The Norwood Builder - Part 2 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

[lizmil]

I love how they actually have horse poo in the street. The attention to detail in this series is fantastic!

[madhusudhan112]

IT MAI TRUEEEEEE

[PhantomQueeny1]

lol "this case it not clear to me....COME WATSON!"

[Kooshmeister3]

Why doesn't Lestrade want the will? It sounds like it would be evidence. Or do the police already have the completed final draft from Oldacre's house?

[Mimi2591]

8:16-8:18 That was the best exchange of astonishment that I have seen between them thus far. The best scene of this particular part of the video yet!

[Songsmirth]

I have a feeling that this man didn't like the fact that his girlfriend married another. I think this kid was set up. He should have questioned it more than just thinking he'd come on good fortune. "You don't get something for nothing." hummm

[UnbreakableWestlife]

MacFarlane reminds of palinor the guy who worked in the art gallery in the sherlock holmes nemsis game :)

[Imverycute2]

Holmes is absolutely astounded over the fact that the case isn't clear to him -- and that makes him all the more excited.

Poor McFarlane! I wanted to hug him when he was being taken away and tell him it would be all right -- Holmes always comes through.

[CosplayingCassie]

The way he shouts 'CAB!' is just terrific XD

[neongodsjapan]

@CosplayingCassie

Not only that, isn't it great how Jeremy Brett takes control of the horse in that moment, as if he really lived in the 1880, not in the 1990s. That is what all great actors need to remember.

Thanks for uploading these masterpieces anish79

Then along came that condiment called catsup pray tell of that story also

[99range70def]

I ate a samwhich while watching this movie, it was a GOOD samwhich!

[hontrobob]

The word is 'sandwich' - said to be named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich who snacked on meat between two bits of bread while playing cards. The bread stopped his fingers becoming greasy from eating meat and so prevented the grease from smearing the cards.

[99range70def]

your buttchin turns me on

[notAbba]

I agree with you guys. I hope this isn't that transparent.

[sizzla123]

i love the way they shout "cab!"

Holmes is botherd that the young man will be hanged unless he can prove his innocence. Holmes knows he is the boy's only hope.

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

What a nasty creature! The builder was a smart man, but could not control his appetites. Having gotten rich, then greedy, he toyed with a spoiled woman accustomed to wealth ( how old was she?) then whips up, practically on the instant, a means of switching identities and covering his tracks by avenging himself on a girl's refusal of over 30 years ago! Knowing the boy would hang for it. We can imagine what would have happened to the future Mrs Cornelius, with no near relations. Get 'im, Holmes!

[TheCripplerChick]

He did a lot worse than that. In addition to praming McFarlane for his murder, he provided a corpse for it by luring in some innocent homeless guy with promises of kindness, then killed him and burned the body beyond recognition. That's cold.

[RenGrayson]

In this Granada version, they change the story so that Oldacre does actually murder a man, thus adding more weight to the crime. In ACD's short story, Holmes says that "a couple of rabbits would account both for the blood and for the charred ashes."

Granada's version resolves the unlikely scenario that anyone would have mistaken "a couple of rabbits" (or even the charred corpse of a dog) for the remains of a human, so this is probably why they had Oldacre murder a homeless man.

[ShawDAMAN]

I agree the book scenario is unlikely, although, you might be surprised- if a person was examining the charred pile after a very severe fire with the preconception that there HAD been a murder, seeing any sort of bones (along with remains of human clothing) *might* make a bumbling police inspector jump to erroneous conclusions. Although Holmes himself no doubt wouldn't have been fooled. (and wasn't.)

[Vitruvialypto]

i really love those small details wich you don't see in nowaday's films..

now a days its all about action and sex scenes instead of a good story line...

hot babes and big guns instead of some smart thinking... really regret it.

[herodotus53]

A solicitor is a type of lawyer, in common law countries such as Britain, who may only provide legal advice outside of court. This is in contrast to a 'barrister', who is allowed to appear in court.

[natchblonde]

Thanks for the explanation.

[Shangas]

Well-explained, Herodotus. Of course, in countries outside of the former British Commonwealth, the word 'solicitor' has a very different meaning. Depending on how far you go, it can mean a door-to-door salesman or it can even mean a prostitute.

[wadyano]

what is a solicitor?
