The article reads like Burke is politely saying the version he was in was the best and most faithful to ACD and that any other version will never be good enough or as accurate as his. I don't think something needs to be a stickler for all the minute details or a replica or a clone of an original to be considered a faithful reproduction.

well david burke only did TWO seasons with JB, and Edward Hardwicke did the rest of them. So How can he say that at all?

Oh. I just read the article. He meant that his version was more of ACD's victorian period, while the 2 or three modern ones were not. and oooohhh the article refereed to cumberbatch as a what? ooohhh...and cumberbatch said that JB was a family friend!! I didn't know that.
