No no- Peter Cushing was excellent as was Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch

Cushing was too frail.
Brett lacked character.
Cumberbatch was a child.

There's also Batman: Under the Red Hood, but I'm not sure what rating it has.
We have that one and it's great!
It's very good.
And so were Rathbone & Brett.
The Brett series airs over here on Saturdays on our local PBS station, so at the moment he is my favourite.
Brett had a coldness that I thought would have been most like Holmes, his was a heavy Holmes, a detached thinker given to dark moods and a fascination for the evil that men do, he got as close as you could possibly get to the real Holmes imo. A fantastic portrayal by the actor.

Well said. I just realized that he was Freddy in the film version of My Fair Lady...his Holmes was much better.

Yep!
Love that one.
I haven't watched F.T in ages. Although I've watched it so many flipping times I can just play it out in my head and it still makes me laugh.
