Merthyr Imp 729 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Don't forget the most famous one of all - Sherlock Holmes. Mid 60's series, Holmes played by William Hartnell.I don't think William Hartnell ever played Sherlock Holmes on TV - he would have been too busy with Dr Who in the 1960s. The mid-1960s BBC series starred Douglas Wilmer as Holmes, later replaced by Peter Cushing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes_(1965_TV_series) I think Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes on screen - the closest to the character as in the books anyway.

TBI 2,351 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes you're right Merthyr, I'm getting me Hartnells and me Cushings mixed up because they look similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Actually, it was, and is "HAWAII 5-0". Yes they are making new ones, but they are not very good - or popular. If we are talking American shows, my favorite was "The Rockford Files" - stall available on Netflix! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barclaycon 569 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Re. The best I thought was 'The Expert' I think it starred Marius Goring and was about forensics. Yes. I'd forgotten all about that. It was a good series. Marius Goring as a pathologist. I've never seen any repeats ever. Maybe it was another programme from BBC 2 that was just wiped afterwards. There's a lot of stuff like that: Spike Milligan's 'World of Beachcomber', Ronnie Barker and David Jason in 'His Lordship Entertains'. Fantastic stuff that they would be repeating all the time on Freeview if they'd kept it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
