The story wasn't Conan Doyle's best in the first place, and this episode The Creeping Man ranks around the lower middle of the list for ranking the episodes of the Sherlock Holmes Granada series from best to worst. The story is ridiculous and felt rather rushed in the adaptation, and while I did like some of the playful tone of the script some of it did feel overdone with the comedy, almost in a farcial way. On the other hand, the episode is beautifully filmed and made, the music is hauntingly beautiful as always, the beginning is quietly intense contrasting to the thunderously shocking ending and the acting from Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke while having been better is suitably commanding. The supporting cast are solid, but nobody really stands out. All in all, reasonably enjoyable but not one of the best, still better than Last Vampyre and Eligible Bachelor as far as the Casebook episodes go. 7/10 Bethany Cox
