Performing Sherlock: A Study in Studio and Location Realism Given his status as one of literature’s most popular creations, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes – usually accompanied by his faithful chronicler, Doctor Watson - has been less ubiquitous on British television screens than might be imagined. Having debuted in 1951, played by Andrew Osborn in The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone (BBC), the Baker Street sleuth returned a few months later in the guise of Alan Wheatley for a series of six live plays. Viewers then had to wait until 1965 for a home-grown run of episodes,1 this time featuring Douglas Wilmer; when this production returned in 1968, it was Peter Cushing who donned the deerstalker. In 1984 Granada’s series saw Jeremy Brett injecting a seven per cent solution in the long-running and popular production, but following Brett’s death in 1995 there were few attempts to revive Holmes in the UK, and audiences had to wait until 2010 for the character’s enormously successful 21st century reimagining in the form of Sherlock (BBC, 2010- ), starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

  • Review of Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes
    Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes, DVD Box set, 4 discs, London: BBC/BFI, 2015. BFIV2040; £39.99 Reviewed by John Keefe (London Metropolitan University, UK) The Literary London Journal, Volume 12 Number 1–2 (Spring/Autumn 2015) The recent BBC TV Timeshift documentary How To Be Sherlock Holmes—The Many Faces of a Master Detective (2015) traced the history of these faces from Sidney Paget’s original illustrations and William Gillette’s stage adaptation (1899), the first screen version (1900), through the various cinema and television Holmes (including Eille Norwood 1921, Basil Rathbone 1939, Peter Cushing 1959, Jeremy Brett 1985) to the most recent (Robert Downey Jnr 2009, Benedict Cumberbatch 2010). Across these adaptations and characterisations, we see a figure who remains rooted in his Victorian origins, is regarded as both a genesis and a template of what has become the fictional detective, and is a reflection of the social-cultural preoccupations that inform each adaptation. In this last, we see a theme true of all such adaptations and translations, with each mirroring the period of making as well as that of the setting. Thus this release of the surviving thirteen episodes of the Douglas Wilmer-Nigel Stock series from the mid-1960s reverts to the Victorian settings of the original (in contrast to the modernising of Holmes in the Universal Studios series or Sherlock of 2010) but adds a knowing humour taken further by Billy Wilder’s film of 1970. Similarly, the imagery of Holmes familiar to us from the Paget illustrations and now our received idea of Holmes with his pipes, deerstalker hat and caped coat are here but at the same time are played with as mannerisms that seem ‘out-of-joint’ against a background of contemporary pop music, fashions and social satire.

He was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and introduced in 1887, with the publication of a story called A Study in Scarlet. The Victorian public loved the world’s only consulting detective and the audience only grew bigger during the following decades and to this day. Sherlock Holmes is one of the most adapted literary characters, with over 200 screen adaptations. The aim of this thesis is to contrast the most recent Sherlock Holmes TV adaptation – BBC’s Sherlock with the original canon, especially with regards to the portrayal of the characters, the setting and the plot.
