I wish to buy the complete collection but am not sure which one to buy. Besides the difference in quality as ppl have pointed out, I also notice the cast to be different. The 2008 version casts Jeremy Brett as holmes, does it have Edward Hardwick/David Burke as Watson? Please comment and I'll place my order. Thank you - Ravi

What can i say about this fabulous box set. This is a must have for any fan of Sherlock Holmes. This is a masterpeice TV Series. Superbly acted by all, David Burke and Edward Hardwicke are wonderful. (I wanna hug them both!!) Jeremy Brett is simply just outstanding. He IS Sherlock Holmes. he will take you into the very mind of the character. His acting is a masterclass performance. He really should have won a BAFTA for his role. It is a bittersweet thing to watch though to see the decline in his health on screen, but dont let that put you off, he is simply spellbinding. A well presented DVD boxset that is a fitting tribute to one of Britain's much loved actors and sadly missed today. Gone, but NEVER forgotten. If you want to buy a new DVD, buy this boxset. ...

I think Jeremy Brett IS holmes. This is brilliant. Rupert convinced me. Full stop. If you like holmes give it a go. I loved it...

This set of 3 DVD's is well worth getting. Peter Cushing had already produced one memorable performance in Hammers classic adaptation of Hound of the Baskervilles 10 years earlier and here at the age of 55 he produces another set of superb performances. It becomes fairly obvious watching these that the BBC were on a tight budget, but this doesn't detract from the quality of the performances. With the benefit of the relatively modern technology of the DVD and better quality TV's (and I'm not talking Hi-Def here) one or two other things become rather obvious - like the fact that Peter Cushing is wearing a wig! I watched The Hound of the Baskervilles this afternoon. This is a full length (98 mins) movie. Lookout for the actor who played the ... Read More:

6.The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes [1970] starring: Robert Stephens, Christopher Lee, Colin Blakely, Geneviève Page, Tamara Toumanova directed by: Billy Wilder June 07, 2004

A marvellously crafted and witty take on the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes for all fans of his. It is a slanted, almost subversive reading of him, giving us a real man, with real vices and defects, and a real sense of humour, and gives us a far from stodgy Dr. Watson, much more a real friend of his than in other versions. This is all intended to give us something new, something quite tantalising, and something quite rewarding. It utterly succeeds in this, and throws in an adventure dripping in that dark Victorian quality all Holmes adventures have. It is clearly made by a huge fan of his, and Wilder revels at the chance of giving Sherlock's mysterious brother a prominent role. Stephens as Holmes is sensational. The screenplay is sparklingly good, and the story itself is ... Read More:

Well I won't go into details about the story, other reviewers have already done this very nicely, I merely just want to endorse the praising reviewers by adding that I totally agree with their opinion about this film in every way - it is really a marvellous adventure, telling the story of Holmes' youth, how he meets Watson for the first time, why he decides later on, to live with the absence of a women in his life and how he comes across his worst enemy Professor Moriarty. Although the story is not an original of Conan Doyle, it is absolutely a wholehearted one, done with a lot of respect for the original stories, that only a true fan could produce. All actors are great here and in particular the leading roles - this is an adventure about the mysterious, the fantastic, ... Read More:

Previous reviews have perhaps given a better critical view of this film, but if you are a fan of Wilder and Feldmann you will enjoy this. Leo Mckern makes a fine villain who is both believable and insane, both important to the credibility. Too many of the jokes are simple such as chocolate on the face, but some are sublime such as the wonderful ballroom scene (I will not spoil the joke). For an English audience there is the added 'reassurance' of Roy Kinnear and other 'usual suspects'. The singing, dancing and fencing are unexpectedly good and the whole film becomes an enjoyable romp with some quite dramatic moments.

These films in this boxset has been Pan Scanned !! Witch means that they cut off one third of the frame (and in CinemaScope features, Half the frame)... so some times you wil see two noses in each side of the frame, speaking to one another !! I will never be able to understand this Concept...
