Ross are you aware of Big Finish co in England? They're independent of the BBC but do all kinds of tv shows (often with original actors)= on C D 's like they were done for radio. Holmes is part. of the group along with Dr Who,Torchwood, and many many more.

And I love that castle look wwith Holmes blending in.
Fish out of water. Lamont Cranston gets sent back in time to Holmes' England. No wealth, contacts, id. Just the clothes on his back and not even The Shadow clothes. How would he survive and work with Sherlock Holmes?
@det_ Tobor: Actually, the Shadow had a prototype in 19th century American literature known only as...The Man In Black.
I'd like to see a Sherlock Holmes crossover movie. Not too particular with who. Maybe some of the old pulp heroes of the day. Or have him hunt down Fu Manchu or the Invisible Man. So many possibilities.

To me, Doolittle looks about as true to the original tale as Downey's Sherlock Holmes -- which is to say, in little more than name only. The musical with Rex Harrison took some liberties, but to go that far off base... well, just look at Catwoman. I've taken a hard pass on that version of Sherlock, and I probably will on this Doolittle as well.
And, to agree with your implication, Jeremy Brett is basically the definitive Sherlock Holmes for me.
@Bob: For the Millenial Generation, to be sure. But, for Baby Boomers like me? Basil Rathbone is the best cinematic version of all time. Indubitably!
Personally, I like the Rex Harrison version of "Dr. Doolittle." No voice-dubbing for the animals (with the exception of Miss Polynesia, of course). Faithful attention to detail with regard to period clothing. Great singing with Anthony Newley and--much to my delight--a dance routine by a surprisingly nimble-footed Sir Richard Attenborough!
Best of all, however? The special effects were done by the same outfit that later handled WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY starring Gene Wilder. :-)
I think you mean "...went on to do the original POTA starring Charlton Heston."
I was going to suggest an Iron Man/Dr. Strange/Sherlock Holmes team-up but I'd much rather see Sherlock Holmes team up with Jonah Hex.
Or Sherlock Holmes meets the Lone Ranger...or even the Lone Ranger vs. Jonah Hex!
@Anon@10:07: I'm a baby boomer, myself (albeit a late one -- 11 May 1967) and I grew up watching the Rathbone films. I still favor Brett.
1967? Sorry -- 1961. (I don't know how that typo happened.)
@Bob: I think it's a result of what some people call the Pinocchio Syndrome.
;-)
Tobor - No, I hadn't heard of that, sounds cool and i do like radio dramas.
@Anon 9:42 thanks for that bit of info. I'm thinking Shadow out of place and with nothing but himself working with Holmes.
Does anybody else here remember the 1980s issue of 'Detective Comics'in which DC celebrated its 50th anniversary with a story that teamed-up a whole lot of its protagonists over the years... and actually had a scene where Batman met Holmes?
@Bob and Anonymous1007 split the difference, guys! Let's just say that, if playing Sherlock Holmes in audiovisual media were an Olympic event, Brett and Rathbone would tie for the gold medal.
I do Simreeve. He told Batman clean leaving (guess he stopped with needle) and he stopped smoking the pipe but still kept it because it looked good.
Personally I'd like to see Captain Britain thrown back in time and working with All Star Squadron.
Or, in this case, partially thrown back to the future after his meeting with Holmes. A meeting with the A.S.S. being a minor detour.
Not to mention, a pain in the acronym.
