This is a DVD set originally presented with the Daily Express newspaper, over 6 days. It is under the name The Sherlock Holmes Collection each one starring Ian Richardson.

The first two are Sherlock Holmes TV movies;

The Murder Rooms series are really good and I recommend them to anyone, the Sherlock Holmes stories are good versions of the usual tales! On the downside, the Murder Rooms where made in 16:9 but are in 4:3, also the picture quality is slightly reduced, but as I hadn't seen these, they are fantastic value!

Here is the opening to The Patients Eyes...
