Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not as good as the book, but still worth watching.
9.72 min. | 4.90 user rating		 This is the 2002 BBC production of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Basekrvilles," starring Richard Roxburgh as 'Sherlock Holmes,' Ian Hart as 'Dr. Watson,' and Richard E. Grant as 'Jack Stapleton.' Other interesting screen credits of these excellent actors: Richard Roxburgh also played 'The Duke' in "Moulin Rouge!"

Ian Hart also played 'Dr. Watson' in "The Case of the Silk Stocking" (2004); 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle' in "Finding Neverland" (2004); and 'Professor Quirinus Quirrell' and 'Voldemort' in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." (2001) Richard E. Grant also played 'Mycroft Holmes' in "Sherlock" (2002); and 'Barkis Bittern' in "Corpse Bride" (2005).

I also had trouble converting files, so in some of the later parts, you will see the watermark disappear; unfortunately, the quality also decreases in those few parts without the watermark.
