Best Answer

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.
