BBC movie series recommendations please :)

A detective series recommendation:

Granada's Sherlock Holmes series starring Jeremy Brett as the 'first consulting detective' is great especially the first two or three seasons.  The producers kept to Conan Doyle's stories as much as possible for a TV adaptation although the later episodes suffered from budget cuts, a new producer, and Mr. Brett's illness.  Brett's Holmes was a bit (!) eccentric, but still truer to the character (IMO) than any of the newer actors.
