Talk:Adaptations of Sherlock Holmes

What about Watson?

"Sherlock Holmes is the single most frequently filmed fictional character" - for every Holmes there is a Watson, surley? Therefore Holmes and Watson should be (more or less) tied in this respect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.166.34 (talk) 16:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC) That's an assumption, not a fact. I recall a Sherlock Holmes film (possibly a orphaned TV pilot) in which Holmes is found frozen by Watson's grand-daughter so Watson himself doesn't appear (IIRC). Then again, Watson appears in Without A Clue in which Holmes is merely a fictional character. 124.186.162.210 (talk) 11:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Jeremy Brett.jpg
Image:Jeremy Brett.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

They Might be Giants
They Might Be Giants (1971)Starring: George C. Scott (Holmes), Joanne Woodward (Watson) Director: Anthony Harvey (II)is a cult classic and should definitely be included in the film section of the Sherlock Holmes listing. I've never seen a better Holmes except for Basil Rathbone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.13.84 (talk) 17:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

New Sherlock Holmes audio series
There's a new official (by official I mean licensed) Sherlock Holmes audio series by the company Big Finish Productions. Here's a link about the series: http://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/sherlock-holmes/. Already a first series has been made with 3 original stories (I think original) which are "The Last Act", "The Death and Life" and "Holmes and the Ripper". The first two will have Roger Llewellyn as Holmes and the 3rd Nicholas Briggs as Holmes. --Victory93 (talk) 04:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved, seems uncontroversial to me. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  07:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Sherlock Holmes in other media → Adaptations of Sherlock Holmes — Just seems a more snappy title. "In other media" is quite vague, and "Adaptations of X" is used in other articles, such as Adaptations of The Wizard of Oz, Adaptations of Moby-Dick and Adaptations of The Lord of the Rings. —84.92.117.93 (talk) 16:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Film/Basil Rathbone Series
The film part of this entry is particularly weak and would merit an entry of its own (like, for instance, Tarzen depicted in film, which has has its own entry). The Basil Rathbone series is entirely missing from this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.71.254.192 (talk) 07:07, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in Japan
I don't quite understand as to how Sherlock Holmes in manga and anime can't be related to this article. Is there a nice explanation to this?--Bumblezellio (talk) 06:51, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Those aren't Sherlock Holmes in manga. The description says they just used similar names. It has nothing to do with Doyle's Holmes. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 13:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Then how are Sherlock Hound and Case Closed able to stay in the article. They do not refer to Doyle's Holmes himself either, rather relating it as a variant.--Bumblezellio (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Sherlock Hound uses original canon stories and updates them just like Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. That makes it an adaptation. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 14:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century"? How is that related to Doyle's Holmes' stories?--Bumblezellio (talk) 14:48, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century. Like Sherlock Hound it is a cartoon adaptation of Holmes. Both use the original stories. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:05, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Well since this article focus on the original stories of Doyle's Holmes, mind if I place them into Popular culture references to Sherlock Holmes instead to solve this?--Bumblezellio (talk) 15:24, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * That would probably be the more correct place for them. I'm not sure if they would belong under "TV" or "Characters modelled on Holmes" but you would probably know which one to put it under. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright thanks about that.--Bumblezellio (talk) 15:33, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

In Spain
There is an (unsuccesful) 2012 Spanish film featuring the detective and his partner titled Holmes & Watson. Madrid Days.--Pacostein (talk) 00:36, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Content dispute
has added text about Edith Meiser in the radio section. I don't believe xe has properly clarified Meiser's role in the history, nor do I believe that xyr sources are valid. Xe claims that Meiser wrote a program for the NBC radio network, but xe doesn't give a name or air date for this program. The article does mention a program named The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes that was broadcast through the late 1930s and 1940s, but this show is credited to different writers and doesn't appear to be the one xe's mentioning. I understand that xyr sources appear to be somewhat vague (and the Archive.org page appears to be part of their Wiki (i.e. user editable content) and therefore does not qualify as a reliable source). I invite comment regarding this content. Given the vagueness and unreliability of the sources, I disinclined to allow this material to remain. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:12, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Note that I have rewritten the section to avoid copyvio issues from the sources. This does not indicate that I believe the content should remain, but if it is going to remain, it must conform to copyright rules.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes (TV Series)
Just wondering if the 1971-1973 TV Series The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes should be mentioned or not. Neither Sherlock Holmes, nor Watson appear in the series but rather the series looks at detectives who were literary contemporaries of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. 79.154.24.109 (talk) 23:58, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
