Ranking the Sherlocks
Elementary, dear listener…
For this episode, Tom and Morgan pick three actors who have played Sherlock Holmes, before agreeing on an overall ranking of the very best on-screen Sherlocks of all time.
We also discuss a few honourable mentions, the difference between a ‘bumbling’ or ‘capable’ John Watson and the politics of the deerstalker hat.
The main six actors we focus on are:
- Basil Rathbone
- Peter Cushing
- Robert Downey Jr
- Robert Stephens
- Benedict Cumberbatch
- Jeremy Brett
