My English granny was a fan of Jeremy Brett when he was stage star before his Sherlock success. The series starred Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke in the original Victorian era. He introduced me to the Granada TV series production of 42 stories from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (each story is an hour long episode). I became a fan of the original Sherlock Holmes stories when I met my future husband at the Pentagon. Here's the record of the Tarleton murders and the case of Vamberry, the wine merchant, and the adventure of the old Russian woman, and the singular affair of the aluminium crutch, as well as a full account of Ricoletti of the club foot and his abominable wife. The title comes from a passing reference from the Sherlock Holmes short story, THE ADVENTURE OF THE MUSGRAVE RITUAL: Although SHERLOCK is a modern version of the consulting detective, THE ABOMINABLE BRIDE is a throwback to the original Victorian era. On Friday, January 1, 2015, the BBC in the UK and PBS in the US broadcast THE ABOMINABLE BRIDE starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor Watson in a special holiday episode of SHERLOCK.
