[CliffTheMeerkat]

Beauifully executed. A very creaky story, but the quality of the performances trancends the material.

[nineteenthcenturyeng]

That tune always catches my attention, and it always, always Makes me excited. Lol, now I'll probably be speaking with an accent for a bit. I normally do after watching Sherlock Holmes. And I also have a tendency to act like him as well after watching this particular series. When you're a bit of an actress (Not professional) as I am, that tends to happen.

[MissFarsighted]

Dr. Watson likes fezzes, fezzes are cool.

[Pyeknu]

I've always loved Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Holmes. He is surely missed.

[rezitatorin]

At 5:50 Holmes positively kneels before Mrs Hudson who shows him the bullet... great scene.

[Evilmike42]

You will worship The Fez. That is all.

[Imverycute2]

@Evilmike42 "I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool."

Certain Other Doctor: "Yes, they are." :D

[talispoona]

how absolutely wonderful. Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes in his speech and manner. He personifies the character.

[QueenCarter]

sorry but i have to say it, Fez's are cool!

[ashubhalaa]

I dare say, no other actor has ever portrayed Holmes better than Jeremy Brett. Hats off!

[C10Gould]

Watson looks like Mustafa from Austin powers with that ridiculous fez!lol

[naruotno1fangal]

I absoultly love the ending ssong, i don't know why but it makes me so happy.

[loisl2n3]

I love the ending. 

[qadi0]

sherlock holmes. better known as sherlock "motherfu***n" holmes.

[Lyrictheac]

@Flickerfly That sounds so funny: "she's so pleased to have her boys back!!" However, I suspect that you are correct :D

[toastsplosion]

Is it weird that I find Lestrade rather abominably cute in this episode? He's SO HAPPY.

[Mimi2591]

Perfect ending for a marvelous comeback.

[ImpBanDev]

that's a really good ending

[Songsmirth]

@postmoderna7 lololol 

[Songsmirth]

Then what was the purpose of the young man counting the money and looking all worried about it? I'm beginning to wonder if this director did one of these false lead sceens every episode. Did in the last. humm Thanks Anish. :)

[textthing]

@Songsmirth

Damned red herrings, don't you hate them?

[Songsmirth]

@textthing lol YES! 

[shubhamgajwani]

he's back with the same sense of deduction

[obiwanobiwan13]

Let's ALL take up that toast, shall we?

To Mr. Sherlock Holmes!

[atgblue1]

@obiwanobiwan13 agreed! I just took up the toast as well with two medium size pizzas and a 2 liter coke! all gone! (there's no one in the house but me! )

[APH17]

okay seriously...after a performance like this who could possibly not absolutely love jeremy brett as sherlock holmes?!

[jushyosaha604]

Amazing. The 2009 movie sucks. This is the real thing!

[Imverycute2]

I love how they gave the last line in the story to Mrs. Hudson, giving her a much needed bigger part in the show and making her almost the third member of the team.

[Songsmirth]

@Imverycute2 I agree with you. I think this is the most intelligent she ever seemed. :)

[charlotte221b]

One of my favorites!! But, what is up with Watson's hat lol? Does anyone know where I can find the next episode in the series called "the abbey grange"? I have looked for a while without success. Thanks!

[TheDorong]

@charlotte221b

search keyword "The Αbbey Graחge 1/5"

Enjoy

[digikate813]

@charlotte221b Maybe he was in Holmes' cocaine.

[Songsmirth]

@charlotte221b It is a fez, a native hat of India at the time and the British officers wore them sometimes. I assume. .I wasn't there. Both Moran and Dr. Watson had been stationed in India if I remember correctly. Hense, Watson's hat. A classic movie of that time is, "Gunga Din." Hope I spelled it correctly. India was part of the British empire then.

[fredrickUSA]

i think im addicted to sherlock holmes! RIP jeremy brett , you were fantastic

[HolocaustWinds]

all the props are just exquisite-mrs. hudson's last line is great!

[AprilisHolmes]

I love the end!!!

They are together again ^-^

[KarinB65]

Splendid. Thank you Anish for posting this.

[hontrobob]

It is indeed a Fez - once the chosen headgear of all Turks in the Ottoman Empire but banned by Kemal Ataturk in the 1920's who saw it as an impediment to his attempts to modernise and westernise Turkey.

[Parsa9]

Holmes could have picked up the fez on his way back to Europe. He said that after leaving Tibet, "I then passed through Persia, looking in at Mecca, and paid a short but interesting visit to the Khalifa at Khartoum, the results of which I have communicated to the Foreign Office."

