Just great, thanks a lot Howard...

My pleasure, Karsten
The actor who portrays Lestrade also appeared in the Jeremy Brett-as-Holmes series. He was in The Resident Patient.

Now available

Hi all

A late addition to this thread. As a Holmes collector I was pleased to find this series 'officially' available at last. It's a German 4 DVD set of the series ( in English).
I ordered my set from eBay but it's available on Amazon too. With postage from Germany you will pay between £35-£40.

Regards

Michael
