The final episode of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes saga. The actor would die a year later in 1995.
Set at Christmas time. Holmes asks Mrs Hudson the best place to buy Christmas presents. You would think the great sleuth would had been able to deduce this himself.
It is also sets place in the background about rumours of body snatching going on in London.
Holmes is contacted by Miss Susan Cushing, who is worried that her younger sister, Mary Browner has gone missing. Later Miss Cushing gets a box with two differing severed ears.
Holmes believes that Sarah Cushing was meant to receive those ears. She had caused her riff in Mary's marriage as she had eyes for her sailor husband.
The setting is very atmospheric. There is a haunting and melancholic end to the episode. Ciaran Hinds was very effective in his role as Jim Browner.
It did look like another short story that was stretched out. You just think that the director is using some flourishes to stretch out the running time.
