Based on the best-selling anthologies of Victorian and Edwardian detective fiction, The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes showcases the world-famous consulting detective’s fictional rivals in the fog-shrouded crime capital of London.

Set in the three decades before the Great War, each story dealt with an individual and perplexing case (and a different detective). This top-flight, BAFTA-winning series attracted an incredible array of talent, including John Thaw, Derek Jacobi, Joss Ackland, Jean Marsh, Michael Sheard and Richard Beckinsale. This set contains the 13 high-quality episodes that made up the complete second series.
