A little over-extended as a two-hour movie, The Eligible Bachelor was one of several such feature-length productions made (late 1992) in Granada Television's long-running Sherlock Holmes series. Based on the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor, this TV movie finds Holmes (the ailing Jeremy Brett, playing an increasingly darker and more neurotic detective) and Dr. Watson (Edward Hardwicke) called upon to help in a case involving the disappearance of Henrietta Doran (Paris Jefferson), fiancé of the noble Lord Robert St Simon (Simon Williams), who was last seen with a former lover of St Simon's, Flora Millar (Joanna McCallum). The unimaginative Scotland Yard instantly arrests Millar on suspicion of foul play, but it is Holmes who has to find the missing woman. Fans of the entire series might best enjoy this slightly clunky programme, though there is much of interest about Brett's performance to recommend it. --Tom Keogh

An enigmatic but deeply talented man Peter Sellers remains one of the finest British actors to grace our screens. This special Box Set collection pays tribute to his full range of acting abilities - from the farce comedy to the action drama - with three contrasting yet equally entertaining films. Orders Are Orders: A sleepy army barracks is about to be overrun by a film company shooting a science fiction caper - much to the annoyance of the Divisional Commander who decides to make a surprise inspection. The Blockhouse: A group of POW's is forced to seek shelter deep inside a Nazi Blockhouse packed with supplies and hidden treasures. When the bombardment causes the walls to collapse and there is no hope of escape their physical comfort gives way to mental disintegration that provides these hardened soldiers with their toughest test of the war. Where Does It Hurt? In this classic hospital farce Sellers plays a greedy and crooked hospital administrator who has perfected the duplicitous arts of conning insurance companies bill-padding and unnecessary surgery. Ably abetted by Jo-Ann Pflug (MASH) and Pat Morita (Karate Kid Happy Days) Sellers puts in a show-stealing performance that lives long in the memory.
