Trivia:
Owing to the illness of lead actor Jeremy Brett, this episode had Sherlock's brother Mycroft (played by Charles Gray) written in to take Sherlock's place. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Sherlock Holmes: Watson. What is the medical term for obsession? I feel, you see... that I must lay to rest a ghost, which has haunted me for some time. I shall be away for several weeks in the highlands. Meanwhile, your patients might be encouraged by seeing you more often at your consulting room.
Doctor Watson: What about Baker Street?
Sherlock Holmes: Poste restante, Diogenes Club and the irregulars. You know my methods. Oh, I shall be watching you... with my third eye.

This was very difficult to watch, not the least of which was the piercing, at times completely inappropriate, music. This tended to make it difficult to understand what was being said and to concentrate on the action. indeed, the first scene with Holmes was already a chore to make out given Brett's illness. This required the story to be changed and replace Sherlock with his brother Mycroft. For some reason another story was added to pad this out further. The direction is abysmal here; incoherent shots were made with crazy camera angles that further made enjoying this a chore. I found this a particular crime given the fact that I am a great fan of Charles Gray, and his performance was ruined by such sabotage.
