i agree with others about element of this story which seem anachronistic to sherlock holmes . the fingerprinting be definitely jar . what make holmes so brilliant be that he be able to find criminal without the help of any technology . my only other real problem with this story be the incredibly terrible make up job do on holmes for his disguise . that be the only moment that be laughable and take me out of the story . please . who wouldn not know there be something weird about that face . jeremy brett have much more convincing disguise in the 1980s . speaking of jeremy brett and he be so brilliant that it be difficult to see any other actor in the role of holmes . however and ruper everett do a great job of create his own kind of holmes . he give off a much young energy ( which also make the much late time frame seem odd ) and but definitely capture the aloofness and arrogance of holmes . he be a pleasure to watch . ian hart be a hoot a watson . the two actor play very well off each other and there be some quite funny scene . the story wasn not bad . it do not give anything away too soon like a lot of mystery have be do lately . the atmosphere be spooky and there be a tension throughout the story that keep your attention . this production be not particularly accurate with regard to the holmes story and but it be an enjoyable program and be worth watch . p i be very sad to read in another review that the bbc would not be do any more murder room . now those be some great story .
