#SHERLOCKSUNDAY Here's a little tale, a story, a case that would puzzled the great #SHERLOCKHOLMES himself maybe. THE CASE OF THE SABOTAGED EPISODE, concerns the events that unfolded live before the British television viewing public on the night of MONDAY 16th SEPTEMBER 1968. When the unsuspecting viewers settled down to watch the latest episode of the BBC's 'SHERLOCK HOLMES' series, starring Peter Cushing as Holmes and Nigel Stock as Dr Watson. Back in 1968, this series was not only the BBC's first Sherlock outing in colour, but it was afforded the luxury of being broadcast on an early form of video tape. Any outdoor location work, was shot on film and inserted, edited into the finished EDITED video programme.
AT THE POINT of completion, each programme existed in two forms, an edited version, with all studio sequences edited in order, just as you would see in an broadcast at home.
