He sounds like Alan Rickman.

I Love this Show, Best Sherlock Holmes in my Opinion.

[EvilNerdProductions]

Oh god this is just so excellent. I've always been a Big Holmes fan, but have never gotten around to watching this version. It just so good. Its especially funny to watch because you can tell what scenes inspired the writers for the BBC Holmes. Praise Gatiss & Moffat, and all other writers who made fantastic adaptions.

Most of all praise Arthur Conan Doyle!

[drowninginthoughts]

SPOILER ALERT!!!: old, but realyrealyrealy great. love it <3

[ireneadlerbeautiful]

I really loved it when Holmes didn't shake King's hand in the end of the episode. I believe it was a payback. The King made Watson feel humiliated not wishing to shake his hand in the beginning of the story. I thought it was sort of sweet of Holmes.

[marvellousem1982]

@Exayevie That's just how I feel! One minute I cannot believe how he's doing it so wrong (to my mind) but then two minutes later I can't believe how perfect he is!!

[baharehut]

12:50 such a drama king!

[Kassie0ate0a0cow]

I feel as though Jeremy Brett definitely portrays the Sherlock Holmes I see whilst I read the novels the best, although benedict Cumberbatch plays the fantastic version of Sherlock I imagine in a modernised version which in itself is its own adaptation. Just have to remember that the modernised character will always be slightly different to any set in the 1890's.

[sarahbpen]

I remember watching some of the series when I was like six or seven, I'm fifteenth now and I still love good old granada :D

[nirbhay121]

Agatha Christy was Sherlock's niece.

[Exayevie]

This is my first experience with Jeremy Brett's Holmes. For the life of me, I can't decide how I feel. One second I'll be arguing with my computer screen, "No! You don't get it at all! That isn't what that line means, that isn't Sherlock Holmes!"

And the very next thing he says will make me think "You're perfect."

[MoonPhantom]

... why didn't this show adapt "A study in scarlett."  ?

I mean.. this is a show that really went out of it's way to be as true to the books as humanly possible, made just about.. every single Sherlock story Conan Doyle wrote in an episode, didn't ever deviate. And I really do like this show.

So what the hey? Why's the origin story missing?

[Gojirafan101]

@MoonPhantom I think it is because they were adapting the short stories and not the full books. the people making the show wanted it to be faithul as possible but if they adapted the full stories would required removing things to fit the lenght of an average episode.

[Thikron]

@Gojirafan101 They did, however, make feature-length versions of 'The Sign of the Four' and 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'.

[valmeriza]

I love how the music for all Sherlock Holmes is essentially the same. So beautiful.

[Alainainthesky]

"Ohhh, Holmes."

[itsmetan001]

I see after seeing this i can tell Benedict Cumberbatch is more Charming than Jeremy Brett :D

[jayanta169]

many many thanks to the uploader for this,,, i really love holmes but this episode could not reach my expectations anywho was nice watching.....

[afanHulahoop]

At 4:22 why does Dr Watson look first shocked and then annoyed at Sherlock Holmes for having the window open ?

[JamesThompson1011]

@afanHulahoop

Because it's rainy and foggy out, and he's letting in the damp.

[extraleague01]

Interesting, this excellent and most faithful adaptation of Sherlock Holmes stories starts with Scandal in Bohemia, instead of Study in Scarlet? And this show actually never adapted Study in Scarlet!! I wonder why the producers skipped on the first story.

[ghostfanX2]

@extraleague01

I always thought the reason they didn't try for Scarlet is because the actors were older... I mean they were both around 50 when Granada started filming, and even stretching a point, they would be a bit old to be just returning from a war. or starting a career as a detective, and needing to save money by sharing a flat. That's more something you do straight out of high school, or college - at most 25 or 30. Brett & Burke might be able to play 50 passing for 30, but not 20.

[extraleague01]

@ghostfanX2

Well, you have a point. But then, they could still have changed the setting and backstory a bit, just enough to make Study in Scarlet good enough for this show. By the way, do you know Holmes ever wore the trademark hunting hat with the clothing ? You know what I'm talking about?

[ghostfanX2]

@extraleague01

And you have a point too -- I think they could have cut out how they came to share rooms, and cut straight to the mystery, (Peter Cushing did that) but the other problem was the whole Mormon angle - it would have been totally not PC, even int eht mid 80's when Granada filmed their version.

I think Holmes (you mean Brett's portrayal?) did wear the Deerstalker a few times, but only when in a country setting - he never would have worn it in the city.

[ghostfanX2]

@extraleague01

I think Brett only used the trademark calabash in one episode - The Final Problem - and that was more a salute to Padget, Doyle, and tradition.

[JamesThompson1011]

@ghostfanX2

You might be right about the age thing, though it's not as off as you estimate. Watson was "born" in 1852, and finished his medical degree in 1878, then met Holmes a few years later, after his service in Afganistan, so he would have been 30ish. Holmes though, would been been around 28.

[ghostfanX2]

@JamesThompson10

Still, that's a 20 year gap - (between the ages of the actors (50) and the ages of the characters (30ish) The plan was fo film ALL the episodes, but Brett got too sick to complete them. I think they started with the most famous (and face it, most filmable episodes) first. Therefore they had to take a few liberties with the canon... I doubt there will never again be such a faithful adaptation of the stories. There were a few changes in the stories I never figured out tho!

[ghostfanX2]

@extraleague01

That saying - Brett, Hardwick and Burke are tops as Wherlock and John Watsons!

[Poet2916]

Holmesians unite! *cheers*

[TUPRBABE]

Sherlock Holmes: master of disguise. Jeremy Brett: master of playing Sherlock Holmes. :D

[CocoOPNY]

gelert456 you are one of my favorite YouTube people!! Thank you for these full-length episodes!! :) I love how this entire series opened with such a clever woman... THE woman. ;)

[SILVERFISHPEE]

thankyou for this !!

[lorend1021]

It's sad--the deterioration of Jeremy Brett along the seasons. He looked so fresh and young compared to the seasons that followed. :(

[usuftube]

awsome stuff @gelert456

[reemgamaan88]

thankx alooooot..ypu are an angel

[blastoidboy]

Thank you!!

[Schurik72]

Nowadays this story couldn't happen. Why? "There is the writin." "Pooh, pooh! Forgery" "My private noe-paper." "Stolen." "My own seal." "Imitated." "My photograph." "Bought." "We were both in the photograph." "Photoshoped" -End of the story"

[coolnerdie]

@Schurik72 you also have to think of the other things in a modern setting. it wouldn't be a king necessarily, more likely a gov't scandal, a scandalous photograph wouldn't be enough and being an "adventuress" wouldn't be enough either.

[WiseOwlOfGallifrey]

@coolnerdie If you want to see how this story would be dramatised in a modern setting, watch the first episode of the second series of BBC's Sherlock: 'A Scandal in Belgravia'. Currently available on the BBC iPlayer.

[coolnerdie]

@WiseOwlOfGallifrey I have seen it, although not on BBC iPlayer because thats region locked and doesn't let me view it :/

[StutleyConstable]

@Schurik72 Photoshopped? Analyzed and revealed as a fraud.

[SkullJoke90]

Thanks for uploading these!

[FullmetalShortOne]

One of my favorite episodes :)

[2manynegativewaves]

lols at 36mins...is that Lofty's great grandad then? Albert Square 1888....:) (or '89 depending which Tchaikovsky concert at St James Holmes meant...;) )

[shobdovedi]

nice



[Lyrictheac]

Ah, Jeremy Brett.... :D

[KindessisEternal]

@betzaleldaniel: Irene gave it to Holmes (incognito) for being present as a witness for the wedding ceremony.

[Littletink02]

Thank you so much for posting. Nothing like a spot of tea and Sherlock :o)

[ywass00]

Great of you to post these, Loved them all!!

[romanvanpersie]

Oh and viewers...PLease try not to put 'spoilers' in your comments. Thx

[gelert456]

@romanvanpersie or just dont read the comments until after you've seen the episode that could work as well.

[MrEliiz]

@romanvanpersie the deer is the murderer. ooops trollololol

[keithgoblue]

Bravo!

[dlsbucur]

This show is quite good!

[MikeAM78]

I just released, the guy Irene marries is played by the same actor who played Bib Fortuna in "Return of the Jedi." I thought he looked familiar.

[suryalinaten10]

''I think I'm going to faint!''

Hahahaha I looovee Holmes in disguises. Brett's portrayal is simply the best!

And Watson piquing up at food and money is just adorable.

Thanks so much for uploading these! I shall make myself very happy by watching them. :)

[betzaleldaniel]

What was special about the coin?



[9000Butterfly]

@betzaleldaniel Irene gave it to him for being a groomsman at her wedding.

[va3svd]

Wolf Koehler does a great job. His quizzical (contemptuous?) look at Watson on his way out of the apartment around 21:40 was hysterical.
