From emotional and from acting. Jeremy Brett is the closest to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle description.BUT, we must admit that for the choice of the places and time, Sherlock Holmes(2009) win it. But still, Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes in our mind & heart
Wonderful emotional video:) I especially felt a great touch of sadness on that very last shot of Jeremy smiling..... This world lost the very best Sherlock Holmes and a beautiful man.
@gypsycyn Thank you! Yes, couldn't agree more ... even my mother was saying just yesterday, Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes, there is no other Jeremy, and he's not dead he's just looking down.
Wow, this makes me emotional and speechless. Jeremy Brett is the "The Sherlock Holmes" of all-time, and I love it how Holmes helps Watson to recover. And I got shivers when Holmes strikes his hand on Watson's face and cheek, just a lovely and worthy friendship. You did a splendid job, keep it going. :'-)
Thank you! I remember being blown away by the waterfall scene the first time I ever saw it. So it was a joy to make this video, to capture the great friendship between Holmes and Watson. HAPPY NEW YEAR! :-)
@rebeccawilde Thanks, I was also blown away when I saw the waterfall scene and I cried when Holmes wants to call Watson, but he couldn't. You to a happy new year. :-)
I liked the song you used in this from the moment I heard it. I am so finding the MP3 to this. Great video to, I always loved the scene of Sherlock's supposed demise and his triumphant return.
why this oxford suit 4 doesnt sounds like the original? i like alot more the ine u use in your video if you can tell me where u get it it will be great :) thanks
My God. The music is perfect for this, just miraculously well-suited to all of the expressions and emotions in this scene. I love this adaptation, because we get the privilege of seeing Holmes' feelings, whereas in the books we only really know what Watson was thinking and feeling. What fantastic characters, what brilliant actors, and what an impassioned and lovely piece of film this is.
Beautiful and touching video! I watched the Granada series back when I was a teenager, and I immidiately fell in love with Jeremy Brett's performance as Sherlock Holmes. He is THE Holmes for me, and yes, he made me wish I were Holmes' friend in real life too!
I also love Ed Allyne Johnson's music, and I am surprised to see you've used this piece on a Holmes video, because Ed Allyen's violin pieces always make me think of Sherlock Holmes and his world!
Ah, my favorite episode. I think this episode, more then the others, shows nearly all of Holmes different facets in one episode. His humor (the book salesman), his compassion (reviving Watson), his tenderness (hugging Mrs Hudson), his righteous anger (nearly clobbering the bad guy at the end)........should I go on? LOL
Thank you for this very moving fan made music video. It is a wonderful tribute to the TV show in general and to Jeremy Brett in particular. I am sure, had he been alive today, he would have been deeply touched by such fond regards. Videos like these help keep his memory alive.
What beautiful emotions you are describing, and how shared they are by me and probably so many others. And how beautiful, mood- and thought-provoking song you chose. I felt as lifted as I did the first time I discovered that the Reichenbach Falls were not the end after all!
I think these emotions are also provoked by Jeremy Brett's performance. He must have identified with this too.
I am very pleased to know you like this. I saw the video running through my mind as I listened to the music, then I got straight on the computer and set to work. I had made the video within the hour.
Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by more actors in film or television than any other character. Yet, with all due respect to his many predecessors, and his successors, Jeremy Brett remains peerless - the definitive, the epitome of Sherlock Holmes.
I always hated how in the book Sherlock just sort of left without a glance back. Even though he is Holmes and cold and calculating and all, you'd think he'd have some qualms about leaving his best and only friend mourning his death... Which is why I love so much that in this version he almost calls out to Watson but stops himself. It's much more real and heartbreaking that way
That was beautiful. And when I watched the episode where he has supposedly died, I cried, and cried, and cried, for days .It was horrifying. But when I watched the "Empty House", I was so happy I jumped probably 7 feet in the air. It was amazing.
He was about to say, "Watson! I'm alive!" It's so EMOTIONAL. And the look on his face when he's watching Watson, it's so deep. His only friend in the world thinks he's dead, he had no one then to talk to, he's alone. It was so hard for him to do that.
i love how you can see in the cabinet window holmes taking off his disguise ! LOL! :) Oh, i am SO glad that i found these! Thank you to all the SH/JB fans who share all these wonderful videos with us! I love SH to the point where i can quote his lines from the books! I play this game with my siblings where they open one of the books to a random page, read a sentence and have me guess which mystery it is. i always win! :) <3
I look at 4:45, with the music and the smile, and I know without a doubt that Holmes loves Watson with all his heart. Call it friendship love, romantic love, sexual, brotherly, I don't care, but he loves Watson dearly.
Yes I definitely do remember rejoicing at the fact, that our Mr Holmes was back! One of my most favourite episodes, it's just a shame I didn't discover Jeremy's portrayal much sooner :( He will definitely always be the Sherlock Holmes for me, without a doubt. What an amazing actor and an amazing man, I love him so much :) Wonderful video too, it captured all the emotions and beauty of that pivotal moment, thank you :)
