Viewers will get a chance to catch a glimpse of Jeremy Brett's flamboyantly brilliant interpretation of Sherlock Holmes in the classic series. Brett will solve some of the most gripping mysteries of the Victorian era. A faithful adaptation of the original stories, "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" brings alive mysteries such as "A Solitary Cyclist", "The Speckled Band" and "The Naval Treaty" among others that not only enjoy worldwide recognition but also continue to fascinate and mesmerise a generation of readers across the globe.
