Terrific!5
I was glued to the set through the entire movie!! Lots of twists and turns...never disappointing!

Brilliant series - totally recommend5
Murder Rooms is a great follow on from Dr Bell and Mr Doyle. Being a great Sherlock Holmes fan, I found this a fascinating insite into the man behind Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle), the issues facing both his personal life and difficulties associated with being a doctor in the 18th century (including the necessity of cultivating wealthy benefactors). The insite into early forensics and the fascinating characters of both Bell and Doyle, played to perfection by both Ian Richarson and Charles Edwards. The true affection and friendship that shines through this series helps to keep at bay the truely dark times in which they are set. My one complaint would have to be the closing credits on episode 4 where Doyle states that these mysteries were just the beginning, suggesting that a second series was to follow. Unfortunately, despite both critical and public acclaim a second series was not commissioned by the BBC - a terrible shame.

Elementary my dear Doyle4
What a brilliant method to give us another Sherlock Holmes series. While Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was at medical school and first starting his medical practice he met a real-life surgeon named Dr. Bell that was a living Sherlock Holmes. What an inspiration he would be for books would he not? So the first two hour movie, "Dr. Bell and Mr. Doyle", introduces us to this excellent Murder Rooms series of four movies. During the first movie, "Dr. Bell and Mr. Doyle", we find Doyle in medical school working with the forensics expert Dr. Bell that assists the police from time to time with their investigations. All five movies are a must see for fans of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series a few years ago. The stories are slightly different takes on some of the books Doyle wrote. All four movies in this set are 90 minutes each and very interesting. This set picks-up with Doyle after he gets out of medical school and starts his practice. In the first movie Dr. Bell comes to visit Doyle after hearing about a hooded cyclist following a lady. The acting, directing, costumes, sets, scenery, and music are all first rate in all four movies. The DVD quality is very good. Sound and clarity was excellent. I highly recommend this series for the whole family.
