The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes - S04E05 - The Bruce Partington Plans

I believe you will find that the phrase, "Elementary, Dear Watson," originated with William Gillette, the American actor, one of the first to portray Holmes on the stage who said "Elementary, my dear fellow." Later on, the phrase was changed by Clive Brook in film as: "Elementary, my dear Watson". The phrase is not to be found in the Canon.

"I knew you wouldn't shrink at the last !" Wonderful...

the thing is holmes always says in the books: "elemtery my dear watson". However he hasnt said that once.

@ACmegamaster In the novels written by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes never says that phrase, it only appeared in later film adaptations.

One of my very few criticisms of this series :

They cut what I've always though was a pretty funny line at 9:37. Doyle had a sly sense of humor. The original line has Mycroft saying "He is a man of forty, married, with five children. He is a silent, morose man,"

Pretty much sums it up

"Well call me an ass Watson this is not who I was expecting." xDD

And for the first time, Sherlock eats instead of Watson :)

Lol Holmes sings?!?!?!? He's not as bad as I would have thought! Not my style of music, but not bad at all.

@athena2517 Yes, that's right. Jeremy Brett could sing extremely good. He sang also in the movie "My Fair Lady" But unfortunaly his singing voice was dubbed by Bill Shirley who did the speaking and singing voice of Prince Phillipe in the Disney movie "Sleeping Beauty" :-)
