Holmes and Watson meet the unluckiest man in London, John Hector McFarlane, who stands accused of murdering Mr Oldacre in complicated circumstances.
It's a particularly good story, I love the complexities of the plot, and the deep characters, there's a lot more going on than you first think. A brilliant story,
Matthew Solon is excellent as McFarlane, I also enjoyed Rosalie Crutchley's performance, such a strong actress, with wonderful facial expressions, utterly formidable. Brett and Hardwicke are at their very best
Production values were always spot on, but they are particularly good here, from the Norwood site, to the half dug up Baker Street, it looks amazing.
A lot of quality here. 8/10
