Sherlock Holmes Sezon 1 Odcinek 4: The Red-Headed League

When a beautiful young woman is threatened by unknown dangers in a remote country house, Holmes and Watson are quick to fly to her aid. Suzanne Neve’s authentic portrayal of Violet Hunter as ‘a very brave and sensible girl’ is not overshadowed by Patrick Wymark’s bravura performance as Rucastle, whose joviality masks a cruelty, tellingly revealed in his smiling approval of his child’s brutality towards small animals. It is just one of many excellent touches in Vincent Tilsley’s adaptation.
