The Greek Interpreter - Part 1 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

[julielaughs14]

9:20 These are my friends. This is Doctor Watson. *Watson bows slightly* And this is my younger brother Sherlock. *Sherlock shoops in from the side* XD

[Yugiohlorie]

the actor playing Mycroft looks too old to be just 7 years older than Sherlock

[EuskaltelEuskadi]

"Well of COURSE I do!" Oh Watson... you do make me laugh XD

[Sillygoose14111]

"Ha. HA HA!"

That laugh was hilarious XD

[AlanAlan2001]

I read the story and was looking forward to seeing Sherlock's brother here.

[Teennick100]

this is my first time liking sherlock holmes and dr.watson episode thanks for upload these episode my friend thanks keep up the good work let's be friends okay contact me on youtube :)

[cheeseble]

Sherlock Holmes stories are not only really fun, but the quality of Doyle's words are something we should all aspire to reach. Thanks so much for posting...I get obsessed with Sherlock every now and then.

[moongirl786]

OMG, it's a room full of Aspies!!!!!!!! (people with Asperger's Syndrome, like me) :)

And Holmes 1 and Holmes 2... Lol!!!!!!!! That back and forth scene... Brilliant!!!

[TraineeHero]

@moongirl786 People like me too.

[Sujinpuffy]

You people need to shut up about Twilight. What the hell does it have to do with this? Christ, complain about it on an actual Twilight video, not on a video that contains no trace of it.

Not a lover nor hater of the book because I've never read it, but goddamn, the hate comments are more annoying than the series itself now.

[gtx2000hawk]

Jeremy had the character Sherlock Holmes blended in his blood. There never seemed a moment to me in his acting which would pronounce that there was slightest force of effort required for it. It came from him perfectly naturally.Therefore its hard to believe that there ever would be someone better than Jeremy Brett.

R.I.P Jeremy.

[marelicainavokado]

Such a cute addition :D Holmes goes on how Mycroft remembers everything, but he totally forgot Watson's name :)

[GlassCtiy]

lol holy and shit

[JoeDurobot]

I like how Mycroft introduces Watson as "his friend" even if its the first time he ever met him just because he is his brother's friend.

I dunno its just nice.

[RingSaberWardrobe]

@JoeDurobot It is cute. =) I love Mycroft, whether he be canon, Charles Gray, or Mark Gatiss. <3

[twosixteen]

@RingSaberWardrobe Mycroft is the bomb.

[MrsSherlcokHolmes]

Brilliant Jeremy

[ShiksaWithChutzpah1]

Alright, that club has to tone it down a notch cause they are WAY out of control. :)

[calliesaiyan]

Hey, Mycroft- how do you do the timewarp, again?

[twosixteen]

@calliesaiyan It's just a jump to the left...

[catherinespark]

Mycroft's a bit old isn't he? He's only meant to be 7 years older!

[Mimi2591]

Wow! Thinkers paradise! You can hear a pin drop halfway down the hall in that place. I suppose people do practice 'silent as the grave'.

[bronteteri]

i love Jeremy Brett as Holmes.... perfect

[Zeldarulah]

I love the modesty quote.

[TwistedHarbinger]

...I think I like this Mycroft. 

[CaptainPolaris]

I love how Holmes steps out from behind Mycroft. So theatrical. :)

[operaphantom95]

Is it just me, or is the creepy blonde guy with the glasses doing an impression of Peter Lorre?

[nenuok]

Brett, thou art the one and only Holmes!

[ozzymate666]

thanks anish79, you deserve a medal

[poofelf]

Don't you just love it when Holmes just inks the pen and then passes it to Watson to register them in the guest book? lol... typical of Holmes....

[firetrucksnfishcakes]

There will never be another book like Sherlock Holmes. It deals with the ideas of mind and spirit, while modern "classics" are merely fads and phases that humans go through. But Sherlock Holmes will never die out. :D

PS: IM THE ONLY 9TH GRADER I KNOW WHO HATES TWILIGHT, love me or hate me, you know I speak the truth. :D

[yrti0121]

@firetrucksnfishcakes YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH 100%!!

