The Library At 221 B Baker Street

Ronald Howard, The Original Series


I won't rate each one individually because to me they are all good with the exception of a very few, like 1 or 2
The Red Headed League
Follows the original very close, just happens to be one I disliked
Mother Hubbard
Just goes to show you can trust no one
Harry Crocker
Always fun
Blind Man's Bluff
The plot thickened towards the end, I enjoyed it
Winthrop Legend
Haunted mansion how can you not love that
Shy Ballerina
A twist I should have seen coming
The Case Of The Texas Cowgirl
I hated this one from beginning to end, I hated it.
Pennsylvania Gun
Plenty of nice French scenery and the story was again fun
Case Of Lady Beryl
Good one unto itself. Didn't see the ending the way I thought it would play out
Cunningham Heritage
If only these had followed the stories they would have been so much better. There is no saying they aren't fun because they are, just not the originals. Ronald Howard could have been an excellent Holmes
The Shoeless Engineer
Fun. More suspense than most
Split Ticket
This one was just fun
The Belligerent Ghost
I was convinced till the end it was someone else who tweeked his nose
The French Interpreter
A decent enough "interpretation" of The Greek Interpreter
Night Train Riddle
Fun, but I have always had problems with the circus
Violent Suitor
A little lacklustre compared with some of the other stories
Baker Street Nursemaids
I liked this one...............plot and funny
Impromptu Performance
For someone who has a taste for theatre this was fun
Baker Street Bachelors
Holmes in prison, now that was fun
Royal Murder
I would have loved this one if only I could have figured out what countries were involved
Haunted Gainsborough
Ghosts and legends, how can that not be fun
Neurotic Detective
Can't get behind this one, Watson would never distrust Holmes that much, nor would Lestrade
The Unlucky Gambler
That one had me, never saw the ending
The Singing Violin
Beautiful playing in the beginning and a decent plot
Greystone Inscription
Decent enough rendition of The Musgrave Ritual
The Laughing Mummy
I recall a book I read that had an Egyptian theme but I didn't care much for it but this is fun
The Thistle Killer
Very light take on The Ripper
The Jolly Hangman
Justice served well
Impostor Mystery
Oh, if only this one had been in color
Eiffel Tower
What happened in the end? A cliffhanger
Exhumed Client
Good take on The Devils Foot
The Diamond Tooth
Sailors are always fun
Tyrants Daughter
This is a good plot
Vanished Detective
Never saw such a tidy curio shop
Careless Suffragette
Maybe a little too much detail
Reluctant Carpenter
Had me till the end
Deadly Prophecy
Don't think Holmes would get involved in something like that
Christmas Pudding
A great one to add to your Christmas collection
Perfect Husband
Michael Gough is delicious as a bad guy
