Thank you Roku for all the streaming channels. You can find these episodes on several Roku channels but Tubi seems to have the clearest copies. Ronald Howard gives us a Holmes with a sense of humor that humanizes more than many of the Holmes out there. But. Howard Marion. Crawford is one of the best characterizations of Dr. Watson. His Watson is brave and a stalwart companion who not only has a brain, Watson was a doctor after all, but one who can handle himself with his fists. The episodes run the gamut from the excellent with clever stories to the god awful. Archie Duncan is a decent Lestrade but he is made the buffoon and foil for both Holmes and Watson. It's unfortunate that this series will probably be forgotten which is a shame. Watching these as a boy made me a fan of the stories and novels. I have been a member of The Sherlock Holmes Society of London for many years now, and this series was the first step toward that membership. As a close, I must mention. Richard Lark who plays Lestrade's aide Sgt. Wilkins. There are some fun moments as the good Sgt leads Lestrade rather than just being a yes man.
