Gone Fishin'
Who would be Watson?If we were actually filming in the late 50s/early 60's:
HOLMES- Kenneth More
IRENE ADLER- Joan Collins OR Dana Wynter
MORIARTY- Trevor Howard OR if you wanted someone younger, Laurence Harvey.
I see Mycroft as maybe being a guest star who steps in every couple of episodes to explain certain things
that have been going on. Thus he could be played by James Mason or even- drool- Lawrence Olivier(hey,
if he did THE BETSY later in his career, of course Sir Larry could have seen his way clear to doing TV!)
For the 80s/90s remake: Anthony Andrews as Holmes, Jeremy Irons as Watson? No Aloysius the teddy bear though. Or the other way around!
