Watching these two in my favourite screen version of The Hound of the Baskervilles. A reminder of just how good - not to say superb - Cushing and Morell were as Holmes and Watson. A shame we didn't get to see them in the roles again. #sherlockholmes #hammerfilms #TheHoundOfTheBaskervilles

Just discovered that the very best, noblest, and the most iconic Watson of them all has passed. He was a crucial part of the Granada series, and a fundamental reason why those first 13 episodes remain the gold standard of Holmes adaptations. And a superb actor all round. My most dearest Watson.
