When I was a kid in the 80's this show was on channel 11 in NY on Sunday nights at 11:30. Here I am 35 years later on a Sunday night at 11:30 watching again. Thank you!

Haha Lestrade was amazingly hilarious in this episode at the end. Love this Sherlock series very much. Enjoying the old times are the best times.

“There’s been a fearful run on wild boar traps lately, but I’ll do my best. 🤣 Just wonderful dialogue.

Thank-you! This is the Dr. Watson that acts like a fellow that was an Army doctor, with his senses all there. He is the one I much prefer. Ronald makes a great Sherlock Holmes, as well. Thanks again!

Love these old TV Holmes episodes! Mostly done tongue in cheek they were very entertaining. Didn't realize Ronald Howard was son of Leslie Howard, a great actor. Norma Jean Morrissey

The writer of these stories had a brilliant imaginative mind! So glad he wrote his adventures down for us!

For anyone who cares the revolvers Holmes handles and fires in this episode appear to be a Colt New Service revolver, a double action revolver made from the 1890s to around the 1940s, the points that say it is a colt are the cylinder latch, the direction the cylinder rotates in, and that the cylinder pin is unshrouded, not like double action revolver made these days. The other revolver he is holding is a webley bulldog revolver, or possibly a Belgian made copy, a revolver similar to that one fatally wounded Us president James A Garfield in 1881.

An excellent episode of "Sherlock Holmes" with Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford. This has been a good series from 1954 - well worth watching.

Wonderful episode, in perfect quality, sticking closely to the mystery of the Red Headed League. It is a shame RICHARD GREENE could not appear in this episode and join his old comrades from Sherwood Forest: Archie Duncan (Little John) and Alexander Gauge (Friar Tuck). What a novelty that would have been! KAN 4.19 UK

Ronald Howard was so handsome, even more than his father Leslie ♥️

"You kill somebody one of these days Holmes Parliament will pass a law against people like you." He wasn't too far off
@sampollock2987 5 years ago

What a wonderful find...almost as good as a Holme's solved mystery! Have been picking up a few "older" nuggets along the way such as "The adventures of Jim Bowie" and "Racket Squad". Both are worth a decent watch....carry on and the best to all!
