I didn't know what to expect when I rented this DVD. It was fascinating! We are watching how the famous Sherlock Holmes came to be written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from the beginning. It is not as you imagined.....at least not in this movie! In the story you will meet the real Mr. Holmes, who was in turn, Dr. Joseph Bell, a surgical professor at the University of Edinburgh Medical School and Doyle, a medical student and the real life model for Dr. Watson. Ian Richardson is just perfect in the role of "Holmes" and Doyle(Charles Edwards) is of course superb as the real Dr. Watson. Doyle was a clerk for Dr. Bell who was considered very eccentric, and a "wizard" at detecting. It kept me guessing who the murderer was all along and I was very much surprised at the end! Excellent twist.....top notch story.Read full review
Enjoyed this year's ago. So happy to find it again. Enjoyed it just as much this time. Insight into Conan Doyle's basis for Sherlock Holmes.

I have always enjoy Sherlock Holmes and to watch a movie about Doyle and Bell was very interesting. You can see where Doyle got his idea for Sherlock Holmes What it doesn't tell you is why Doyle did away with Holmes
If you like Sherlock Holmes you'll love this movie. It is pre-Holmes, when he was much younger practicing medicine. Set in the country side it is typical Holmes mystery and always keeps you guessing the whole way through.
Very good tv show on a.c. doyle . I saw it on tv and wanted to own it. The price was much better than anywhere else.
