In 1998 the British Broadcasting Corporation became the first production company ever to dramatise the entire canon of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories and novels. This unique undertaking began in 1989 with Holmes' and Watson's first adventure, A Study in Scarlet and ended with their most famous, The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Starring in all sixty adventures are Clive Merrison and Michael Williams.

It came as a surprise to Michael when Judi Dench appeared in a cameo role.

Thanks to Mike Kennedy for sending me this article and all of the attachments.
