The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.S06E06.The Cardboard Box

The Cardboard Box (episode No. 41) is the 6th episode of season 6 of the Granada series: Sherlock Holmes (The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes), starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson, aired on ITV on 11 April 1994.

The episode is an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's short story : The Adventure of the Cardboard Box (1893).

When this episode was shot, Jeremy Brett, too sick, had to abandon the series. He terminated his contract with Granada and died of a heart attack on 12 September 1995. The course of the Sherlock Holmes series had not been littered with roses. The various protagonists of this cinematographic and human adventure fought hard to overcome the considerable obstacles represented by the reduction of budgets, the demands of management or dramatic health problems. Through courage, talent and solidarity, they have succeeded in creating a work of remarkable quality that will survive the passage of time.
