COMMING CLOSE TO HER AT HOUSE KEEPER GOOD STYLE

[MissCoCoHolmes]

is it just me or does the housekeeper sound like maggie smith?!?

[Kooshmeister3]

Mrs. McFarlane's statement that John didn't want anything from Oldacre is kind of arrogant, seeing as how John, ignorant of Oldacre's true nature, readily accepted his (apparent) generosity. If had warned her son about what a bastard Oldacre was, he wouldn't have trusted the guy. This is why "protecting" people from the truth can sometimes backfire.

[Kooshmeister3]

@Kooshmeister3 Sorry, didn't mean arrogant, it just struck me as strange she'd insist John wanted nothing to do with Oldacre despite knowing nothing about him, due to her keeping the truth from him.

[Kooshmeister3]

Bleh, and, of course, minutes later she admits her husband told John "something of the truth." Still, if she had, why did John trust him?

[mahound9]

@Kooshmeister3 Indeed you are right.

[IntrepidInkweaver]

"Could it be that for once Lestrade is on the right track?" Lol, tone of disbelief. XD

[int80able]

what  year is this

[Lyrictheac]

Jeremy Brett would be an awesome villain.

[Mimi2591]

I love the exchanges with Lestrade and Holmes, they are far too amusing with their irritation to each other.

[ChiaraMichela]

I wanna a man like that...right now... <3

Jeremy at 2.25 and at 2.33... Wow!!!!

[TheSleepingSage]

@illbetilbake Oh, I would hardly call it contempt. They get on each others nerves a great deal, granted (and I love it when they do), but I always believed that under all the snarky quips as to each other's character and work method, there was a deep vein of respect. I think SIXN perfectly exemplifies this. Although I will agree that it's amusing how Holmes and Lestrade never disguise their annoyance. :D

[Imverycute2]

Holmes says, "Nevertheless." What he means is "Do what I say, you irritating little worm, or I will be put on trial for murdering a barely adequate police inspector."

[CosplayingCassie]

That 'never?' was just epic.

[SnowhitePP333]

Lestrade: "No doubt you brought your glass with you" :-))) Poor Holmes

[kossmikham]

Love that cold hand gesture to the housekeeper at 7:40.

[spanish80]

indeed....very insulting...lol

[KermitW00T]

Wow. 4:47 That's some "nevertheless"! |D

[alguien1234]

9:16 to 9:28

I love it!!! On youtube is more difficult to see that with a resolution better, but that part definitely makes you fall in love with Jeremy.

[KingofStarfox]

He may be saying 'Thank you ms lexington, you have been most cooperative.' but what he's really saying is 'Ms. Lexington, you are a nasty old cow.'

[SuperJJx]

This is an veird comment: 'Thank you mrs Lexington, you have been most cooperative.' And the wave says 'Get lost.'

[queenkarlarivera]

lol I literally laughed out loud really loudly only Holmes could get away with it

[KevinByrne2]

After watching the entire film again carefully, Mr. Oldacre's house does have electricity. In part 2/6 at 3:17, the lamps over Oldacre's desk are lit. In part 1/6 at 1:29, bell-shaped lamps are lit in the hallway; they're lit again as McFarlane enters in part 2/6 at 3:10. There are electric switches (brown square boxes) next to the door frames in part 3/6 at 5:41 (left of Lestrade) and in part 5/6 at 1:53 (to the right of Holmes).

[KevinByrne2]

One small error: At 6:00 the two small lamps (with conical shades) suspended above the desk have electric light bulbs.

[CaptainPolaris]

Electricity would have been set up in houses by this time (1894).

[KevinByrne2]

I considered that electricity might have been installed at that time, but the hanging lamps are the only electric lamps in the house; the other lamps are oil lamps.

[CaptainPolaris]

Maybe the electric lights were installed specifically for use in officework. :)

[4432jrk]

Waton--pressumably the organic remains are removed----lestrade---you'll find nothing-poor devil was nothing more than bones----yada yada----holmes-nevertheless bones inspector-convenient for the murderer----Watson----lol---TH­ANK HEAVENS HE WA WEARING HIS TROUSERS lol---hard to ull the wool over these super slueths --------

[evchen3]

I love the murderous way he says 'Nevertheleeees' at 5.49 =)

[ericthefrootbat]

I love how Holmes waves people away..."be gone" lol

[shervman]

Yeah, you're so right, that's part of his character: rude and easily bored!

[VolkgartenBySquirrel]

Can it be that the good Mr Oldacre came a'courtin' the new widow not long before the start of the story?

[serdragon]

jeremy brett is the best holms. this is the best portrail of watson i have ever seen.

[ShadowStar12]

Lestrade is just pissing Holmes off.

[kaisenji]

I know! When he turned back around I thought he was going say "Ima chargin mai lazar!" Which, in my opinion would have been quite epic for 19th century London.

[wadyano]

did servants dress in mourning clothes when their masters died?

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

In a "proper" house the house is dressed for mourning. In their duties the servants are part of the house.

However, this particular servant is rather overdoing it and is dressed as one of relatives, so her appearance alone ought to be considered odd, yes. Tight as wax and all wrong.

The black headdress and an armband would suffice, especially in the house of a tradesman.
