The Eligible Bachelor

The Eligible Bachelor (1993) is a British detective TV film you can watch online on iFILM, part of Granada's celebrated Sherlock Holmes series. American heiress Hattie Doran vanishes on her wedding day — and all the police find is her dress in the Serpentine, with a note in the pocket.

Holmes takes the case while fighting off nightmares he can't explain and isn't sure he should trust. Jeremy Brett plays him at his most unsettled here, Hardwick steady beside him as Watson. The Granada run (1984–1994) still holds up as the most faithful screen adaptation of Conan Doyle — not in spite of Brett's intensity, but because of it. Stream The Eligible Bachelor online on iFILM.
