A blurb from Acorn Media about Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars: Kids are disappearing. Policemen are being poisoned. Sherlock Holmes is under house arrest, falsely accused of crimes he didn’t commit.
A brand new story in the Sherlock Holmes legacy is entitled “Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars” puts Sherlock Holmes in peril of being arrested for murder and it is up to the Baker Street Irregulars to prove that Holmes didn’t do it. Playing Sherlock Holmes this time is Jonathan Pryce (Tomorrow Never Dies, Evita) and his trusty companion Dr Watson played by Bill Paterson (Auf Wiedersehen Pet). I am a Sherlock Holmes fan and was not disappointed. Jonathan Pryce played Holmes quite well, and in a slightly modern way to make it more interesting. The movie is based on one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous Holmes tales, “A Study In Scarlet”. A co-production between BBC1, CBBC and RDF Television and was filmed entirely in Ireland. The disc also includes cast filmographies, a photo gallery and a biography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
VIDEO

Rating: ****!
