The Bruce Partington Plans - Part 2 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

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

I do so very much love Sherlock Holmes Adventures...and LOVE LOVE Jeremy Brett! His ability to protray SH is remarkable...JUST as David Suchet plays Hercule Poirot!! :::SIGH::: I am so awed by both! Thank you so much for sharing these vids.

Fabulous

Y'know, I think they may have chosen the actor for Mycroft by how much he and Jeremy Brett resemble each other. When they face each other, the profiles are quite similar.

I think this is one of the best in the series. Brett is just pure HOLMES !!!

"Dr er...?"

The actor playing Mycroft sounds a lot like Winston Churchill.

Ah! This was incorporated into the BBC's Sherlock! The Blind Banker episode, I believe.

@maddyreid18 Holmes and Mycroft are supposed to be seven years apart, with Holmes being middle-aged. The actor playing Mycroft is far to old, but also brilliant in the role.

@ludicrouslouisa Watson almost has to be a bit older than that. He'd served as an army doctor for long enough that he had acquired a meagre but servicable pension. He'd also studied enough medicine to run his own local practice. Sherlock had been a detective for a while prior to Study in Scarlet and makes reference in other stories to a fair number of prior cases (both successful and unsuccessful). If we go by backstory, then, rather than stated age, I'd add 5-10 years to the given ages.

@maddyreid18 I think he's only a couple of years older than Sherlock, so yeah, with this adaptation I think they went more for actors they thought would be good in the role rather than accurate ages. Holmes is verging on too old (I can't remember the timeline but he'd probably be in his mid 30s at this stage in the books), Watson is definitely too old (he's the same age as Holmes and when they meet they're around 20) and Mycroft is WAY too old. But the actors are awesome, so I don't care much

maybe it's crazy , but I totally can see Mr Brett playing Sneep in the HP movies.
