Quite honestly, I couldn't watch "I, Claudius" a second time. It's one of those "Glad I saw it once but never again" viewings for me. It's true to its source materials, as I recall, which is part of the problem.
The "Brideshead Revisited" movie was an interesting interpretation of the original, but yeah, not very memorable. I've seen the TV series three times and would gladly watch it again.
Re Holmes and Wimsey: I always go on the assumption that no film/TV adaptation will be as good as the book; then I'm pleasantly surprised when a select few are. They're never like what I imagine in my head, though.
