PART 2...Jeremy Brett's..Explosive, Enthusiastic, Exuberant, Humourous, Quirky Holmes

My second one of Jeremy's quirky Holmes, picking out the funny bits, expressions, gestures that make his Holmes for me.....the ultimate ! And of course you'll notice some rather sexy glances ! Enjoy !

Edward said that Jeremy would hide a camera under his costume so he could snap cast and crew in whatever situation and then Jeremy would pin the photo's on a door for everyone to see. The bit below is taken from an Edward Hardwicke interview......
'Jeremy had one or two very crafty things he used to do. He was a heavy smoker, which didn't help his health, and every morning on way to location he would buy sixty cigarettes which he would smoke during the day. And we filmed in a number of National Trust houses in which smoking is forbidden. Jeremy would get 'round this because there would be a new director or somebody who didn't know his habits. I knew bloody well what he was doing. And he'd call the director over and say, "I think, John, I think Holmes should smoke in this scene, I feel -" (John) said, "Oh, well, have a pipe." (Jeremy would reply) "No, no, no, no. It requires a cigarette." So he would then chain-smoke on the set, well everyone else was banned (begins laughing) Jeremy was smoking away. And they never picked it up, he would always find some way of doing that. And he had a black scarf which he would put 'round his head . . . he had some very, very eccentric habits that he came up with.
The series as a whole was a hugely happy time, it was obviously dominated by Jeremy, absolutely dominated by him. And the laughter, huge sort of gales of laughter. He was an extraordinary man and a great loss and sadly, I feel, not honored enough for what he did. He didn't get any gongs for that performance. And it will be remembered, I'm sure, because I think he was an extraordinary Holmes.'


I own none of the material......film nor the music !

Buy the boxset, mine is well thumbed.
