No mention than of Southsea where Conan Doyle wrote "A Study In Scarlet" in the house of his Doctors Practice! How can that be a factual history of 100 years of Sherlock Holmes?

This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the
many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage,
screen, radio and TV adaptations.
Thank you!
Wow that's amazing good work!!
Is that 106 actors holy mackrel
Maurice Costello never played Sherlock Holmes.
Basil Rathbone was the best of the best
And if this Gathering actually happened in Switzerland in 1987 with the 70 members I would have been the 71st member.
Because that's how dedicated I am to the character and the legend Sherlock Holmes.
And as I said
No 1. Basil Rathbone
and
No. 2. Ronald Howard
And thank you to whomever that shared this upload because I I'm enjoying this immensely
Jeremy Brett is incomparable as Holmes no one touches him!!
Since this was made we also have had the Robert Downey Jnr Holmes and Jude Law Watson, and the hilarious lost case book of Holmes on radio and the spinoff of Holmes Sister Enola Holmes.
No mention than of Southsea where Conan Doyle wrote "A Study In Scarlet" in the house of his Doctors Practice! How can that be a factual history of 100 years of Sherlock Holmes?

I am a hardcore Sherlock Holmes and dr. Watson fan since I've been a child and I just wanted to tell you thanks I really enjoy this
The books don't make sense except if you have ESP. The clues break all the rules of detective novels. This isn't meant to be a criticism.
