Alan Wheatley, later to gain international fame as the Sheriff of Nottingham on the TV version of The Adventures of Robin Hood, was cast as Holmes, with Raymond Francis as Dr. Watson, Bill Owen as Inspector Lestrade, and Iris Vandelur as housekeeper Mrs. Hudson. The stories drawn from the original Doyle canon were adapted for the small screen by one-time movie critic C.A. Lejeune. Seen in six 40-minute doses, Sherlock Holmes ended its run on December 1, 1951. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
