I've a,ways considered Peter Cushing to be a very fine actor and an all round gentleman too.

Peter Cushing got a great mention on QI about a song by the jellybottys "Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable"

Re: Other Adaptations BBC Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock
The Hound of Baskervilles with Peter Cushing wasn´t exactly my cup of tea, the story was too sensationalised for my taste. But I immensely enjoyed Peter´s Sherlock in a TV series, from which a few episodes are still available at youtube - for example "The Study in Scarlett" and "Blue Carbuncle". He was fantastic there, the very epitome of a great detective. I also remember him acting as an elderly Sherlock in the creepy movie "Masks of Death" and he was quite outstanding as SH even at that age.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?