[UnbreakableWestlife]

@firetrucksnfishcakes People like you give me hope for our future:)

[iluvanimorphs]

@firetrucksnfishcakes YES another person my age who dislikes Twilight. Though I think you're the first person I've learned of who's my age and enjoys Sherlock Holmes and watches the Granada series.

[JHandcock1111]

@iluvanimorphs - Add me to that. Twilight is a disgusting book that teaches us that abusive relationships are "love" and its ok. Twidiots all of them. Sherlock rules!!! JB is THE BEST sherlock ever!!! Basil Rathbone is second.

[calliesaiyan]

@JHandcock1111 why must people always talk about stupid Twilight? Can't I just read comments about the awesomeness that is sherlock holmes? (I agree with every point though)

[SuperYubie]

@firetrucksnfishcakes

You are totally correct. Sherlock Holmes is unrivalled.

[ehc43]

@firetrucksnfishcakes Dude, I am a twilight hater myself, and in my opinion you have every right to hate it. I'm 21 years old and most of whom I know around my age, men and women, love twilight. I really see it as childish myself. Vampire vegetarians? Vampires falling in love? And vampires are generally "misunderstood?" You've got to be kidding me! There was an era of a well established form of myth and legend with vampires, werewolves, and heroism. Alas, now it has disappeared due to twilight.

[ehc43]

@firetrucksnfishcakes Another thing, Twilight has turned the whole vampire and werewolf thing into a soap opera! Disgusting, if I do say so myself!

[MagicansForce]

@firetrucksnfishcakes I am the only 11th grader I know that reads Sherlock Holmes. I assure you that you are not alone. XD

[EuropeanNinja]

@MagicansForce well I"m the only 9th grader I know that reads sherlock holmes.

[twosixteen]

@firetrucksnfishcakes /internethighfive

[gontia0]

@firetrucksnfishcakes i love that you hate twilight :D

[MeridianSon]

@firetrucksnfishcakes You are awesome fishcakes!

[MeridianSon]

@firetrucksnfishcakes thank God for 9th graders like you fishcakes! twilight haters of the world, UNITE!

[carmcam1]

@MeridianSon i love twilight, i also love sherlock holmes novel, i actually read all of them.

[ultraviolet128]

love it how sherlock thinks that his brother is one of the oddest men in London when undoubtedly he himself must be quick high up the list :)

[ToxiqueRose]

Poor sociable Watson. You can't fathom a club like this ! at 6:30

[Imverycute2]

I so love what I like to call "the deduction duel" between the two Holmeses. I figure they probably did that all the time when they were young -- their version of a children's game.

Ah, the Diogenese Club! I wanna join! Imagine a club where you DON'T HAVE TO SOCIALIZE.  You can just sit with a book and read to your heart's content in complete piece and quiet -- bliss, absolute bliss! *happy sigh*

[UnbreakableWestlife]

@Imverycute2 They have those there called libraries haha

[Imverycute2]

@UnbreakableWestlife People are too noisy in libraries, and they bring their noisy kids and electronic gadgets I would bet no electronics at all are allowed in the Diogenes Club. I NEED ABSOLUTE PEACE AND QUIET.

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

I just adore this Mycroft. He's a lot more cuddly than other versions. Seems a bit closer to the typical older brother, with that Holmesian brainflair.

[JaylinsARTSFilms2]

was this the first 1

[Calenmarwen]

no the second of the second season, or if you prefer the eighth in The Adventures series, I think

[catherinespark]

@notAbba Perhaps 1. If a paedophile, children would be distrustful, given the rarity of a strange man treating them that way. Therefore would probably employ a woman to lure them. 2. A paedophile would probably be more hidden. 3. If the children are parentless the male provider would probably engage a nanny. 4. Probably widower, as doing own shopping/grieving manner. 5. His age suggests the father generation. 6. Therefore probably the wife died so recently no nanny has yet been appointed.

