[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jeremy Brett.jpg
Image:Jeremy Brett.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Differences from the original stories
Numerous small differences exist between the TV adaptation and the original stories by Conan Doyle. In many cases these deviations provide an amplified role for Watson. For example, the TV version of The_Adventure_of_Shoscombe_Old_Place shows Watson occupying the butler and cook of the mansion with a medical consultation on their ailments while Holmes snoops around inside the house and collects hair samples of the suspected victim. In Doyle's story there is no such diversion or snooping around - in fact the narrative begins with an examination of the hair samples, provided to Holmes by a police inspector. Similarly, in The_Adventure_of_the_Norwood_Builder the TV version depicts Watson as discovering the money transfers to the name of Cornelius, while the original story credits that finding to Holmes. The TV version of The_Disappearance_of_Lady_Frances_Carfax begins with Watson as a fellow guest of the Lady at a Continental hotel, while in the original story Watson is sent on an enquiry mission to the hotel by Holmes only after her reported disappearance.
The TV version of The_Adventure_of_the_Creeping_Man deviates significantly from Doyle's original, with the introduction of a subplot of simian thefts and a complete elimination of the mysterious scientist Lowenstein who is the source of Prof.Presbury's elixir in the original.
