The evil twins of Sherlock Holmes and Watson - Moriarty and Colonel Moran and their running of London's crime underworld.
Colonel Sebastian "Basher" Moran our narrator for these stories, he reminds me of a Victorian version of Gene Hunt (Life on Mars tv show), he is by far my favourite character.
Kim Newman has made an excellent job with this, the stories flow well - It is the perfect mix of humour and a fresh take on Victorian/Holmes characters.

I have been a Sherlock Holmes fan since I was a teenager I was overjoyed to get the completed DVD collection for my birthday but I have to say that "The Adventures" have always been my favorite!
Jeremy Brett - shows Holmes as a full human being with such energy, charm and brilliantly minded. it is a joy to watch!
David Burke plays his part perfectly - he is the calm, warm and always loyal Watson.
Rosalie Williams - Mrs. Hudson, a small role which she plays so well, with the knowing smiles and looks to Dr.Watson or the sometimes playful banter between her and Holmes.
The Costumes are beautiful, the locations are fantastic.
