Holmes/Watson - 'The Soldiering Life'

Holmes/Watson slashvid (but you can view it as merely Jolly Good Friendship if you really want to ;-) ). First attempt, so rather nervous...

Huge thanks to all those who have uploaded various Holmes episodes and fanvids to YouTube. Couldn't have done it without you!

What episodes are 1:19 - 1:20 and 1:21 to 1:24 from?

[CorporalAlex]

@jssclrd Watson holding up the revolver is 'The Red-Headed League'; Watson firing the revolver at the door, and splintering the lock, is from 'The Copper Beeches'; and the pair of them brandishing umbrellas is from 'The Resident Patient'.

Marvellous video! You've got me hooked on the Decemberists now.

If I might ask, what episode is 1:25- 1:30 from?

[CorporalAlex]

@AdidasandPie - thank you! And glad to hear it - they're a terrific band. :D

The exciting fence-scaling-in-the-dark is from 'The Speckled Band'. :)

love this video so much i can watch it for hours. thank you. btw, which episode is the scene of 1:35-38 from?

[CorporalAlex]

@threedaysblow - Thank you kindly! :D That scene is from 'The Solitary Cyclist'.

[FraxinusDipetala]

Seriously. Not to mention, the way Jeremy Brett plays Holmes, he oozes sexual tension for some reason...

[ThePunisherFreak]

i like the vid. it really shows what good actors Brett and Burke were

[Humanlupin]

@LeuerDuSoleil i think your talking about the resident patient. THe one after Watson gets his haircut?

 sherlock Holmes + decemberists = greatness

[OorusevenFiibaa7777]

I'm totally addicted to this video. *w* It's perfect.

[pipilo1717]

I love this video so much. The first time I watched it I didn't like the song but something drew me back to watch it again and again and again...

Anyway, I now think it it perfect. The song, clips and ideas make a perfect combination.

I love how well this video is done along with the song and it really catches the tone of the program and the relationship between the friends. I especially like how some of the best moments of the show are captured - definitely some of the most hilarious. Brett and Burke together were the best Holmes/Watson team ever. What a great tribute to Jeremy Brett - he was a genius and is very much missed. Thanks for doing this.

@MultiSk2010 ya i know.

[yesnik4805]

A marvelous and entertaining video! Delightful song and excellently chosen clips and timing! I smiled and chuckled all the way through this. I loved the comradeship and chemistry between Brett's Holmes and Burke's Watson, even though Hardwicke is perhaps more favored by some. I still and always will believe they were just great friends and colleagues. Great job on this and thanks for the treat!

[MultiSk2010]

@Raecat2aid OK, it's ur right! and i hope u understand that i was not too serious ;)

btw, now i think that this matter (if they were only friends or something more) is like the problem of god's existence - can be neither proved, nor refuted! xD