Arabia (Mecca) was under Turkish control at the time. The last part of the comment indicates he was acting as a spy and probably disguised. If it were known he was English, the Khalifah regime would have killed him.

[whereurears]

That is with out a doubt the silliest hat I have ever seen.

[allaria8700]

Both Hardwicke and Brett, brilliant as always. Love this episode so much, it was so good to see our Holmes back and alive as ever! Love Brett, we have lost an amazing actor :( but a great legacy he's left behind :)

[Sm3gH3adx]

I miss the all Watson...

[MakotoShishio5]

the best thing on yoututbe full stop

R.I.P JB

[DevaRupa]

Lucky to have such loving friends

[Sinemind]

Great! I love this series. Thanks for posting.

[19996669991]

Brilliant episode and a great adaptation. Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes I've ever seen on the screen (Clive Merrison is certainly the best on the radio) and this whole series is as close to perfection as it is possible to get.

Thank you for posting.

[rsi108]

Every word you have spoken is true my good Sir.

[Krzyszczynski]

Ever heard any of the Holmes radio adaptations from the 1950s and 60s, featuring Carleton Hobbs? He was pretty damn good too. Less so his Watson (Norman Shelley) - too much like the Nigel Bruce travesty from the Universal films.

[pumamama9]

Superlative! Among the best of a truly fine series.

Love the fez.

[tanyaginger]

awesome

[WAMEDJO]

Hardwick is possibly the most resemblant actor in Great Britain, but I really miss David Burke which I found is less self-conscious in the easygoing register that is necessary to balance Holmes's mysanthropy.

[wrght9185]

I agree. Hardwick did a fine job as Watson, but I personally preferred David Burke & was very sad when he didn't return. Burke brought a warmth & a good-hearted nature to the role that balanced out Holmes's calculating character very nicely. I missed Burke for the rest of the series!

[textthing]

Yes, Burke did a great job in the role.

[sherbuy]

I agree, David Burke had that special magic, he was Watson.

[jcfbell3001]

david burke over-acted on the warmth...got blustery...

[Sherlocksweetonme]

Fantastic!! and may I also add fancinated! ;-)

[VsWomen]

most excellent!

[LordHamlet99]

Marvellous, thanks so much for kindly posting. Enjoyed it immensely. I've always felt a pang for Dr Watson's pain at the loss of his dear friend and one sees the hurt in Dr Watson's eyes (perfectly conveyed) when he discovers that Holmes had confided in Mycroft and not himself. However, as Holmes says, Dr Watson had a kinder heart...bravo performances!

[sailorearth2007]

Holmes is back on the case, what could possibly be better? The answer is simply NOTHING at all.

[Nazo400]

Take off the hat Watson... It doesn't suit you...

[Mosflow]

That hat was rediculous. what was it for anyway. does it have a meaning to it?

[poinsettia1]

he made reference to Moran's club...i think a lot of gentleman's clubs had some sort of fanciful pretensions, sort of like the Masons? not to say it made sense, exactly, but it's a thought!

[ScapularSaves]

That's the Mason-Shriner's red fez, I do not know why he is wearing that! It must be a safekeep from his travels in Africa?

[2771]

Maybe he was a Mason?

[TheLittleRussian2]

It's amusing. I believe it's a good enough reason to wear it.

[pinkpearlbutterfly]

indeed. A ridiculous hat is the best way the end such a wonderful episode.

[thesanantoniokid]

pinkpearlbutterfly, I couldn't have put it better myself.

[FredericDaguerre]

It's not a Freemason hat, actually. Context is key. It's a common hat used when wearing the smoking jacket. They had a fancy for orientalism, did the Victorians. And rather common too--you see them in fashion plates all the time.

[pinworms70]

@FredericDaguerre It does appear to be a smoking hat, but its a bit tall...I would suggest it was a souvenir from Holmes, a Fez he picked up in the middle east on his 'travels' for 3 years. I would offer Watson put it on as a whimsy to mimic a smoking hat, but who knows, most likely you are correct in its intention and that was the closest prop they had...Although where is Watsons appropriate smoking jacket :)

By the way, any relation to Louis-Jacques-Mandé :)

[FredericDaguerre]

I agree The frivolities of fashion never cease to amuse. And as for Monsieur Daguerre, let us say he is a not so distant cousin, in a manner of speaking.

Cheers!
