The Bruce Partington Plans - Part 2 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

[brennalarosa]

Y'know, I think they may have chosen the actor for Mycroft by how much he and Jeremy Brett resemble each other. When they face each other, the profiles are quite similar.

[iwousa]

I think this is one of the best in the series. Brett is just pure HOLMES !!!

[QueenDeaconite]

"He has the tidiest and most orderly mind of any man living"

"Dr er...?"

XD

[DharmaRanga]

The actor playing Mycroft sounds a lot like Winston Churchill.

[thefinalflower]

Ah! This was incorporated into the BBC's Sherlock! The Blind Banker episode, I believe.

[LukasVonBamberg]

"Mrs. Hudson! I'm leaving!" :D

[shirahbe]

maybe it's crazy , but I totally can see Mr Brett playing Sneep in the HP movies.

[peri2502]

"Are you not the undertakers?" Best line I ever heard ina Sherlock Holmes film :)

[maddyreid18]

@xxdrosexx Gracias amigo:)

[kitsmits]

Wow - Seeing the two Holmes actors' profiles, they really DO look related!

[maddyreid18]

Okay, has anyone else noticed the VERY OBVIOUS age difference between Sherlock Holmes and his brother, Mycroft? How old is Holmes? How much older is his brother? Oh, of all the wretched days to have left my Sherlock Holmes books in my uncle's house! Damn you, short memory! Damn you!

[xxdrosexx]

@maddyreid18

8 years :)

[ludicrouslouisa]

@maddyreid18 I think he's only a couple of years older than Sherlock, so yeah, with this adaptation I think they went more for actors they thought would be good in the role rather than accurate ages. Holmes is verging on too old (I can't remember the timeline but he'd probably be in his mid 30s at this stage in the books), Watson is definitely too old (he's the same age as Holmes and when they meet they're around 20) and Mycroft is WAY too old. But the actors are awesome, so I don't care much

[2206411411]

@ludicrouslouisa Watson almost has to be a bit older than that. He'd served as an army doctor for long enough that he had acquired a meagre but servicable pension. He'd also studied enough medicine to run his own local practice. Sherlock had been a detective for a while prior to Study in Scarlet and makes reference in other stories to a fair number of prior cases (both successful and unsuccessful). If we go by backstory, then, rather than stated age, I'd add 5-10 years to the given ages.

[GondorLadyGwen]

@maddyreid18 Holmes and Mycroft are supposed to be seven years apart, with Holmes being middle-aged. The actor playing Mycroft is far to old, but also brilliant in the role.

[AlexanderKrenin]

-"Are you not the undertakers?

---> Holmes VERY UPSET "I JUST LIKE BLACK" GRUMBLE FACE

Me lovey <3

[habbo3hampster]

im guessing this is the story that the recent sherlock episode the great game is based on

[RobinsArrow]

"I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey..."

thats what I hear in my head whenever i see Mycroft.

[121Swaleskid]

CAB!!!!!!!!!

[Sehaw]

lol The DO look like the undertakers!

[ChiaraMichela]

@Sehaw ahhahhahahah...Holmes's reaction is speechless... lol

[qaj321]

Sherlock is my favorite, but Mycroft is a very close second. Thanks for loading this series.

[Imverycute2]

Mistaken for the undertakers again? Holmes, you really need to stop wearing those black suits.

[Raeyven76]

The second time Holmes and Watson have been mistaken for the undertakers come to remove a body ^^

[notAbba]

"Are you not from the undertakers?" LOL

[illbetilbake]

Haha! I dare suggest the hypothesis that the guy was a part-time gass man, who was killed somewhere in Hammersmith by either a series of punches or a hit on the head with a frying pan, and then stuck on the roof.

[ayellowbeanofdeath]

@illbetilbake ha ha excellent use of bottom! i think thats my fave episode

[illbetilbake]

I couldn't help it:)

[yrti0121]

OMG Pause at 2:00 they have EXACTLY the same profile. BRILLIANT CASTING!

[Chakotaysmack]

@yrti0121 you are right.

[c4xpert]

Mr. C.A. Milverton had also the faux bookcase door in his home study. I wonder if this was a common design or set recycling?

[Malachy69]

I love the way he sort of sings, 'Watson!,' and 'Mrs Hudson.' Holmes is a legend!

[quietnature]

I do so very much love Sherlock Holmes Adventures...and LOVE LOVE Jeremy Brett! His ability to protray SH is remarkable...JUST as David Suchet plays Hercule Poirot!! :::SIGH::: I am so awed by both! Thank you so much for sharing these vids.

[PratikShukla82]

Me too! Love them both...

Go Brett! .. Go Suchet!!

[74powers]

8.39 i love that library door with the attached books love it

[dorosatt]

Your eye has been fooled. The "books" and "shelves" aren't real -- they're painted on the door. It's a form of painting known as "trompe l'oeil" (fool the eye). You can see a modern example at Wakefield(dot)biz/library(dot)­html.

[MakotoShishio5]

sorry but you mean "your eyes have been fooled"

sorry ^ ^

[dorosatt]

Well, no, I meant exactly what I said, actually.  A trompe l'oeil painting is, in idiomatic English, a painting that fools the eye.

[MakotoShishio5]

i know but you said "your eyes has been fooled" does not make sense

it should say "your eyes have been fooled"

have

[dorosatt]

This is getting a bit silly. Please read the comment again. It says, "Your eye has been fooled."

[MakotoShishio5]

HA! that it has a thousand apologize truly

[dorosatt]

No problem.

[MakotoShishio5]

im sorry but plz do you have any riddles no one has any more for me

[ShawDAMAN]

I wonder why they switched Lestrade to "Bradstreet" for this adaptation.

[baptistfaith]

I don't like Brett as much as I do Rathbone.

He will never be Holmes.He has an attitude

problem.

[Sindh109]

Sorry I accedently clicked at "nothing special" in the. remarks

[MyJk552]

The guy talking at 1:31 dunno his name but he has a great voice... Who is he?

[EdEditz]

He is Denis Lill as Insp. Bradstreet. He also played in an episode of Hercule Poirot.

Look him up on the IMDB. He has quite the track record as an actor.

[REEKFEEL]

you can see the mic boom at 7.28... in the door window

[AsianFlavour2008]

Fabulous
