Fearing that the recent death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville, is linked to a family legend of a supernatural hound from hell, Dr James Mortimer calls on Sherlock Holmes [Tom Baker] and the ever-willing Dr Watson [Terence Rigby] in a bid to prevent the same fate befalling the new heir to the estate, Sir Henry Baskerville [Nicholas Woodeson]. A mysterious note and the baffling theft and return of some boots set Holmes and Watson Dartmoor-bound, but death awaits on the remote and treacherous fog-bound moors as an eerily-glowing menace prepares to strike... This four-part BBC series from the celebrated Doctor Who production team of Barry Letts [Producer] and Terrance Dicks [Script Editor] was filmed on location in Dartmoor and is considered the most faithful adaptation of the classic story for television. Also featuring Christopher Ravenscroft, Caroline John and William Squire this classic tale of evil rising from beneath the surface is brought to life for the first time on DVD.
