![]() ![]() Overall, a wonderful episode and adaptation. Jeremy Brett is a perfect Holmes with a gritty baritone and commanding presence and Edward Hardwicke is more than an ideal contrast as a thoughtful and composed Watson. Coupled with one of the most haunting music scores of the series(gives The Red Circle a run for its money), fine sophisticated writing, good pacing, great direction and a classic story told in such an adept way you have a superb episode. The sets and costumes are meticulous, the photography is skillful and the atmosphere is resolutely creepy and mysterious. As always, the production values are superb. ![]() It is relatively faithful to the source material, and while the story is still a fine read, this adaptation in some ways improves on it. In fact, it is a contender for my favourite episode of the series, that is how good it is. I love the Granada Sherlock Holmes adaptations, and this adaptation of The Devil's Foot epitomises why. ![]()
