Sherlock Holmes (2000)First Aired in 2000 In 1887, Arthur Conan Doyle published his novel "A Study in Scarlet" in the Christmas edition of the Beaton's magazine. It featured the meeting of amatuer but highly gifted private detective Sherlock Holmes and wounded former medic Dr. John H. Watson, and the two took up lodgings together at 221B Baker Street. It was based on Doyle's own expiriences with a teacher at a medical university in Edinburgh, Professor Joseph Bell. From then 'til 1927, four novels and fifty-six short stories featuring the eccentric but brilliant "consulting detective" and his competent but seldom respected accomplice have been published, usually in the Strand magazine, and gone through various incarnations on the stage, radio, and screen. Because the stories are translated into countless languages, global adaptions of the stories appear, as well as world-wide pastiches. The most famous performers as Holmes in the media include Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett, William Gilette, Ellie Norwood, Michael Caine, Roger Moore, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, John Barrymore, Charleton Heston, Reginald Owen, Ronald Howard (son of Leslie), Ian Richardson (who is currently playing Bell on a series of PBS Mystery films), Anthony Hopkins, Peter O'Toole, John Cleese, and Arthur Wotner.
