Dr. Bell and Mr. Doyle: The Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes

Director: Paul Seed
Starring: Ian Richardson; Charles Dance

sez says: takes up the question of how did Conan Doyle come to develop the character of Sherlock Holmes? This film purports to tell that story.  It is an interesting peek at English society with all of its hypocrisies, and the mystery is diverting.  Not a great movie, but a nice diversion. GRADE C

mjc says:  this is the "pilot" or introduction to a short series of television mysteries featuring Bell and Doyle called Murder Rooms.  It was a fun time, good plot and above average mystery.
