The Hound Of The Baskervilles

Dudley Moore, Peter Cook and Kenneth Williams star in The Hound Of The Baskervilles as you've never seen it before.

What is the curse that hangs over the Baskerville family? What is the terrible beast that roams the moor? Exhausted by his most recent case, Holmes sends Watson to Baskerville Hall to solve the mystery on his own while he takes a well deserved rest in London's nightspots. Watson, on his first solo case, investigates the strange goings on at Baskerville Hall and begins to suspect everyone he questioins, including himself, until frustrated at every step, he has to call for the great detective to help him out. Their discovery at Grympen Mire of the real Hound of the Baskervilles is too horrible to tell.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson) give us their unique interpretation of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic, supported by an all-star cast of British comedy greats.

First released: Monday 30th August 2004
