"Burke had earlier experience with Holmes having played the villain in an adaptation of "The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet" for the 1965 BBC series[5] starring Douglas Wilmer and Nigel Stock."
Right up there with Edward Harkwicke as Watson in one of the most seamless sharings of the same character.
Yes he played Sir George Burnwell. He was very good.
ReplyDeleteHe will be always be up there as one of my favorite Watson's, now I will have to check out his other work.
DeleteI believe you have stated before the you like the Wilmer Holmes. I will check them out.
Douglas Wilmer is one of my favorite SH actors. Definitely worth a look.

Yes I have seen all the Wilmer episodes except the remaining reel of 'The Abbey Grange', I live in hope though.
