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.---

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU ARE A HOLMES FAN. This is utterly horrible and a rare miss for the series.

1. Brett was very ill, and was in hospital, that's why he appear only at the begining and on the end of this episode, and that's why Mycroft is solving the case.

2,3,4. Watson was shot in "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs", and they used here few parts from this story. And this is also the reason why those ladies appear and it's not set on baker street. ;)

Wtf. I was so confused none of what happened in this was in the book. 1. Mycroft wasn't in it. 2.watson was never injured. 3.those ladies never appeared and 4. The whole of the book was based at baker street. I liked it any how.

Charles Gray was bit too old to be playing Mycroft. But he was such a magnificent actor and filled the role so well, that it wasn't an issue. He was a wonderful Mycroft.

[SymphonyBrahms]

It's too bad that the Queen doesn't award posthumous knighthoods. Jeremy Brett should have been knighted during his lifetime.

JB a great man and a great actor

[jenniferh341]

Good grief, the music is so loud when Mycroft is talking in the club that I couldn't hear him. I'm not enjoying the musical editing of these last Sherlocks.

Tell me what the "Ghost" is! Let me follow you to the highlands! Ah!
