Elementary, dear listener…

For this episode, Tom and Morgan pick three actors who have played Sherlock Holmes, before agreeing on an overall ranking of the very best on-screen Sherlocks of all time.

We also discuss a few honourable mentions, the difference between a ‘bumbling’ or ‘capable’ John Watson and the politics of the deerstalker hat.

The main six actors we focus on are:

• Basil Rathbone
• Peter Cushing
• Robert Downey Jr
• Robert Stephens
• Benedict Cumberbatch
• Jeremy Brett
