"The Speckled Band" was part of the "Detective" series.
All 12 episodes of the "Sherlock Holmes" series ( of which "The Illustrious Client" was the first episode ) exist on 16mm ( KAL ).
I have that Video as well, it is very good..a quality production.

Two episodes of the Douglas Wilmer series are incomplete - "The Abbey Grange" is missing the first reel of two, "The Bruce-Partington Plans" is missing the second reel of two. Technically "The Speckled Band" is incomplete, in that it was first transmitted in "Detective" and all episodes of that series (its first series) had an introduction by Rupert Davies (as Maigret) - the version that exists of "Speckled Band" has the "Sherlock Holmes" series titles and is minus the intro.

No, it was just repackaged by BBC Enterprises to be sold as part of the SH series (thus making a batch of 13 episodes).

Interesting that the Wilmer 'Holmes' have a better survival rate than the later Cushing series. Were the Cushing episodes telerecorded for overseas sales?
