Film Description

Contains the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes adventures: The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Master Blackmailer, The Last Vampyre and The Eligible Bachelor. Edward Hardwicke plays his companion, Dr Watson.

In 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1988) baronet Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead with an expression of utter terror on his face and the locals ascribe his demise to the ancient family curse - a hell-hound, said to roam the moors. With Watson's help, Holmes sets out to discover whether there is any substance to the legend - before Sir Henry Baskerville, newly arrived from America to claim his inheritance, also falls prey to the curse.

In 'The Sign of Four' (1987) Holmes and Watson are intrigued by the case of Mary Morstan (Jenny Seagrove), whose father disappeared ten years previously. Every year since, Mary has received a pearl from a mystery benefactor, and she now requires the Baker Street detective to act as her escort in a meeting with the unknown patron. Matters are complicated when a murder takes place and Holmes engages the assistance of the Baker Street irregulars in tracking down the killer.

In 'The Master Blackmailer' (1992) all London fears blackmailer Charles Augustus Milverton (Robert Hardy). This unpleasant fellow has spent years preying on the weaknesses of others and has made his fortune in the process; but now, with the able assistance of Doctor Watson, Holmes is set to put an end to his unethical practices once and for all.

In 'The Last Vampyre' (1993), one hundred years after Lamberley aristocrat Lord St Clair was burned alive in his mansion by locals who blamed him for the bloody murder of a local girl, his descendant, John Stockton (Roy Marsden), dines with new village resident Bob Ferguson (Keith Barron). When Ferguson's baby son dies suddenly afterwards, the old rumours begin to circulate again. Holmes and Watson become involved when they hear the story from Lamberley's parish vicar (Maurice Denham), who neglects to inform them that the St Clairs are believed to be vampires!

In 'The Eligible Bachelor' (1993) Holmes is not amused when Lord Robert St Simon (Simon Williams) requests him to track down his fiancée, an American heiress who disappeared on the very morning of their wedding. Confiding to Watson that he almost wishes he could meet an adversary to match his former nemesis, Moriarty, Holmes is nonetheless intrigued when he discovers that Lord Robert is not all that he seems.
