Peter Cushing fans will already be familiar with the great man's performances as Sherlock Holmes in Hammer's The Hound of the Baskervilles and Tyburn's The Masks of Death. Fewer people, however, have seen Cushing in the acclaimed BBC series Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. These fifty-minute episodes were first aired in 1968 and are currently unavailable on video.

There is a rare opportunity to see an episode when the National Film Theatre screens A Study in Scarlet, starring Peter Cushing as Holmes and Nigel Stock as Watson, on Tuesday 24 November. To book tickets telephone the NFT Box Office on +44 171 928 3232.
