Best Answer

David Burke left the Sherlock Holmes series due to creative differences with the production team. He reportedly disagreed with the direction the show was taking and the portrayal of his character, Dr. John Watson. Additionally, Burke wanted to pursue other acting opportunities and felt it was time to move on from the role.

Oh, dude, David Burke left the Sherlock Holmes series because he wanted to pursue other acting opportunities. It's like when you decide to switch up your go-to Pizza topping because you're just tired of pepperoni, you know? So, he was like, "Peace out, Sherlock, I'm off to explore new roles."

Burke left Granada's series of Sherlock Holmes stories between The Final Problem and The Empty House because he felt the show was causing him to spend too much time away from his family. He was replaced with Edward Hardwicke, who carried out the character of Watson until the very end, even portraying him again with Jeremy Brett (Holmes) onstage.

What colour were Sherlock Holmes' eyes according to Conan Doyle?

Sherlock Holmes' hair is raven black. This is its color in most physical appearances throughout the years, including all drawings (the traditional sketches being by Sidney Paget) and television shows such as Granada's version of the stories (starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes and David Burke/Edward Hardwicke as Watson). Only in the animated series called Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century was it a different color; that was blonde.
