Talk:Sherlock Holmes (1954 TV series)

Fair use rationale for Image:Marion-Crawford Howard.jpg
Image:Marion-Crawford Howard.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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

American?
Does anyone know what American network showed this series? I had never heard of it until I found in through my local library on DVD. Great series, considering.

public domain
Acrroding to Copyright law of the United Kingdom:

"The 1956 Act is not retrospective in its effect, so a television or radio broadcast made before 1 July 1957 (the commencement date of the Act) has no broadcast copyright: Schedule 7 para 17, Copyright Act 1956.

In the case of a broadcast made after the commencement of the 1956 Act, the copyright in a broadcast programme expires 50 years from the end of the year in which it is broadcast: section 14(2), Copyright Act 1956. Repeating such a broadcast does not extend the period of copyright, whether the repeat is during or after the 50 year copyright period: section 14(3), Copyright Act 1956."

Is this program in public domain now? --王小朋友 (talk) 13:33, 4 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The series is available at Internet Archive with the note "This series has fallen into the Public Domain." so the answer appears to be yes.--Professor Phantasm (talk) 19:40, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

The second season
Is there any other information regarding the second season of another 39 episodes that was planned?--2606:A000:131D:45A7:4D40:F4CD:72BB:CE7C (talk) 13:15, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Who wrote the scripts?
The "Source" section currently says the stories are (mostly) non-canonical stories not based on Conan Doyle's plots, and then goes into great detail on those that are. The blatantly missing information is who wrote the ones that are non-Conan-Doyle! Is this known? According to it was in many cases the producer, Sheldon Reynolds, but I'm struggling with the concept of a website containing the words "cult" and "blog" as a WP-acceptable reliable source. If Reynolds did write these, it'd be nice to be able to credit him; if someone else did the deed, they deserve their spot in posterity. Does anyone know, or have a decent reference?
