SUPERSLEUTH Sherlock Holmes is about to take over our screens.<br />
<br />
Ha will appear at every age from 16 onwards, in every kind of adventure from a childish romp to an international political mystery.<br />
<br />
The reason? The work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the great detective, comes out of copyright next year, and a free-for- all is expected.<br />
<br />
Granada TV are among the first in the field. Their nine-part series, Young Sherlock starts early next year.<br />
<br />
<br />
DOG<br />
<br />
It is set in a Northern country district when young Sherlock returns home from boarding school term, hoping to see his financier father and scholarly mother.<br />
<br />
Instead, he is driven from the door by a man with a dog, Granada's second series based on the Conan Doyle stories, will be made later in the year.<br />
<br />
Already speculation is running high as to who will get the plum role of Holmes in the adult version.<br />
<br />
The BBC have already made up their mind, as The Sun's World Of Telly told you two months ago.<br />
<br />
They have signed Dr Who star Tom Baker as Holmes for the story The Hound Of The Baskervilles.<br />
