Doctor Who Vs. Sherlock Holmes, Series 2 (1968)

Conan Doyle aficinado Peter
 Cushing reprised his cine-

matic portrayal of the Great

Detective in 1968 for the

 BBC's second series of

Sherlock Holmes when he

replaced Douglas Wilmer.

Nigel Stock again played Dr.

Watson. After a three year

hiatus, the show (now broad-

its initial success by increasing

ratings to 15.5 million viewers.
