Misterele adevăratului Sherlock Holmes

Serialul Murder Rooms: Mysteries of the Real Sherlock Holmes (Misterele adevăratului Sherlock Holmes) a fost inspirat de alegerea lui Sir Arthur Conan Doyle de a baza personajul lui Sherlock Holmes pe doctorul Joseph Bell, care i-a fost tutore la Universitatea din Edinburgh și a lucrat ocazional ca expert criminalist pentru Poliția din Edinburgh. Serialul BBC & WGBH Boston a exagerat asemănările dintre Bell și Holmes pentru a avea un efect dramatic, Doyle acționând la fel cum doctorul Watson acționează în poveștile lui Doyle.^[4][5]

• Robin Laing - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (în episodul "The Dark Beginnings of Sherlock Holmes") (personaj în locul doctorului Watson)
• Charles Edwards - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (personaj în locul doctorului Watson)
• Ian Richardson - Dr Joseph Bell (personaj în locul lui Sherlock Holmes)
