i do like this BBC version got the dvd set recently i liked Cushing in the Hammer Hound of the Baskervilles and enjoyed his performance in this version
It's a palace.He said it was a palace, Yeah, well, he would, wouldn't he?
I've a,ways considered Peter Cushing to be a very fine actor and an all round gentleman too.

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?
