! It's nice to see someone who sees the bigger picture!
Yes, the story, from what I've seen here, isn't worth much. However, seeing Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke together in the First new material (to me anyway) in years was an amazing feeling
Watson broke the fourth wall at the end there. It created a paradox in my reality where everything there was supposed to be real. Now my world is crumbling. I know not why I live anymore.
i love sherlocks character even if his a lilttle eccentric nevertheless he is not easily daunted by the people who consult him, even they be little his capacity sometimes
This is from a charity telethon, that's why the numbers are there, the case is handled by 4 great fictional detectives, Holmes, Van Der Valk, Taggart and Wexford..thats why there is no denouement here...
Tyre is a word used to describe the rim of a wheel since at least medieval times... you are thinking of a pneumatic tyre. Consulting the original story will confirm that the use of tyre iron is correct
It’s not from the show at all. It’s from a charity appeal drive on ITV in the 90s where they did a four part mystery using four different ITV detectives :)
John King *sigh; people will no longer experience the thrill of the mechanics of the tape head assembly catching the magnetic strip and the whirring of the mechanisms and it started.. .. ..and occasionally worked :D
+Kathie gillaspie No, it was meant to be divided up the way it was, with Part 1 based around Sherlock Holmes only. This was the 1992 ITV Telethon Charity appeal involving four of ITV's biggest detective shows - Sherlock Holmes, Taggart, Van Der Valk and Inspector Wexford.
These were the donation numbers viewers could call in and donate to the telethon. Back then there was no one UK wide number, but separate numbers needed for viewers in England/Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

+vanillaorchid They did three telethons, 1988, 1990 and 1992, however instead of running for one night as Children in Need and Comic Relief do on the BBC, these telethons were dragged out for 27 hours each time. Plus the ITV network never really was a codified network unlike the BBC, so regions were unwilling to help out, leaving it most to Thames, LWT, Granada and Yorkshire to make the material with the main show based in London.
John King *remember telethons in NZ.. .. ..real successful in the day; till people got "charity fatigued" by television; radio; door-knockers asking for their money.
Would they really call the weapon a tire iron??? I don't think tires existed back then.It would be used to tighten/loosen bolts on the wheels of carriages.

Late to the show, I know. Was this a rehearsal take or something? With the exception of Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke, the acting is very bad. It's rote and without passion. The constable, without even examining the item, robotically states, "a fire iron. I think that is blood," almost as if he were stating the time of day. No, this can't be a final take and is uncharacteristically bad for a Granada production.
Nice . But numbers don't bother me. It would be better if subtitled though as volumes bad. I have plenty of VCR tapes better than this. Not gonna finish this one.

My goodness! Poor Jeremy and Edward...surrounded by such amateurs and such poor production. The producers of this should be ashamed to have put their names in the credits. This is nothing compared to the quality of the original Granada series. Telethon or no, Brett should have walked off the set in disgust on the first day of principal photography.
