Jeremy Brett was my favorite Holmes. He was born to play that role. The Hound of the Baskervilles was one of my favorite books as a kid. I brought it on vacation with me when I was 11 and stayed in reading with a flashlight under the covers. I didn't even want to go out and play.
I have read all the Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes series that are available...
I even have an Original Conan Doyle Leather bound Volume of the Strand magazine from 1886 which is where the very first Sherlock Holmes stories were published..
