Watching Sherlock Holmes whilst having lunch

[ranworthbreeze]

We were having lunch whilst watching an episode of the Jeremy Brett series of Sherlock Holmes, it was the "Sign of the Four" also featuring John Thaw as Jonathan Small.

I have seen this episode a number of times and the chase in the two steam launches in the closing stages is very dramatic.

I only noticed today that this chase up the Thames in the story must have been filmed on the Broads when one of the swing bridges the two boats passed under could be clearly seen as Reedham or Somerleyton bridge even in the night sequence.

According to the following link the locations for the episode were in Manchester, Liverpool, Yorkshire, Malta, and London, and the final chase on the Thames was recreated on the River Yare in Norfolk.
