The Mazarin Stone - Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) Part 1 of 5

The ailing Brett largely stepped aside for The Mazarin Stone, a radical reinvention of the Doyle story, which was based on a one-act play also written by Doyle and performed in 1921. Instead of Holmes solving the crime, this time it is his brother, Mycroft (Gray again), ably assisted by Watson. (Sherlock does show up from time to time in a dream-like refrain, thinking through some knotty problem in a moonlighted garden.) Despite the absence of Brett from the main proceedings, the episode is still fun to watch, if largely out of curiosity to see Mycroft in action.---

So terribly brave of jeremy brett to struggle through this final series. But perhaps they should have called a halt long before it came to this?

How dare to speak at the Diogenes Club?!

@Kooshmeister3 "Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere."

@dauradet90 i wondered it too...what a sacrilege!

[Kooshmeister3]

@dauradet90 I always assumed talking was allowed, just that most preferred not to, and would ignore most attempts to strike up a conversation. In any even this discussion seems important enough to warrant breaking that taboo... but by its very nature shouldn't be something they'd discuss openly in front of other members. Mycroft and Cantlemere should've retired to a private room for it.

OMG!

Are they talking?! In the Diogenes Club?! TALKING?!
