OH, dear, we all do as well as we can, They were both wonderful in those roles and yet Jude and Robert bring a whole new interpretation to the roles - mustn't be scared of changes, me lovelies
David Burke had a chance to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company with his wife and to be with his son who was very young. Jeremy Brett wasn't well and had muttered something about "not doing any more Sherlocks". Burke's wife, an actress, had suggested that Edward Hardwicke take over the role. I thought that when I saw Hardwicke's portrayal in "The Empty House" that Watson had taken Holmes' death very badly, so badly that it had aged him.
Edward Hardwicke does look like an older version of David Burke's Watson. But they're only two years apart in age. I cannot believe that David Burke was 50 when he played Watson! Also, I love Burke's Watson hair! Thanks for the info!
I love this video! It's beautiful! Jeremy Brett portrayed the greatest Sherlock Holmes the world will ever know. Although it is doubtful, we'll see if Robert Downey Jr. can rise up to his stature (pun intended). I'm a fan of RDJ, but Jeremy Brett was THE Master of Sherlock Holmes.
I must also say that David Burke is my all time favorite Watson. Does anyone know why he was replaced by Edward Hardwicke?
Evocotive, Emotional, Endearing and Everlasting. Just like Jeremy ! You captured something special here. Jeremy is a Masterclass actor who's legacy will always be with us for many generations to come. Thank you for such a wonderful video. WB x
This is awesome! Great! Lovin' it! Thank you for creating this and sharing with us. I was just about being in a rather bad mood, but you've surely managed to light it up again. How I wish I'd be technically able to do such vids. Thanks again!
That really is very nice indeed! It took me a min to get used to the song and for it to grow on me but it certainly did. Very well put together video. :)
Congrats! That is quite interesting and enjoyed the unexpected music. Seems like the whole world already knows this, but how are you doing this? I'd love to try one or two ideas but don't quite understand how it is done.
I know this is a serious song, but hang on, and look at Watson's dressing gown. lol: It's so gay! But they are, so that's fine. I'm so used to seeing Holmes' that I thought Watson didn't own one.
Excellent video! The music is really beautiful and I like all the scenes. The one at breakfast is one of my favourite: those precious cups and his lovely messy hair!
Excellent video, really enjoyed watching it(especially loved the clips at 1:58 and 2:07) Glad you managed to sort out the video problems in the end ;-) Have not heard this piece of music before, but it fits really well with some great lyrics. Please do more vids soon!
I often just want to give him a hug!

Does anyone remember the excellent scene with a parlourmaid when she asks Holmes for a kiss?
He is working incognito of the house of a blackmailer (excellently played by Robert Hardy). The scene was in the garden and was amazing. Just perfect.
Thank you for this video.

Ohhhh yes, I remember it VERY well! Lucky girl... she lived my fantasy! :-)
The maid's name was Agatha and she was perfectly played by the very likable Sophie Thompson (sister of well-known British actress Emma Thompson).

It has nothing to do with "being scared of change". It's called personal preference.

I believe he wanted to be with his family a bit more. The role was to demanding as far as time away from his family. That is what I heard.
