Footsteps of a Gigantic Hound. - The Hound of the Baskervilles review by Steve
The sort of made for tv production created for the Christmas schedules,which may well be the best version of this old favourite.
The plot moves forward at a good pace, cheerfully waving past any inconsistencies. All performances are likable, with Richard E Grant a stand out. The Cornish setting is used well, with good period detail.
And there is some genuine suspense and a few thrills.
A must for Holmes enthusiasts, a well crafted and enjoyable diversion for others.