[catherinespark]

@notAbba The nanny points can possibly be inferred from the fact that if there was a nanny, the male provider would leave the toy-shopping/choice of toys to her, as the father usually had little to do with the children then so wouldn't actually know them well enough to know the toys they would like. And the other thing is that Sherlock often says in the book, that deductions like that are not always certain, but often a balance of probabilities. E.g. the deductions made from Watson's watch.

[aleksandarinfoinvest]

I guess they were trying to make it sound like someone was speaking Greek in the opening scene where two men meet, but I must say it sounded as if English speaking dude was quoting Latin proverbs.

[vivaladiva2001]

@aleksandarinfoinvest  it was greek.

[alex345071]

You're right...It was Greek with English accent. The guy must have certainly been English trying to speak Greek. For us, Greeks, he is just too funny.

[IIIXBlackxCatXIII]

7:50 epic watson face!!!

[MusicLuver519]

I just can't get over the fact that the Criminologist from Rocky Horror is playing Mycroft. I keep holding in the urge to tell him to get a neck.

[Lothriel]

Mycroft, it's just a jump to the left... and then a step to the riiiyiiiyiiiiight!

[IIIXBlackxCatXIII]

@Lothriel omg lol wtf bbq!

[Banminator]

Holmes: with your hands on your hips...you bring your knees in tiiighiiight!

Watson:...*backs away slowly*

[DarkeRaven09]

To say the bottom six comments is spam is an insult... to spam. Always remember to negatively mark bot postings whenever you see them (unless your not a bot then I apologize for calling you a bot).

[Banminator]

This guy really fits the role of Watson, he looks and sounds EXACTLY like Watson should.

[pibeagles]

Unfortunatly, whenever books are portrayed on film, the result is never as good. But I think that Brett has come closer to Holmes than anyone else, and in my opinion that includes Basil Rathbone, although he is second only to Brett.

[ceruleanmist111]

Ahahahaha...

Sherlock and Mycroft deducing back and forth like twin Weasleys just sent me into hysterics.

[verkaforever]

This was on ITV3 today.

[queenkarlarivera]

how odd its like a library where all the members are stuck up and dont want to look at you or pretend you dont exist lol

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

I can never help but to compare this club with the Drones club from the Jeeves stories by PG Wodehouse. Talk about your complete opposites.

[coralin378]

I love this episode :D

It's great to see Holmes interact with his brother.

[ShawDAMAN]

lol that club cracks me up. Why don't they just go to the library :P I mean whats the point of a club where no one talks or socializes? :P

[9Agnes2]

4:51 I was entirely sure he was about to pick up his cell phone to text Mycroft!

[kramnesnay]

Sherlock and Mycroft (what weid names) both have amazing powers of observation

[rsi108]

it is not real. many blessings

[malky270]

both are named after victorian cricketers . Conan Doyle was a good player , I believe he once dismissed W G Grace. notts and derbys respectively

[Sehaw]

Oh my god, I love this club. I think Im that "odd".

What irritates me a bit is how old Mycroft looks. In the novels Sherlock says he is 9 years his senior, but here he looks like he could very well be his father instead of his brother. Apart from that he does a great performance.

[charcharbinks2]

True. My issue with Mycroft is that I immediately recognized Charles Gray from the 007 film Diamonds Are Forever... it kind of killed it for me haha

[marianneootjers]

For me it was the other war 'round. I watced Diamonds are forever and I thought: Well I'll be damned, that's Mycroft XD

[charcharbinks2]

Haha! I don't think I necessarily would have even noticed, if it wasn't for his distinctive mannerisms and voice patterns. Strange characters to relate! All I can hear is Sean Connery saying, "Blofeld!!"

[marianneootjers]

I mean way instead of war, kinda difficult to type with one hand :P

[Cohensar]

I am not trying to be picky but Mycroft is 7 years Sherlock's senior. but maybe he just ages terribly so he looks older

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

It's all the not-talking. And general laziness. Makes ya ancient fast.

[DarkComet360]

Actually, I heard that he was much older then 7 years his senior. You see Mycroft was about 17-18 years old when Sherlock was born so that would make him much older. It was suggested later that Mycroft was like 31 years old when Sherlock was 13 years old at one time. I really should check on that since I know Sherlock's family tree quite well.

[sparkyann]

In the original story, he was only 7 years older.

[catherinespark]

@DarkComet360 In the book, in The Greek Interpreter, Watson asks Sherlock "He is your junior?" and Sherlock replies "Seven years my senior".

[CaptainPolaris]

It's almost like meeting of the parents. Holmes looks really pleased that Mycroft and Watson get to finally meet. And Watson is soaking it all up. We love Brett and Burke.

[sherbuy]

Jeremy Brett's acting is excellent in this episode, the same goes for the direction and cinematography. enjoy.

[sherbuy]

David Burke was the perfect Watson, his voice, his eyes, his face, everything. What a shame that he didnt do the whole series. my comment isnt meant to harm any other actor playing watson, they were all very good, David was just great.

[WomaninBlack215]

"Holmes, I know that you are a modest man..."

MODEST?! When was he ever modest?

[Sadatjabeen]

Watson is actually being humorously sarcastic here. He gets the opportunity too less! hehe

[19996669991]

I suppose every fan has their own personal Holmes tucked away in their head and for me Brett just fits...........perfectly.

[wrght9185]

This episode shows David Burke's version of Watson at his best. I love his facial expression & voice at 4:30.

[Traininghopper]

You are a god send!

[QuinnthePrincess]

I wonder if there's a man at that club who periodically goes around the room, poking the members to make sure they are not dead.

[NorceCodine]

And your point being ...?

[athene1992]

The Diogenes Club sounds like my kind of club!

[hurriganes2]

the greatest holmes actors of all time.

[Komaborn]

LOL, the "champions of the quiet-game" club.

[mjay22]

LOL that's a good one, and it's rather a catchy name!

[wadyano]

the book described mycroft as being the spitting image of holmes in the face but grossly obese. this mycroft doesn't fit the image

[Sylikat1895]

But he plays the part superbly! Wouldn't you rather an actor chosen for ability over one chosen for fitting the image?

[kaisenji]

I agree. Skill over looks is all the rage nowadays. *snort* I wish. I do enjoy them bantering back and forth. What a treat for Watson.

[soolovey]

Well, there is only one Jeremy Brett :)

[CaptainPolaris]

Well, there is only one Jeremy Brett. :)

[wadyano]

what an utterly dull club

[kaisenji]

Quite. More like a club for funeral directors. Or Bankers.

[wadyano]

jeremy was exactly what i pictured in my mind as holmes when i read the story. he was born for this role.

[de6789]

Amen to that. he was born to be Holmes.

[catherinespark]

@wadyano He also died for this role.

[wadyano]

this role didn't kill him. smoking did.

[catherinespark]

@wadyano Maybe it didn't help (I thought they smoked parsley and things in films - that's what it says on the commentary of Father Ted at any rate), but the wikipedia bio of Jeremy Brett has quite a bit about his mental illness in conjunction with the role and the effects it had on his health. Hang on a minute, are you meaning Sherlock Holmes or Jeremy Brett?? :)

[wadyano]

@catherinespark jeremy. he smoked his whole life and his heart failed

[catherinespark]

@wadyano Fair enough - I didn't know about the smoking. I did know he had heart failure though. Apparently there were a couple of other things that contributed to the heart failure. For one thing the tablets for his manic depression had the side effect of water retention which can lead to heart failure, and for the other he had heart valve scarring from rheumatic fever as a child. Incidentally he also had dyslexia and a speech impediment that needed correction and speech therapy as a child.

[silverbud]

@catherinespark

Not about Jeremy, but I realized that wikipedia is rather a weak source of information. I recently read several bios about writers in the russian, english and german wikipedia and the differences were great, not only about the interpretation of worth, but even in "facts" about what they did during their lives. "Wikipaganda"...

[catherinespark]

@silverbud 'Wikipaganda' - I like that term. I suppose some articles are better and others are just a joke. The salad cream one used to start "Salad cream is a disgusting white paste". Well at least it made people laugh! I bet the Holmes brothers would have made great Wikipedia contributors, but then again they'd have probably set their sights MUCH higher!

[saidthebest]

great movie thx for the upload
