The Three Garridebs is a 1937 television presentation that aired on NBC, based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1924 story "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs". Louis Hector played Sherlock Holmes, the first actor to do so on television.

Production

In 1937, NBC received permission from Conan Doyle's widow, Lady Jean Conan Doyle, to produce a live adaptation of Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs". NBC television director Thomas H. Hutchinson began scripting the teleplay, which was so faithful, with much dialogue nearly verbatim, that it was published three years later in a textbook on broadcast production. It is considered the first known television pilot.

Hector, cast as Sherlock Holmes, had previously portrayed Holmes in an American radio series from 1934 to 1935. He had also played Holmes' arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty on the series.

Outside of an opening scene using previously filmed footage of the London skyline, the bulk of the action took place on studio sets of 221B Baker Street and the home of Holmes' client Nathan Garrideb. Only three sets were built: 221B Baker Street, Nathan Garrideb's home and Inspector Lestrade's office. Previously filmed footage of Hector and Podmore riding in a hansom cab was used to link the action on the sets.
