“even more highly” [SCAN]
The early days of watching the Granada/ITV production of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, starring Jeremy Brett and David Burke, happened in the mid-1980s, when television sets were cathode-ray tube affairs and the primary recording devices were VHS machines.
As a result, viewing and re-viewing of these classic episodes meant a low-resolution experience that lacked the color and crispness that we have come to enjoy in modern television viewing.
The advent of DVDs and Blu-ray have resulted in high-definition (HD) viewings that have led to amazing details (such as subtle patterns in clothing or more visible props) to pop for modern viewers. And 4K technology is the latest in that evolution.
4K resolution refers to a display with a horizontal resolution of roughly 4,000 pixels, or 3840 x 2160 pixels. This means that 4K displays have a significantly higher pixel density than Full HD (1080p) displays, resulting in sharper images, more detailed textures, and improved color accuracy.
And that's precisely what we've got with the latest iteration of the Jeremy Brett / Granada series.
YouTube channel Owen Davies has created a playlist of the Granada Sherlock Holmes series remastered in 4K, thanks to the advances in artificial intelligence.
He writes:
“Ultimately, this playlist will contain every episode of every season (The Adventures of, Return of, Casebook of and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes), plus the feature-length TV movies, AI remastered to 4K.”

The game's afoot!
