The Solitary Cyclist - Part 6 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not as good as the book, but still worth watching.

I love everything about that era especially the clothes, just beautiful. I do love David Burke as Watson, he's adorable! Brett was as brilliant as ever and I love how they show the needle in the drawer. Brilliant episode, one of my favourite stories :)

well, well... that was an amusing ending XD

Such a joy hearing Holmes saying my name in that amazing voice <3

Damn the firemen where so quick at this time, not even ten seconds after the smoke is visible from the street they are here already!

They should go back to horse nowadays!

Typical Holmes-getting back to business solving the chemical reaction, even after listening to such good news

[LadyTarasque]

lol that's one fast fire response xP

love how Mrs. Hudson just sniffs but just continues on with her business.

and the last 3 lines were pretty funny xP especially the way Watson asked if that was the answer

and the smoke sure is purply o-o

@shauncollege Brett's portrayal IS actually sugarcoated - he didn't like the idea of Holmes shooting up. He felt it was a horrible example for children, so unlike a lot of other portrayals (like Roxborough's in Hound of the Baskervilles), you never actually see Holmes using the cocaine, just implications that he's just finished using it.

I love how, at the end, the room is filling with smoke, Holmes and Watson are gagging out the window, and then Holmes says, "But let me explain!" and drags Watson back inside. Probably the funniest thing I have seen in this series so far.

LOL, 1:51 -- Holmes drops his cigarette in the vase!

I love the fact that, even though they're true to Holmes's character and honest about his cocaine addiction, they never actually show him shooting up. Just rolling up the sleeve and closing the drawer to hide the needle. And Doyle had to have been ahead of his time showing Watson as the "anti-drug voice" that would feature so well today.

they knew telling from the addiction and the change of habits, so it was more like a suspicion...Like watching the degenerative aspects of alcohol consumption . . .

although I am a Persian and have not been grown in this culture, I always appreciate Victorian culture, clothes and manner of talking.I'm studying in London, but all I love about it, is 221 Baker Street.!!!!
