Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson is a television series created by Sheldon Reynolds and based on characters and storylines from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. It starred Geoffrey Whitehead, Donald Pickering and Patrick Newell in the title roles of Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson and Inspector Lestrade respectively.[1] The series is considered rather obscure, and was filmed on a relatively low budget in Poland.[1] The series combined adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's source stories with original screenplays that saw Holmes face brand new cases.
Before the series finished production, British publisher Grandreams Ltd. prepared a printed, hard-cover volume titled Sherlock Holmes & Doctor Watson Annual, which adapted the show's storylines in comic book form, with Holmes, Watson and Lestrade drawn to the likenesses of Geoffrey Whitehead, Donald Pickering, and Patrick Newell. The volume was eventually released in 1979, even though the series itself was not broadcast in the UK (where it was originally supposed to be distributed by ITV plc).
