The BBC 1965 series of Sherlock Holmes that starred Douglas Wilmer has been cover in an early thread on this forum
<Two episodes of the Douglas Wilmer series in the BBC archives 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. >
Since its more troubled by incompleteness rather than been fully wiped!
With that in mind could I ask, does anyone know if the missing episodes from the 1968 series
09/09/68 The Second Stain
23/09/68 The Dancing Men
21/10/68 The Greek Interpreter
28/10/68 The Naval Treaty
04/11/68 Thor Bridge
11/11/68 The Musgrave Ritual
18/11/68 Black Peter
25/11/68 Wisteria Lodge
02/12/68 Shoscombe Old Place
09/12/68 The Solitary Cyclist
That starred Peter Cushing in the lead role were wiped since they were made on 2" Colour Videotape. Some forums state that the series was also shown in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Would these have been shown from 2” Quad masters made for this market?
Did the U.S market ever get this series in NTSC on standards converted tapes from the original PAL tapes?
Any information would be great, thanks
