Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (2004 Simon Cellan Jones)

Rupert Everett as Sherlock and Ian Hart as a sympathetic Watson - almost in the mode of the Wilder/Diamond version - written by Allan Cubitt (Prime Suspect 2, The Boys Are Back, The Fall). And it's rather good, as a villainous fetishistic murderer abducts and kills young posh girls in the thick London Fog (shot by David Katznelson).

With Neil Dudgeon (Lastrade), Anne Carroll (Mrs H), Helen McCrory (Watson's fiancee), Perdita Weeks (young girl set as bait), Tamsin Egerton (narrowly escapes - St Trinian's, Chalet Girls etc.), Michael Fassbender (with his shark-like teeth), Guy Henry.

Music by Adrian Johnston, pd. David Roger. BBC / Tiger Aspect / WGBH.
