HOLMES

This unique project employed ten writers, four producer-directors, dozens of technicians and hundreds of actors. From the first episode to the last it spanned over twenty years... In 1987 freelance writer Bert Coules approached the BBC with the proposal to dramatise Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles. It was given the go-ahead as a two-part serial with Roger Rees and Crawford Logan as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson... The BBC was the first production company in the world to dramatise every one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories with the same two actors in the leading roles.
