Some of the DVD Players being sold are already unlocked. You might have one in your living room and not know it. They can also be played on your computer, or converted on your computer, which is perfectly legal for personal use, but not worth the trouble in my opinion. I would rather pay a little more and not have to deal with all those hassle’s.

If you buy older DVD's of the series, the picture quality might be around a 5 or a 6, so be forewarned, that older versions were sometimes no better than VHS versions. So if you are considering used DVD's, also consider the date they were made.

Fantastic!
I just love Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes character. They had all the episodes on Netflix for some time then as Netflix does with painful regularity they pulled it (probably their license for the series expired but nonetheless it is a shock to see something you enjoy disappearing in 7 days - but I digress). Only through the first season I was hooked and decided to just buy the entire series since I'm sure I'll watch it multiple times through the years. I bought this UK version since it is half the cost of the US version and is exactly the same series. The "secret" to buying (and PLAYING) Region 2 dvd's is to simply have a multi-region DVD player. You can buy one specifically OR do what I do, which is to have a second optical drive in your computer and assign it to play Region 2. Windows lets you change the setting up to 5 times but for the cost of a second optical drive (I bought the generic/bulk Lite-On drive right here on Amazon for $20) I just added the drive and permanently assigned it Region 2. I have an HDMI cable running from the computer to my TV and voila! - perfect picture and sound. I buy Region 2 dvd's whenever I can and have paid for the drive many times over plus saved a lot of money in general. As I said Region 2 is exactly the same quality and technology - why get ripped off by being forced against your will into Region 1? These discs play perfectly and the quality is as good as it was when I was streaming it from Netflix. This is one of the most entertaining series I have come across and I am thrilled to have made the purchase at less than $1 per episode and I can have it for the rest of my life. I'm 100% completely satisfied.

Include Sherlock and Elementary to your watching list.
Well, we started watching this series a few weeks ago. We are just on our third disc on Season 1. So this may an unfair review. We got in to the Sherlock Holmes stories with Elementary with Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. Then we went to Sherlock with Benedict Cumberback. Although Sherlock Holmes parallels the original stories most closely, we would rate both series more compelling and interesting to watch than this one. Miller and Cumberbach are superior actors, and the villains more threatening. Especially the way Moriarity was written in the Shlock series interpretations. The Mycroft character was the best in Elementary. Side by side, Sherlock Holmes ranks 3 out of 3 in acting, production, and story. We would give Sherlock Holmes 1 out of 3 for staying true to the original stories. Either way, we will watch every episode because Sherlock Holmes remains far superior to the crap offered on Disney, Netflix, and the like.

First class Stories.
Jeremy Brett was the best actor in the role of Sherlock Holmes. He not only acted but seemed to live the part. The written Stories were brought to life. After watching the stories if you read them, you can hear Brett's voice on the words of the main character. A much missed actor whose talents can still be enjoyed by viewing these DVDS.

Perfect (Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes) region 2 DVD set.
Received the DVD collection as promised and so far, since I've watched disc one and disc 2, it plays perfectly. Very happy to enjoy these wonderful BBC performances by actor Jeremy Brett. Great, complete collection and, if you have a DVD player that will play region 2, this is a great set to order.

Overseas fulfillment was no problem.

Finally!! The "complete works" of Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes
Liked the fact that what many consider the definitive Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) is now available as Complete Works. Very exciting and entertaining. A must for fans!!

Jeremy Brett is the definitive Sherlock Holmes, for me, so the television show is always worth watching, and owning. Don't get me wrong, I like the Cumberbatch/Freeman version as well, with it's modern twist (at least seasons 1, 2 ... the writers lost the plot a bit in season 3, 4) ... but the Jeremy Brett version is the Victorian classic version, and about as close to the Arthur Conan Doyle books as it is possible to get. So, in terms of the story, if you are a Sherlock Holmes fan and you haven't seen Jeremy Brett versions, they are absolutely worth it! I wanted a good quality version, as I had previously had the old green cover Granada DVDs from a long time ago which had some quality issues. This set is great and the blurays are a definite improvement! Do keep in mind that it is a version code that is not compatible with USA/Canada DVD players unless you have a region-free player. The seller reached out to me before he charged/shipped the item to make sure that I was aware of that and to check whether I still wanted the item which was MUCH appreciated! I did want it, and was aware, but I can see how many people might not notice that detail in the description, and so checking before shipping was a really helpful and genuine thing for this seller to do! The item showed up in excellent condition as well. The inserts are beautiful. It is the complete series (The Adventures, The Return, The Casebook, The Memoires, and the Feature Film collection which is combined with a few of these seasons on the disks), it is all there. I was specifically looking for this remastered UK version with PAL coding but you do need to make sure that your bluray player will be able to play this. If it does, this is great picture quality and definitely worth having!

