OK. So we must be a similar age.
Believe it or not they actually used to play re-runs of the Lone Ranger series when TV first came to Australia. (that and a whole lot of shows that wouldn't be shown in this day and age.

)
I did like Noel Neill but also loved Margot Kidder.
There was a more modern Sherlock Holmes that I enjoyed. No idea who the actor was but it was UK made. I loved the detail in the sets.
I love Poirot for the same reason. I could watch Poirot over and over just for the sets.
