Photo by The Sherlock Holmes Museum of Baker Street
Livanov acted Holmes in nine television films made in 1979-1986 by Igor Maslennikov on the base of the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. Livanov is widely admitted as the best Sherlock Holmes that ever appeared on screen. His photo is the biggest of those of all actors who ever played Holmes in the movies hanging in Sherlock Holmes museum in London.

Rusrick, I am not seen BBC series, but IMHO Russian version is pretty good. =)
Words "Best Sherlock Holmes that ever appeared on screen" was said by Tony Brenton (British ambassador to Russia) in his interview to Radio Liberty.
And don't remember about Queen's decision to grant Boris Livanov the Order of the British Empire for acting Sherlock Holmes. ;)
