A number of films were made (Holmes has appeared in more films than any other single fictional character), some of which took a number of liberties with the story:
* Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce starred as Holmes and Watson in a popular series of film adaptations in the 1930s and 1940s; the last two were anachronistically set in the then present-day era, pitting Holmes and Watson against Nazi spies. Bruce's portrayal of Watson as a bumbling incompetent rather than the original ladykilling man of action helped begin a long chain of similar [[Adaptation Decay]].
Line 108 ⟶ 110:
* There was also a series of [[The BBC|BBC]] radio adaptations starring Clive Merrison as Holmes. Merrison's performance has some marked similarities to Brett's; he is the only actor to have appeared in adaptations of ''all'' the original stories, as well as new pastiches.
* A number of radio adaptations, both adaptations and original stories, starring Nigel Bruce as Watson and first Basil Rathbone and then Tom Conway as Holmes. (Rathbone and Bruce were associated with the roles from a long-running film series. Several are available [http://www.archive.org/details/HQSherlockRathboneTCS here].)
* [[Big Finish]], most famous for their extensive range of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Big Finish Doctor Who|audio plays]], have been producing a series of Sherlock Holmes dramas. There are four in the series so far:{{when}} one is an adaptation of a canonical story, one is set during Holmes' elderly years after the passing of Dr. Watson, one is a metafictional tale in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Professor Moriarty conspire against Holmes, and the most recent installment pits Holmes against [[Jack the Ripper]]. The Great Detective is played by Roger Llewellyn and Nicholas Briggs.
