Скачать или смотреть Sherlock Holmes (1968) TV Series: The Sign Of Four (Peter Cushing, Nigel Stock)

Peter Cushing played Sherlock Holmes in the 1968 BBC TV series, having originally played the role in the Hammer Film version of 'The Hound Of The Baskervilles'. Nigel Stock played Doctor Watson and worked well with Cushing. There were 16 episodes made but, sadly, only 6 survive. This series was shot in colour although the BBC did not officially start broadcasting in colour until 15 November 1969. These episodes show a great actor at the height of his powers bringing the character of Sherlock Holmes to life. These stories were popular when broadcast and there were plans for another series but, sadly, it never happened.

The Sign Of Four is an enjoyable adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes novel of the same name. There is some nice character interplay between Holmes and Watson as the good Doctor is obviously smitten by Mary Morsten. There is some good location filming with Toby the dog and the final chase on the River Thames.

Broadcast 16 December 1968.
