Sherlock Holmes in Past Times

[JollyBob]

I hope this is the right forum for Holmesiana, if not, Malamute please feel free to shove this wherever takes yer fancy... 

Anyway. High street bothering reproduction tat emporium Past Times has a boxed set of the seldom seen 1954 Holmes TV series starring Ronald "son of Leslie" Howard and Howard Marion-Crawford. See here for more details:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046642/

Currently selling 25 half-hour episodes (new stories) for £10. If you do go looking for one, be aware that although the box art bears obvious cartoon versions of Rathbone and Bruce, they aren't actually in it...

Ooooh! Thanks JB. Its not cultured enough in this part of Shropshire for a Past Times but they are available online. I think I shall indulge.

Zavvi (and others but Zavvi is marginally the cheapest) have the complete set of 39 episodes for under £15.00

Occasionally gothic, but I'd don't recall any qualifying as horror. 

I've found a similar set here for about $15US or less; I think it was at a discount department store, perhaps Shopko. I have to cringe to hear the 'American' accents, but it's only deserved, given what you hear passing for Brit in old US movies. 

Now, if someone decides to have Sherlock tracking down the 'real' Count Vlad instead some poor maligned eccentric (The Last Vampyre), I'd belly up!

I'm bad enough to want to see him running with Van Helsing and Sigmund Freud (again), but I'm a terrible mashup lover. New League of... ?
