  • Summary

  • Colin Salmon and Stephen Fry star in this brand new adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes adventure, The Hound of the Baskervilles, reinterpreted as a dark folk horror by best-selling authors George Mann and Cavan Scott.

    An ancient curse has awoken on Dartmoor, the members of the Baskerville family hunted by a spectral hound of Hell. With Sherlock Holmes busy in London, Doctor John Watson is sent to protect the new lord of the manor as fear and superstition run wild in the ancient countryside. Can Watson overcome his own terror to discover the truth behind the legend before the hound strikes again?

An All Hallows Eve twist on a classic.

A relatively faithful moody retelling of this classic tale. There is a slightly superfluous thread of additional mysticism, but it's not quite enough to upset a purist. Good performances and an evocative soundtrack make it the perfect accompaniment to a winter evening by candlelight.

Could have been a perfect dramatising of a classic

I have no idea why the character of old mother Gree was added, she served no purpose that I could see, in fact I grew to resent every time she appeared. Other than that it was a really enjoyable series.

good adaptation

A good atmospheric interpretation of a familiar story. Not one for purists but I enjoyed it.

interesting version

I am not opposed to adaptions of classics this one is very well done. extra characters and different twists makes it for a damn good programme. Thoroughly enjoyed it. If you want the original this ain't for you. But I really enjoyed it.

The traditional charm of Holmes and Watson

Sherlock Holmes, so very English. He has been updated to be more modern in the last few years, yet this adaption sees a return to his original roots. Mann and Scott do a fantastic job of writing this story with all the charm of the original, 'showing' us a side of England almost all but lost. The performances are exceptional, to be honest, what I've always come to expect from Stephen Fry. Along with the sound effects, all of this comes together to create a wonderful experience that completely absorbs you. I do hope they carry on making these Holmes adaptations!

wonderful.

Thank you so much. It still shares the life out of me. It was well put together - the mix of sound, accent and exclamations was very good.