I had all this hope in my heart after watching The Final Problem that somehow it wasn't true, and how I contained my excitement when I saw the above, god knows lollage!
Also the Granada TV production of this show was absolutely 'spot on'. From the Victorian scaffolding in the streets, the boys clearing up the horse mess and the costumes it was absolutely superb. The words spoken were exactly as in the books. A fitting production indeed for such a great actor and a wonderful, wonderful man. God bless Jeremy xxxx
Although we an celebrate the return of Holmes, this episode must be the worst of the (excellent) lot. It is all melodrama and lacks completely the severe reasoning of cause and effect that Holmes says are the only worthwhile facets of a case.
I read Sherlock Holmes stories when I was 11 years old. When I thought he was dead I felt sadness as if someone close and really familiar to me died. But when I read "Empty house" I was so happy that he was still alive so I understand and share your feelings :)
@rebeccawilde ...i do remember watching the empty house for the first time and finding out sherlock wasnt dead...Jeremy lives on :-) Jeremy brett should have beeen nighted or something...He rocks
I love this guy. A kick ass Holmes. WAY WAY better and true to the authors original creation. New movie was too chicken to show he used a needle and cocaine. They instead had him as boxing for fun and wagers. Also made him a slob. And not the least bit surly. I hate criticizing other attempts at Holmes. BUt your right Scourtney. Brett spoiled it for everyone after him.
The only problem with Brett's Holmes is that he spoiled me with his performance.:P Now, whenever I watch a Holmes movie with a different actor,there's just something off about it...not that they're bad but just not *the* Holmes.;)
two: what you said about Brett's Holmes is spot-on, and you're not alone. The connection, the feeling of safety/comfort.... to this day that is how I feel about him. One of my greatest regrets is that I discovered him a few years after he left us, and never had the chance to tell him how much he meant to fans like me.
Most people don't realize the true strength of Holmes isn't just his skills and abilities, it's the fact that he's a deeply flawed character. Those are the best heroes in mythology, film and literature
@ChronicFallacy Precisely. Perfect and too good or characters are uninteresting and boring. The greatest characters of literature are those who are not simply black and white, good or evil. The greatest characters are the grey ones. When one reads Les Miserables, the character of Javert marks, or Dostoidesvki characters.
It is quite possible. Bi-polar people can find many ways to self-medicate before the diagnois and tobacco was his. He had a marvelous talent. He was big in Great Britain but he should have been huge all over the world even before Holmes. Someone said that if he had lived he would have made a wonderful villain. Think of Jeremy performing the ultimate hat trick and appearing as Moriarty! He was Watson in stage in the late '70s.
The brilliant, the never to be forgotten Jeremy Brett. I cannot watch Sherlock Holmes if he is not playing the part. I well remember the outcry when he was chosen to play the part. Most people did not like that idea at all, Said he was too dramatic as Holmes. But, he outshone every other actor who has ever played Holmes. The series was beautiufl, outstanding, and took me back to those dark Victorian days. The costumes, the scenery,the acting, and of course, Brett. How I miss him.
Are you saying the public didn't like the idea that Jeremy Brett would act as Sherlock Holmes? I, for my, would say there are not much actors (other people either) who has such amazing charism that is typical for Sherlock Holmes too.
Yes, that is correct. There was something of a public outcry in the papers when it was revealed that Brett would be playing the part of Holmes in a new period drama series. For my mind, this was nothing short of artistic snobbery. Brett went on - in my mind - give the greatest portrayel yet of Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes.
that's true!!! :) I did add it earlier to some tribute but it would be fantastic if Jeremy Brett would be able to come back from the death like Sherlock Holmes seems to have done. Actually fate could be so weird. Jeremy Brett acts the death and raise from Sherlock Holmes and not long after that, he himself dies. Why?!
Never again will we see his like on our screens. We can only but enjoy his performance and these outstanding episodes.. I think Brett died of cancer, although I am not sure of that, but I am almost certain he did.
Great! jeremy brett is absolutely fabulous when he's about to shout "WATS...!!" and interrupts because he thinks of the consequences. Look at his eyes and expression at the moment, when he realizes he has to vanish and can't tell his best friend. What an actor!
Haha, I started laughing at Brett's gesture for a hug from Watson with that little smirk of a smile on his face. It only grew louder when Watson fainted.
can anybody please tell me whats the episode called where a man i think with a wooden leg takes out an air rifle from his wooden leg and assembles it and shoot's a doll that is moving by the window if Holmes house and then Holmes comes and put's the bullet out of the doll ? sorry for the bad English
I have seen them all..and Brett is without a DOUBT the best. I miss him..but these episodes are priceless to have here. I have my JB SH fund for the collections ready to go..For those that have any doubts, fear not, you are seeing the BEST ever protrayal of SH.
to anybody under 40, JB is the only Holmes alot of us knew.....growin up i thought this dude is so fkin cool..........i often wondered if being that damn cool was even legal. The JB version of holmes made me take up the psudeyonym Sherlock Homeboy.!!!
re:sign of four mistakes...i was watching it last week but at the time of boat scene..i had to leave home so missed it...they telecatsed it again but at 1 am...hope to catch sign of four soon...
I agree with u rebecca the acting was too amazing...i mean jeremy makes me feel like if there was a sherlock holmes...it was him....so unique and doing justicce holmes...harwicke also was a cool actor...was meant to be dr watson...
How come at 1:21 Brett's hairs are all loose and coming on his forehead and after a brawl with Moriarty and finishing him off...at 2:30 is hairs are back at their usually position...gelled together so decently!Director should hace noticed it coz as a Sherlock Holmes fan it is degrading for Holmes that his fans dont use their science of deduction!!
rebecca i need to say that the feelings you described in the commentary are exactly like my own ! when i was far younger i was gripped as i watched the previous episode as he fell into the waterfall - his acting even back then left an impression upon me. he truly brought holmes to life in a way that amazes me. he was a gifted man who i identify with and he has inspired me in strange ways - as though i wish to make more of my own self.
thank you for your videos - they're wonderful ! :)
Rebecca your Brett page is AWESOME! I bought both part 4 and part 1 suites as I my ear was not good enough to tell the difference! They sound so similar! What is your story do you live in the UK ? How'd you get to be such a fan of Brett ? You can PM me if you want. New to this site so I don't know how it works. Thanks for the wonderful videos!!!!
I remeber watching this as a little girl and I cryed my heart out just as I did when my Grandfarther read me the book's, this was alway's my most loved episode of Sherlock Homles. I had only recently discovered that Mr Brett suffered with MD. My best friend has MD as do I so I can undertsand a little why his portrail of Homles was so intesne and captivateing, as an actor you use what you have to hand and Holmes sudden mood swing's are chartristic of MD in some way's.
This is such a sweet tune and awesone scene. Me and my mates play this tune and watch a slide show of our camping pictures when weve had a few beers. it's so fitting. lovely music. he was great as Sherlock Holmes. MD or not.
I love the bit near the end where he says he didn't call out to protect Watson etc, but in the next breath he says that one of the henchmen spots him alive.
Class quote from him,"I took to my heels and covered 10 miles" 10 miles!!! did anyone see his shoes! Winkle pickers, he covered 10 miles in winkle pickers! Jesus Christ what a guy this Sherlock Holmes is! Awesome, where would you get it. I'm going to get a pair of them winkle pickers and take up cross country running :)
Agreed. Though sometimes dangers can be overlooked. It is when we become blind to the obvious threats to our own consious thoughts, and more importantly our subconcious nightmares, is when we should stand at attention.
next week when we watched another episode the next week it was the center of gossip insead of the usual "whos going out w/ who" crap. Jeremy brought soem sense into our school! lol This video is just pure and utter genius. thank you so much for it
what a fabulous video ^.^ this is one of my favorite episodes. i love watson's fainting scene, and the violin is quite beautiful. my favorite scene from this episode i think was when sherlock said. "but you have a kinder heart." fabulous ^.^
BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT !!! I love the Empty House and that fantastic fainting scene!! Got this bookmarked on my ipod touch!!! Music (clever to do this with volins !!)and narration both fitting and well timed ! Bravo !
I am pleased to say that you are the reason for me creating an acount on youtube. I would like to say how much I enjoy your videos. The blurb you wrote about our dear Jeremy was excatly how I feel. Wonderful. Thank you agian. You'll be seeing me comment on most of your videos.
It's amazing - what you said expresses exactly my feelings about Jeremy and Sherlock (love them both since childhood) and about identifying with someone (not as a fan, but in a subtler way), finding encouragement in them; I am a biographer and spend most of my time with people who lived more than 200 years ago: they've helped through and taught me so much, just as if they were here with me now! Feel free to have a look at my vids if you please, and compliments again for this one!!! Great!
My book of head-board is the Canon and entertains me discover the differences between the series of Granada Television and Conan Doyle wrote. Wonderful music, I listen it often... now I will do it remembering your video. Thank you ;)
A beauty of a video! Ha, yes, I remember the first time I read EMPT. Unfortunately for me, I was introduced to Mr. Holmes, watched him die (or so I thought) and come back to life in the span of a week. I was an emotional mess! Blame my Literature of Mystery and Horror Class. -chuckle-
I swear that every time I watch this scene I get all teary (or just flat out burst into tears). Jeremy's just so... well, brilliant. He's got so much intensity, so much emotion. A spectacular video. <3
Thank you so much for your comments. Jeremy was said to be so far removed from Sherlock Holmes in reality. Unlike Sherlock the real man was said to form strong emotional bonds to people he loved, and was of a deeply sensitive nature and cried easily. In this episode unlike any other he got to be more himself and made Sherlock more appealing/human in the process - showing his love for Watson. I like to see the underbelly of people, fictional and real. :)
From emotional and from acting. Jeremy Brett is the closest to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle description.BUT, we must admit that for the choice of the places and time, Sherlock Holmes(2009) win it. But still, Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes in our mind & heart

Most people don't realize the true strength of Holmes isn't just his skills and abilities, it's the fact that he's a deeply flawed character. Those are the best heroes in mythology, film and literature

@ChronicFallacy Precisely. Perfect and too good or characters are uninteresting and boring. The greatest characters of literature are those who are not simply black and white, good or evil. The greatest characters are the grey ones. When one reads Les Miserables, the character of Javert marks, or Dostoidesvki characters.

Jeremy Brett is a great actor.He is the best Sherlock Holmes and the film is very good.
MultiGagman 2 years ago 3
It is quite possible. Bi-polar people can find many ways to self-medicate before the diagnois and tobacco was his. He had a marvelous talent. He was big in Great Britain but he should have been huge all over the world even before Holmes. Someone said that if he had lived he would have made a wonderful villain. Think of Jeremy performing the ultimate hat trick and appearing as Moriarty! He was Watson in stage in the late '70s.

Unforgettable Jeremy "Sherlock" Brett ♥♥♥

The brilliant, the never to be forgotten Jeremy Brett. I cannot watch Sherlock Holmes if he is not playing the part. I well remember the outcry when he was chosen to play the part. Most people did not like that idea at all, Said he was too dramatic as Holmes. But, he outshone every other actor who has ever played Holmes. The series was beautiufl, outstanding, and took me back to those dark Victorian days. The costumes, the scenery,the acting, and of course, Brett. How I miss him.

