I think they mostly used Doyle's dialogue, yes. However, I'm pretty sure they mixed it around some. I can't remember specific incidences, but I'm almost positive that some things said by Holmes in the books were said by Watson in Granada, or Lestrade, and a few vice versa as well. Granada did a few odd things in places, and tended to put characters into stories they weren't in originally (Mycroft showed up in some random places, from what I remember, and I think Lestrade replaced Gregson a time or two as well).

None of which really matters to me, because Granada!Holmes is basically awesome, and Colin Jeavons as Lestrade is adorable.

In some of the later series/seasons, Brett was ill, so they worked around him.

I think it was either Adventures or Memoirs when they started drifting. They still didn't drift as far as BBC!Sherlock did, though. But I see BBC!Sherlock as a pastiche, NOT an adaptation, whereas Granada Holmes was a pretty faithful adaptation.

Yeah, Granada really was trying to follow canon, and did okay for awhile.

Ah, I didn't know they diddled around with it that much.

Bottom line, though Brett was just ... perfection, to me, and Gayle Hunnicutt actually made the idea of The Woman entirely plausible.

Until the last seasons,they didn't. They needed to give Watson more dialogue and 'show' where ACD 'told', but you can happily sit with a copy of the story on your lap for most earlier Granada eps and watch the direct quotations roll.

Granada is a thing of beauty and Jeremy Brett is its jewelled centre.
