The Case of the Belligerent Ghost:
Episode 5.
The case starts when Watson says that he was attacked by the ghost of a day watchman at a museum.
Quite interesting the ultimate explanation about this ghost and funny on the revelation on who actually pulled Watson’s nose!
The Case of the Shy Ballerina:
Episode 6.
Funny what part Watson’s hat played in this episode.
The diplomat’s wife looked familiar and when I looked at the credits which states that she was played by Natalie Schafer I then realised where I knew her from as she was Mrs Howell in Gilligan’s Island.
The aforementioned ballerina seems somewhat underused especially since she appeared late in this episode but nevertheless it was still an enjoyable episode.
The Case of the French Interpreter:
Episode 14.
Enjoyable mystery about the said interpreter with the intriguing flashbacks leading to the denouement.
The Case of the Careless Suffragette:
Episode 20.
Holmes finds himself in the midst of the suffragette movement when a bomb planted by a suffragette unintentionally killed a parliament official.
However Holmes soon discovered that it was intentional murder but not on the part of the suffragette who planted the bomb.
The real murderer turns out to be a woman. Hey it makes sense it was within the spirit the episode was conveying.
After all this episode was about equal rights for women and this shows that a woman is just as capable as murder as that of a man.
The Case of the Perfect Husband:
Episode 27.
The case title character is played by Michael Gough. Gough is the villain in this episode and certainly brought about the same kind of dichotomy in facing Sherlock Holmes as his adversary just like he did when as the Celestial Toymaker faced off against the First Doctor a little over a decade later in the Doctor Who story that bore Gough’s character’s name.
Gough was very good as the villain in this Sherlock Holmes episode and horrifying where he hidden the remains of his seven victims in his house.
Just before seeing The Case of the Perfect Husband, saw The Avengers 3.3 Man With Two Shadows and that coincidentally had someone who was about to become a deceptive husband.
The Case of the Eiffel Tower:
Episode 30.
Very enjoyable episode in which the case takes place concerning the Eiffel Tower in Paris and an extraordinary coin.
Feels like this Sherlock Holmes version of Doctor Who: City of Death as that Doctor Who story took place in Paris and also concerning an iconic element of that city in that case the Mona Lisa.
Funny the resolution of this episode in which the main characters deliberately get themselves arrested by the Paris police and the difficulty of Lestrade having to explain this arrest in his report.
The Case of the Exhumed Client:
Episode 31.
Holmes goes to investigate the death of a rich man.
Impressive how Holmes flushed out the murderer and after he almost succumbed to the revealed method of murder himself.
The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough:
Episode 35.
At the end of the previous episode The Case of the Royal Murder, Holmes and Watson says how much they missed Lestrade.
However this is the second case in a row in which Lestrade is a no show but Archie Duncan still appears as a different character.
Good episode taking place at a Scottish castle and involving a ghost who was really an actress.
Very good trick that Holmes employed to exposed the ghost as a fake and how he saved the Duncan character’s bacon here at the end.
The Case of the Neurotic Detective:
Episode 36.
After either being absent or playing another character in the previous two episodes Archie Duncan is back as Lestrade.
The neurotic detective refers of course to Holmes himself as it seems that he has gone bad.
Very funny that Watson was incapable of stealth as Holmes caught him following him.
Watson cannot fool Holmes with his disguise as the latter easily saw the former’s disguise as a cabbie and that was also very funny.
Also funny how Holmes drove away Watson’s dinner guest.
Superb episode including the rationale of what Holmes had really been doing in this episode.
