"The Speckled Band"

From the Series: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, David Burke as Dr Watson (13 episodes)
First published in "The Strand Magazine" Feb 1892 (SPEC)

Synopsis:
A young woman seeks Holmes assistance when the events preceding her sisters death begin to happen again.

Review:
Full of classic Holmes deductions, His magnifying glass and tweed Deerstalker cap make their first appearance. Well scripted story but unfortunately some poor acting from supporting cast.


She raised her veil


He hurled the blacksmith over a parapet


Her face blanched with terror


Which of you is Holmes


We got off, paid our fare


Well, look at this


Goodbye, and be brave


Holmes lashed furiously


He made neither sound nor motion
