A Study in Scarlet (STUD) is the first Sherlock Holmes novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Beeton's Christmas Annual in 1887. This is the 1st Sherlock Holmes story.
Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the story in six weeks between March and April 1886. When writing the story, the working title was A Tangled Skein and he named the detective Sherrinford Holmes (not Sherringford as he wrongly mentioned in his auto-biography Memories and Adventures 40 years later) and the biographer Ormond Sacker. But he changed the names at the end by Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson.
The second part of the novel was adapted for stage as Angels of Darkness (3 acts) by Conan Doyle in 1888.

The Sherlock co-creator on why he enjoyed adapting Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective stories for television.
Sherlock Holmes is the overall title given to the series of Sherlock Holmes adaptations produced by the British television company Granada Television between 1984 and 1994. The first two series were shown under the title The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and were followed by subsequent series with the titles of other short story collections by Arthur Conan Doyle. The series was broadcast on the ITV network in the UK and starred Jeremy Brett (who had earlier portrayed Dr Watson on stage in the Los Angeles production of The Crucifer of Blood[1] ) as the famous detective. His portrayal remains very popular and is accepted by many as the definitive on-screen version of Sherlock Holmes.[2][3][4]
In addition, Holmes's faithful friend and companion Dr. Watson is portrayed as the kind of thoroughly competent sidekick that Holmes would want. Initially, Watson was portrayed by David Burke (who had earlier played the villain in an adaptation of "The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet" for the 1965 BBC series[5] starring Douglas Wilmer and Nigel Stock). Burke appeared in the first year of the Adventures series before leaving to join the Royal Shakespeare Company.[6][7] He was replaced by Edward Hardwicke, (who had earlier had a role in an adaptation of "The Greek Interpreter" for the 1968 BBC series[8]) who played Watson for the remainder of the run.[7]
Of the 60 Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 42 were adapted in the series spanning 36 one-hour episodes and five feature-length specials. (Episode 40 incorporates the plot lines of both "The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone" and "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs".)
