[[File:kaleidoscope-2023-conan-doyle-mystery-and-adventure.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Inside the lost 1967 BBC TV series 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle', by [[Mark Jones]].<br />[https://www.tvbrain.info/shop/books/conan-doyle-mystery-and-adventure Order the book].]]

''"Sir Arthur Conan Doyle"'' was a BBC TV series of 13 episodes based on non-sherlockian short stories written by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]. The TV series was also known under the title ''"The Short Stories of Conan Doyle"'' or ''"Conan Doyle"''.

The 50-minutes episodes were written by [[John Hawkesworth]] (the future writer of the [[Jeremy Brett]] series between 1984-1994 for Granada TV).

The episodes varied from horror, medical to boxing stories. A connecting thread ran through the series in the form of three university students around whom each of the stories was centered : Philip Hardacre <ref>Character from [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s short story : [[The Story of the Brown Hand]] (1899).</ref> ([[Michael Latimer]]), Tom Crabbe <ref>Character from [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s short story : [[Crabbe's Practice]] (1884).</ref> ([[Keith Buckley]]) and Monkhouse Lee <ref>Character from [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s short story : [[Lot No. 249]] (1892).</ref> ([[Christopher Matthews]]).

Series producer was Harry Moore, the concept being created by [[John Hawkesworth]].
