Yay! I have never, ever found someone who liked this better than Young Sherlock Holmes I LOVE LOVE this adaptation. I sincerely wish Guy Henry would play Holmes again now. Every time I see him in something I lament.

Me neither! This series is really most unjustly forgotten :(.
And yes, absolutely, Guy Henry has the looks, bearing, slight strangeness and charisma - even in this over-the-top (in a good way) production he was a brillaint Holmes.
He and Richard E. Grant are my two "WHY oh why did noone ever offer them the part of Sherlock" candidates. I mean, at least Guy Henry got to play 17-year old Sherlock, while poor Grant is always someone else in Sherlock Holmes adaptations...

Oh yes! Richard E. Grant would be great, too!

Have you seen the very strange "The Other Side", where a young Richard E. Grant plays a sort of Sherlock opposite Arthur Conan Doyle? Here's a link:
