The Norwood Builder - Part 5 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

[gypsycyn]

Totally agree!

[sparrowa02]

I really enjoyed Colin Jeavons' performance as Lestrade in this episode. He has such a good combination of confidence, with a little bit of swagger, coupled with a genuine decency and a true respect for Holmes. I think he's easily the best Lestrade in any of these episodes.

5:32 The expressions are priceless!

[MrJonnyPepper]

Maybe I’m being to nerdy, but that doesn’t look like shark tooth.

[HanoverianHorse]

I love the 'Sherlock's off snooping' music at about 1:50... the pizz lower strings and off the string upper is soooo atmospheric!

Thanks for posting :)

[TheWonderfulWombat]

Awww, Lestrade is so cute. I just wanna pinch his little cheeks. 

[Kooshmeister3]

Also love Lestrade's reaction to Oldacre's sudden reappearance. First surprise... and then boy is he pissed! He looks like he's gonna shoot lasers out of his eyes into Oldacre for wasting his time!

[Kooshmeister3]

The lack of anything upstairs was kind of creepy, not sure why.

[MrsSherlcokHolmes]

"We can do better than that!"

[sparrowa02]

@MrsSherlcokHolmes That is my favourite line of this whole episode :)

[MrsSherlcokHolmes]

1.27 -1.29 was priceless

[cryptix23]

N'awww, poor Lestrade. So sure he has this one in the bag, and then Holmes produces the 'murdered man' out of the wall in a puff of smoke. xD And he looks so precious with his brown top-hat and smug little grin.

[Mimi2591]

7:00 The infamous smirk of Sherlock Holmes! He is sooooo dreamy!

[GrigolConservative]

0:44 - 0:50 is just so brilliant!

[Andreus]

It took a damn long time for that constable to get that straw fire put out.

[Songsmirth]

I don't like the beaten look of Holmes in this. If I remember it correctly, didn't Holmes have a whole library of finger prints?

[undeadgods]

Watson reminds me of Ron Burgundy.

@19996669991

really? i thought in the story it was undetermined while Holmes asked if maybe it was rabbits or something but the guy wouldn't tell him

[LadyTarasque]

I love the part where the secret door opens and Lestrade and Watson lean into view with a o.O look

and i love how the cops were just like.. fire. the first time :P

[tintilin1c]

"I have an excellent reason for everything that I do"

my life moto ;-)))

[obiwanobiwan13]

"FIRE! We can do better than THAT... full voice, altogether...'

FFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRR­REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[TheSleepingSage]

*scrolls through comments and whistles* Wow, no love for Lestrade at all, guys? Well, hopefully you'll change your tune by the time you watch The Six Napoleons. ;P

*sits thoughtfully for a moment... yells*

FIRE!! 8D

[ultraviolet128]

"I have heard something of the kind" - lol knowing holmes he has probably written "a small monograph" on the subject!!

[Imverycute2]

Every time Lestrade opens his mouth I want to hit him.

Holmes's shout of "Fire!" rocked!

[CosplayingCassie]

You know a series is good when you scream 'The wax seal on the envelope!!' at your computer screen.

[SnowhitePP333]

I hoped for another magnificient "nevertheless" of Holmes, after Lestrade said "there is nothing up there, though". None this time, pity.. :-))

[sitithesecond]

golly, those Victorians did have gloomy interiors - that wallpaper!

[Chakotaysmack]

spammer check out u r stupid. seriously!

[Banminator]

Lestrade should be quiet and look at his shoes whenever Holmes is around, he'd embarass himself less.

[jimmbo13]

Yes but we enjoy him because he does act the fool so well

[theboombody]

I just read this story not too long ago. I love how Holmes always looks like a total madman until some result is achieved. And I also love how Holmes never takes a case unless they're something unusual about it.

[TheKulu42]

Doyle freely admitted that he didn't worry too much about details when creating a good story. I think this tale's adaptors realized that Holmes, with his background in forensics of that day, wouldn't be fooled by animals bones. And by the amount of smoke we saw, shouting 'Fire!' was hardly necessary. Holmes literally smoked out the evil rascal!

[girlfromthedwarf]

Lestrade's face @ 5.46!! Brilliant lol

[kumartc]

superhit

[ShawDAMAN]

I like Brett's little fake defeated laugh at 1:28 ;-D I just they'd showed the revelation in his mind at seeing the thumbprint a bit more clearly. :D In the book Watson noticed something in the way he said "yes it is final." Holmes did want to string Lestrade along a bit to get back at him for being so cocky :P One of the best conclusions to any of the Holmes stories.

[Theta101]

"Oh we can do better than that."

The Yarders are absolutely hopeless.

I like Watson's look of, 'Just do what Holmes says. It's easier that way.'

[theboombody]

Ha ha. You're right, even when he says, "Put a match to that straw." Ha ha.

[RenGrayson]

Here's what Holmes says in the short story (although, wouldn't the difference between charred rabbit/animal remains be very different to those of a human?)

"By the way, what was it you put into the woodpile besides your old trousers? A dead dog, or rabbits, or what? You won't tell? Dear me, how very unkind of you! Well, well, I daresay that a couple of rabbits would account both for the blood and for the charred ashes. If ever you write an account, Watson, you can make rabbits serve your turn."

[jlim2397]

Yeah, but thet screwed up the thumbprint bit....using the sealing wax directly would result in a mirror image

[Mosflow]

but you can make an artifical fingerprint. I've seen them do it in CSI

[jlim2397]

In the original story, the builder does indeed make a wax impression from the seal, thus making a false fingerprint. However, in this program he simply presses the sealing wax to the wall, which obviously would result in a mirror image.

[Southenisland]

"Oh we can do better then that."

I'm going to use that phrase to my students XD~

[MrsWilliamTheBloody]

Oh, Jeremy Brett! You were so cool..
