Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson head down to Dartmoor to investigate the case of a young man who is convinced that his father was killed 20 years earlier by a giant, red-eyed hound. Furthermore, he has recently been confronted by the animal himself. Holmes is skeptical - the description given is not possible - but investigates anyway. Prime suspect - the local Army base, where scientists are performing genetic experiments on animals.
Quite dark and very intriguing. Tension-filled with a sinister undertone, there's hardly a dull moment in this episode.
Holmes shows some vulnerability for once - about the only other time we've seen it was in A Scandal in Balgravia and there it was for different reasons...
Quite enthralling from start to finish.
