The Case of Sherlock Holmes was a feature in the BBC's well-respected 40 Minutes strand (despite lasting nearly twice that length) described by its makers as "a documentary entertainment". It's a detailed look at the whole, sometimes bizarre, world that's grown up around the character: everything from Old Foggy London Town package tours for wealthy Americans to serious literary scholars, from historical and social analysts to the dedicated group who make a yearly pilgrimage to the tiny US town of Moriarty to heap abuse on the head of Holmes's greatest enemy and sing "Happy Unbirthday, You Bastard" in his memory. The many film and TV extracts include some real rarities, including a brief clip of Leonard Nimoy in the role. The programme is presented by Tim Pigott-Smith, who has played both Holmes and Watson. Oh - keep watching afterthe closing credits for a couple of tiny but nice codas. Written by Brian Thompson & David Pearson and produced by David Pearson. Aired on BBC2 on 10th December 1987.

故事梗概：
1804年，生活落魄、面临多重困境的贝多芬创作了《拿破仑·波拿巴大交响曲》，这首曲子是应法国驻维也纳大使的邀请为偶像拿破仑·波拿巴而作，也是为自由而作。当时的英国王子罗伯克洛茨和王妃都十分欣赏贝多芬，允许他免去一切俗世的礼节，指挥皇室乐团一起演奏他的新作。但这首曲子由于节奏激烈、风格迥异而引起了众乐师的异议，尤其遭到了乐队统领兰蒂的讽刺。贝多芬脾气暴躁，大发雷霆，还是坚持自己的意见。乐师们碍于王子和王妃的面子，只得听从贝多芬的指挥，硬着头皮摸索着演奏下去。
但渐渐地，大家从这首交响曲读到了许多不同的东西，对它的看法也有所改观。《拿破仑·波拿巴大交响曲》从内容到形式都富于革新精神，感情奔放，篇幅巨大，和声与节奏新颖自由。贝多芬在曲式结构上作了革新，如用一首庄严的葬礼进行曲作为第二乐章，用一首谐谑曲作为第三乐章，都是前所未有的。在场的每一个人都沉浸在美妙的音乐中，情绪激动，尤其是贝多芬从前的情人德姆伯爵夫人。如今的她已经是四个孩子的母亲，而她的丈夫又刚刚在不久前去世。贝多芬一直深深地爱着她，在这个时刻更希望能够和她结婚。
虽然德姆伯爵夫人也深深地爱着贝多芬，但二人并不能在一起。因为当时的世俗制度是不允许贵族与一个平民结婚的。如果德姆伯爵夫人和贝多芬结婚的话，她不但会被剥夺贵族头衔，还会失去几个孩子。面对这些无法改变的事实，贝多芬十分气愤却无能为力。《拿破仑·波拿巴大交响曲》演奏得十分成功，贝多芬卓越的音乐才能不仅得到了众人的认可，得到了王子罗伯克洛茨和王妃的称赞，此后更得到了著名音乐家海顿的高度评价。
但当时的贝多芬在意的并不是这个，而是德姆伯爵夫人，况且他的耳朵面临着失聪的危险。当贝多芬听到拿破仑称帝的消息时，他愤然撕去标题页，改成了现在众所周知的曲名——《英雄交响曲》。
精彩视点：
本片又名《英雄》，影片的主演伊恩·哈特在接演本片前，曾在很多部家喻户晓的影片中塑造多个经典喜剧角色。而在本片中他主演贝多芬，实现了形象上的大转变。
这部贝多芬传记片大胆地提出一个假想，把他的生平事迹、音乐作品像解谜语一样生动地组合在一起。影片对《英雄交响曲》的处理尤其有创意，那是导演将这段人类最崇高的音乐视觉化的成功尝试。
在技术方面，影片的摄影和布景都非常精致，音乐演奏是索尔蒂爵士指挥的伦敦交响乐团专门为影片录制的，相信一定不会让您失望。
