If you're pondering what to get your significant other for a holiday gift, look no further than "Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Granada Television Series", which has been released in a boxed set by MPI Home Entertainment. For many, series star Jeremy Brett was- and remains- the definitive interpretation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective. There have been countless actors who have provided wide-ranging performances as Holmes and most of them are commendable in their own way. However, Brett's debut as Holmes in this classic British TV series met with instant international acclaim even among the notoriously fussy Holmes scholars who never seem to be pleased with screen presentation of their literary hero.
The MPI set contains:
- Every episode of the series (41 episodes on 12 DVDs)
- Includes the five feature film-length adventures
- Profusely illustrated collector's guide booklet with extensive essays by film historian Richard Valley
- Interview with director John Madden and screenwriter Jeremy Paul
- Interview with series co-star Edward Hardwicke
- "Daytime Live" show with guest stars Brett and Hardwicke
- Sherlock Holmes Museum short
- Vintage Sherlock Holmes series promo
In all, a superb and irresistible release that will allow you many hours of matching wits with the world's greatest sleuth. What do you get for that special person for the holidays? The answer should be elementary.
