Who, in your opinion was the best occupier of 221B Baker Street?

I would have to say Basil Rathbone in the classic 30's/40's episodes along with his bumbling sidekick Nigel Bruce..(Dr Watson)

I have the whole Rathbone as a box set and I thought that The Voice of Terror just come across as a wartime propaganda film rather than anything else.
Yes, one of the weaker ones I must admit...the ending is rather cringeworthy....

Stiff upper lip and all that.

I aim to acquire some Rathbone films as I have not seen them though they would have to be spectacular to change my mind. smile
Well, spectacular might be a bit strong....biggrin, but they are very good......make sure you get them, you haven't a moment to lose.....smile
