    The Eligible Bachelor

    Wait, no, we were wrong - THIS is the show's worst episode ever. Another two-parter, this is the story of (we think? we're 45 minutes in and it's not really clear) a man who married a woman who disappeared right after the wedding. from a Reddit comment: Just watched Granada’s “The Eligible Bachelor” and am sitting here wondering what I just watched. It’s completely bonkers. Words fail us, and yet somehow we made an episode out of this first half.

    The Last Vampyre (Part Deux)

    It starts in flames. Turns out, those flames destroyed the set - and the manor house - entirely. This is Granada's attempt to put Holmes against a vampire - could have been great, turns out it was...well, a mess. We discuss. Part two of two.

    The Master Blackmailer: Part Deux

    The Master Blackmailer - Part One

    We're dividing this episode in two because it was a TV movie. A seminal encounter between Holmes and Charles Augustus Milverton - played to perfection by Robert Hardy.

    The Creeping Man

    Monkey glands! A more-than-midlife crisis! And the horrors of animal trafficking, which still continues today. The greatest primate actor of all time (Peter Elliott), and the immortal words: "If inconvenient, come all the same." Holmes and Watson aim to rescue more than one young woman from the fragility of the male ego.

    The Illustrious Client

    A wife-murder in the Alps - apparently, it's called uxoricide. No wonder it hasn't caught on. Followed by a porcelain collection, and a collection of...women. Come for Sherlock Holmes, stay for Laura's encounter with Gene Simmons from KISS, who also has a collection of women.

    The Boscombe Valley Mystery

    Australians - and baby James Purefoy! We love this show because it introduces us to the nascence of our favorite actors. A man is lying dead by a lakeside. A gamekeeper talks too much. Star-crossed would-be lovers - and a forgotten past. It's too good, too delightfully grotesque.
