I can recommend watching the Granada Holmes adaptations with the text in front of you. Whole sections exactly the same. Interesting tweaks in other places which are often improvements.
Watching *and* reading ‘The Solitary Cyclist’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It strikes me that this has something of the feel of a ghost story – perhaps partly because the Granada adaptation has something of Lawrence Gordon Clark about it.
