Here is the final part of my review of 'The Red on White'.

Again I have actor questions - who play Hope, Drebber and Stangerson?

Hope - Nikolay Karachentsov
Drebber - Adolf Ilyin
Stangerson - Victor Aristov

Dear friend: I enjoy immenselly your review of this magnific Russia-SH serie, and you added photographs too, very good. I love this work, and hope perhaps someday I could see "with my own eyes" in house the whole serie. By now, very few of Sherlockiana is available here in South America (you don't believe me? Well, yet isn't to buy the Rathbone/Bruce serie in DVD, only VHS, neither Brett-serie!!!)
Well, in the meantime i collected all of the great Internet: excerpts, reviews, pics, icons, etc. No matter if i owe wait for so long, you think, i'm 40 years old, and in my childhood aren't video neither DVD, when some film liked me very much, i am obliged to see in cinema again, again and again. Today, i can know the world of
Sherlockiana and chat with wonderful people like you and Dear Alek, then, i can wait a few years to see this one.
Thank you very much for your work with the Livanov serie. I appreciate a lot your effort, and i hope you can
continue in this way.
PS: I can't resist make a question to you: Why are Dr. Watson so upset after the boxing with Holmes in the
beginning of the serie?
PS 2: I seein YouTube (God Blessed) an excerpt of "Baskerville"; magnific, and i agree with you, the Livanov's laugh is adorable, poor good Dr. Watson!

Glad you've enjoyed the review, and yes I will probably continue. In answer to your question about why they are boxing:

Watson is talking with his friend Stamford about Holmes, Stamford tells him that Holmes goes in for boxing and Watson replies he can check that. He thinks that Holmes is a criminal and intends to get the truth, and since he was the regiment champion boxer he decides to get the truth out of Holmes in a boxing match.

When Holmes tells him he is a detective Watson is a bit upset with himself for coming to wrong conclusion.

Livanov's laugh is the best thing created :)
