The Hound of the Baskervilles is a 2002 mystery-crime television movie, that was created by the British Broadcasting Corporation, and produced by Tiger Aspect Productions. It is an adaptation of the 1902 novel of the same name by Arthur Conan Doyle. Produced by Tiger Aspect Productions. It was directed by David Attwood, and adapted by Allan Cubitt. The film stars Richard Roxburgh as Sherlock Holmes, and Ian Hart as Doctor Watson.
This adaptation diverges from the novel in a few instances, such as Sir Henry not being involved in the final attempt to entrap Stapleton, Stapleton murdering his wife, and Stapleton being shot dead by Watson just before the former can shoot a mire-trapped Holmes. The film is set in the time period the original tale was published, as opposed to when it was originally set. It portrays a séance performed by Dr. Mortimer's wife, a scene which did not appear in the original novel, though a similar scene did appear in a version released in 1939.
