The dialogue concerning Sherlock Holmes' cocaine use and the famous 7-percent solution was taken from Doyle's "The Sign of Four" and that is probably the real reason Brett didn't repeat it in that episode.
I'm not quite sure why Irene Adler's first name is pronounced in that rather odd way ("Eereyna") especially since she is described as an American from New Jersey but I have little doubt she was based on the "Jersey Lily", Lillie Langtry, who came from the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. (Many of the Holmes stories were written for an American audience.)
In this story, Adler is a prima donna soprano and an "adventuress" who, like the real Langry, had affairs with many royal and noble personages.
In this episode, David Burke is Watson and Gayle Hunnicutt is the excellent Irene Adler. Though Holmes was not an admirer of the female sex, to him, Adler was always "the woman" whose cleverness surpassed his own in the long run.
Wolf Kahler played the fictional King of a fictionalized "Bohemia".
This is the first episode in the presently unsurpassed Brett-Burke-Hardwicke Grenada series.