Ich möchte hiermit auch meinen Senf zu der Sherlock Holmes Bluray-Box geben. Die Serie wurde zwischen den Jahren 1984 und 1994 produziert und enthält diverse Erzählungen als auch Romane aus Doyles Kanon. Herausragend ist, dass sich die Produktion nicht allzu viele Freiheiten nimmt, und sich (meistens) sehr nahe an die Vorlage hält. Das viktorianische England ist sehr schön nachgezeichnet und die Rollen hervorragend besetzt - vor allem Jeremy Brett als Sherlock Holmes. Es ist eine Freude zu sehen, wie dieser Mann mit seiner Rolle verschmolzen ist. Dr. John Watson wurde gleich von 2 Schauspielern verkörpert - David Burke und Edward Hardwicke. Dies fällt aber - besonders in der deutschen Fassung - kaum auf, da mit der Zweitbesetzung ein ebenbürtiger Ersatz gefunden wurde. Hardwicke wirkt zwar etwas älter und gesetzter als Burke, da aber zwischen dem Wechsel ein Zeitraum von 3 Jahren stattfindet - und er (vorerst) sogar die gleiche deutsche Synchronstimme hat, wurde hier der perfekte Doppelgänger gewählt. Zu Bild und Ton: Es wurde hier in einer Rezension bemängelt, dass die Bluray keine Aufwertung zur DVD-Fassung darstellt. Diesen Eindruck hatte ich zuerst auch - ich habe aber keine Vergleichsmöglichkeit, da ich die DVDs nicht besitze. Allerdings macht die Bildqualität ab Staffel 2 einen deutlichen Sprung, ab dann ist das Bild auf einem schönen HD-Niveau. Ich würde also definitiv die Bluray-Fassung bevorzugen. Das kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen, ich habe die Serie auf einem großen 75-Zoll TV geschaut. Zu bemängeln gibt es eigentlich nur die deutsche Vertonung. Leider wechsen die Synchronsprecher sehr oft, besonders bei Sherlock Holmes. Watson hat in der DDR-Synchro der regulären Folgen aber durchweg die gleiche Stimme, und selbst im 1. Langfilm. Ab Staffel 5 wurden die restlichen Folgen nachträglich synchronisiert, man erkennt es deutlich daran, dass viele bekannte deutsche Stimmen bis in kleine Nebenrollen besetzt wurden. Aber ärgerlicherweise wurde wohl Staffel 4 im Zuge dieser Vertonung vergessen, hier liegt keine deutsche Tonspur vor. Dies betrifft allerdings nur 4 Folgen. In den Filmen wechseln die Stimmen dann allerdings auch leider immer wieder. Ich kann dennoch der Serie aufgrund dieses Mankos keine schlechtere Bewertung geben. Es würde der detailverliebten Inszenierung und der Leistung von Jeremy Brett nicht gerecht werden. Daher 5 Sterne von mir, auch wenn der letzte Stern nicht ganz so hell funkelt.

D'abord, je ne comprend pas toutes les critiques qui m'ont fait hésiter à l'achat, vraiment le résultat est brillant. J'ai la version DVD et je commente donc en relation la version Blu-ray en master restauré que j'ai acheté. Il est vrai que c'est une série qui date du début des année 90', effectivement, dans les plans sombres, il y a des détails qui auraient pu être plus visibles. Parfois, un léger grain. Plus l'image est lumineuse et plus le rendu est bon. Cependant, cela n'a plus rien à voir avec la version DVD, c'est nettement supérieur. Les décors, les objets, la texture des habits et même dans les scènes avec un contraste élevé c'est très bon. Le son est également restauré, bien plus limpide avec un rapport signal/bruit meilleur, 2.0, stéréo d'origine pour la version originale et la version française. Peut-être cela aurait pu être meilleur comme le signalent plusieurs commentaires...?... La série date quand même et le travail reste fantastique, en tout cas il marque une très grande différence avec la version DVD au niveau des rendus techniques. La reprise du master d'origine se ressent tout le long. Les sous titres français peuvent être enlevés pour les connaisseurs de la langue Anglaise. Je conseillerais, même si les doublures françaises sont parfaites, d'écouter au moins une fois la vraie voix de Jeremy Brett qui fait passer beaucoup dans son grand jeux d'acteur et son phrasé. Vraiment je redécouvre la série que je connais pourtant par coeur. Jeremy Brett reste pour moi le meilleur Sherlock Holmes "classique". Les récent "Sherlock" avec Dominique Cumberbatch sont de très haut niveaux et jouent avec l'oeuvre de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle avec maestria. Il incarne également parfaitement Sherlock Holmes dans une vision plus "moderne"... Je ne crois pas qu'il y ai à choisir qui est le meilleur. C'est simplement différent. Le boitier se présente comme un gros box blu-ray contenant 10 blu-ray repartie en plusieurs "page plastique", dans un coffret carton. Donc, l'intégral de la série tiens dans un box ne prend pas beaucoup de place. C'est bien pensé. Effectivement, comme le disent plusieurs critiques, il n'y a pas de livret. Mais ce n'est vraiment pas grave. Sur chaque disque est inscrit le numéro de la saison et des épisodes présent, le dernier réunissant les films en les nommant par écris. vraiment un détail... pour les "fous", dont je fais parti de "Sherlock Holmes" en tous cas. Mais vraiment, ce n'est pas gênant pour le néophyte. Le prix est justifié, l'intégral est bien là. Un livret aurait rendu le coffret parfait, peut être également un cartonnage plus épais et classieux?... Mais cela aurait fais monter le prix de vente et c'est déjà très bon comme présentation. Le prix abordable est un atout pour sa diffusion, cela aurait été dommage que des personnes hésitent à cause d'un prix de vente trop élevé, moins de 60 euros pour moi lors de l'achat en Mars 2017. En conclusion: parfait pour un cadeau, pour soi, pour découvrir Sherlock Holmes, indispensable aux fans qui ont déjà la version DVD... Que du bonheur! :)