Are you saying the public didn't like the idea that Jeremy Brett would act as Sherlock Holmes? I, for my, would say there are not much actors (other people either) who has such amazing charism that is typical for Sherlock Holmes too.
yamifannetje 2 years ago
Yes, that is correct. There was something of a public outcry in the papers when it was revealed that Brett would be playing the part of Holmes in a new period drama series. For my mind, this was nothing short of artistic snobbery. Brett went on - in my mind - give the greatest portrayel yet of Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes.
theglitterband 2 years ago 3
that's true!!! :) I did add it earlier to some tribute but it would be fantastic if Jeremy Brett would be able to come back from the death like Sherlock Holmes seems to have done. Actually fate could be so weird. Jeremy Brett acts the death and raise from Sherlock Holmes and not long after that, he himself dies. Why?!
yamifannetje 2 years ago
Never again will we see his like on our screens. We can only but enjoy his performance and these outstanding episodes.. I think Brett died of cancer, although I am not sure of that, but I am almost certain he did.

Great! jeremy brett is absolutely fabulous when he's about to shout "WATS...!!" and interrupts because he thinks of the consequences. Look at his eyes and expression at the moment, when he realizes he has to vanish and can't tell his best friend. What an actor!

How come at 1:21 Brett's hairs are all loose and coming on his forehead and after a brawl with Moriarty and finishing him off...at 2:30 is hairs are back at their usually position...gelled together so decently!Director should hace noticed it coz as a Sherlock Holmes fan it is degrading for Holmes that his fans dont use their science of deduction!!

rebecca i need to say that the feelings you described in the commentary are exactly like my own ! when i was far younger i was gripped as i watched the previous episode as he fell into the waterfall - his acting even back then left an impression upon me. he truly brought holmes to life in a way that amazes me. he was a gifted man who i identify with and he has inspired me in strange ways - as though i wish to make more of my own self.
thank you for your videos - they're wonderful ! :)

I remeber watching this as a little girl and I cryed my heart out just as I did when my Grandfarther read me the book's, this was alway's my most loved episode of Sherlock Homles. I had only recently discovered that Mr Brett suffered with MD. My best friend has MD as do I so I can undertsand a little why his portrail of Homles was so intesne and captivateing, as an actor you use what you have to hand and Holmes sudden mood swing's are chartristic of MD in some way's.
well done :D

I love the bit near the end where he says he didn't call out to protect Watson etc, but in the next breath he says that one of the henchmen spots him alive.
Class quote from him,"I took to my heels and covered 10 miles" 10 miles!!! did anyone see his shoes! Winkle pickers, he covered 10 miles in winkle pickers! Jesus Christ what a guy this Sherlock Holmes is! Awesome, where would you get it. I'm going to get a pair of them winkle pickers and take up cross country running :)

I'm sure actoring was a good outlet for him in someways, though it appeared to have it's dangers at times as well.
EscapeToMyDreams 3 years ago 8
Agreed. Though sometimes dangers can be overlooked. It is when we become blind to the obvious threats to our own consious thoughts, and more importantly our subconcious nightmares, is when we should stand at attention.

It's amazing - what you said expresses exactly my feelings about Jeremy and Sherlock (love them both since childhood) and about identifying with someone (not as a fan, but in a subtler way), finding encouragement in them; I am a biographer and spend most of my time with people who lived more than 200 years ago: they've helped through and taught me so much, just as if they were here with me now! Feel free to have a look at my vids if you please, and compliments again for this one!!! Great!

A beauty of a video! Ha, yes, I remember the first time I read EMPT. Unfortunately for me, I was introduced to Mr. Holmes, watched him die (or so I thought) and come back to life in the span of a week. I was an emotional mess! Blame my Literature of Mystery and Horror Class. -chuckle-
I swear that every time I watch this scene I get all teary (or just flat out burst into tears). Jeremy's just so... well, brilliant. He's got so much intensity, so much emotion. A spectacular video. <3
TheSleepingSage 3 years ago
Thank you so much for your comments. Jeremy was said to be so far removed from Sherlock Holmes in reality. Unlike Sherlock the real man was said to form strong emotional bonds to people he loved, and was of a deeply sensitive nature and cried easily. In this episode unlike any other he got to be more himself and made Sherlock more appealing/human in the process - showing his love for Watson. I like to see the underbelly of people, fictional and real. :)
