A young solicitor, McFarlane (Matthew Solon), comes to Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) begging for help just before being arrested by the sturdy if obtuse Inspector Lestrade (Colin Jeavins) of Scotland Yard. McFarlane is accused of killing a man who not only asked the attorney to draw up his will, but then left all of his possessions to McFarlane in the document. Add to this obvious motive for murder plenty of physical evidence linking the unhappy suspect to the awful crime--including a bloody thumbprint at the scene--and Holmes and his ally, Dr. Watson (David Burke), have their work cut out for them. The ingenious solution to the puzzle is only one of the exciting highlights in this episode of the long-running Granada Television series, featuring the usual sterling work by stars Brett and Burke and a sound character interpretation of the limited Lestrade by Jeavins. --Tom Keogh

The "Norwood Builder" is a top-rate adventure of Sherlock Holmes. It is one of my favourite adventures. It has a light feel to it (unlike the ones with darker story-lines, such as the "Red Circle"). The episode is best watched over lunch. The story-line is actually quite simple. Sherlock Holmes must prove that John Hector MacFarlane did not commit the murder of the "Norwood Builder." This is a must for anyone who even remotely enjoys Sherlock Holmes.
