Classic Children's Television - Young Sherlock

The great detective unravels a mystery in his formative years.

This eight-part series, shown early on Sunday evenings, depicts Sherlock Holmes as a 16 year old schoolboy (donning a deerstalker even then), assisted this time by John Whitney in an investigation at a manor house. It appeared three years before Steven Spielberg and Barry Levinson's cinema version of Young Sherlock Holmes and the Pyramid of Fear.
