I believe that the story Charles Augustus Milverton is one of the
best Sherlock Holmes stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote.
Although not an enourmous amount of actual Detective work occurs, and
although the plot is not a complex one, I found the characterisation
and the storytelling technique to be most engaging. It's also good,
too, of course, to see such a nasty character as Charles Milverton
get his just desserts.

Did anyone see the 1992 Granada Television movie length version of
this story, called THE MASTER BLACKMAILER, starring Robert Hardy as
Charles Augustus Milverton and the late, great Jeremy Brett as
Sherlock Holmes?

If so, what did you think of this television production compared to
the original Conan Doyle story?

Personally, I thought that Jeremy Brett and Robert Hardy were just
brilliant!!!!!

I look forward to any discussion on this matter.
