Sherlock Holmes was created by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1897 and he became the world's most famous detective. He is the most portrayed character in all literature with thousands of depictions in films, tv, theatre and cartoons. Joolz visits locations connected with the BBC Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and also the Guy Ritchie Robert Downey Junior version. We tell the story of how Sherlock Holmes came about and ended up facing his nemesis Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. There is also mention Irene Adler known as The Woman who got the better of Holmes and we meet the actor playing Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles at The Lost Estate. It's a high pace, frenetic whirl around London.

Another classic, Joolz. Terrific video, be well best from Montreal to Lou & Simon too!
Jeremy Brett personified Sherlock Holmes. Brett's iteration is Sherlock in his purest form, a disarming genius obsessed with unraveling even the thorniest mystery, perfectly capturing the detective's mercurial genius.
He studied Sherlock Homes very deeply to the point where he struggled to separate his own personality & stayed in character for weeks on end. Jeremy Brett should’ve been knighted for his services to acting. He was / is a national treasure 🇬🇧.
Jeremy Brett rises above all others in his Holmes portrayal.
Granada studios seemed to be meticulous in making sure the scenery, clothing, and overall haunting atmosphere was of the late Victorian era. Dr. Watson did not seem to be a comedic foil as much as how Nigel Bruce portrayed him (I have not read the original books (yet) so I don't know how Dr. Watson was portrayed).
@@RighteousReverendDynamite I've been reading the books lately, they're fantastic. The Nigel Bruce take is way off.
@@RighteousReverendDynamite The Granada Watson is true to the books. A man of above average intelligence & resource, whom Holmes depends upon for his practicality and good nature.
I was fortunately enough to see Brett and Hardwick on stage in The Secret of Sherlock Holmes. Not only were they brilliant on stage, but both gentlemen were very kind and accommodating to the fans, even when they must have been exhausted.
We lived on Manchester Street, parrallel to Baker Street in the 70s. Saturday mornings, out shopping on Baker Street (before this mock-up was built) and informing American tourists who were looking for 221b that in fact Sherlock Holmes was a character of fiction. Over half didn't believe us, including a woman who burst into tears and ran off to look for a policeman!
Happy Days indeed...
"I say Holmes, why have you painted the front door yellow?"
"Lemon entry my dear Watson"
😂😂😂😂😂
One of my cousins used to tell a ruder version of that joke. 🥴
Sherlock Holmes. ‘The man who never lived and will never die.’
Another glorious trip back in time with the effervescent Joolz Guides team. Don't ever change.
Growing up, I had seen the Basil Rathbone movies on TV, but truly got into Holmes with Brett's version. For the past few months, I've been listening to the stories, watching Brett again, and even surprised myself when I found a DVD of the Granada version while packing for a move. My son was a young teen and also a fan of the Sherlock series, so we were both thrilled to visit the Baker Street site many years ago.
Sherlock Holmes is what got me interested in London so many years ago. I watched Jeremy Brett's portrayal in the 80s and 90s with my family, and his death was devastating. So glad you've covered SH!
Jeremy Brett is the greatest Sherlock Holmes of them all. His stories are the closet to the originals. And they are on TH-cam
Habe the episodes thier own channel ?
How can someone find them ?
Thank you in advance.
I was recently in London and found the Sherlock Holmes pub on Northumberland Street, which is an absolutely fascinating place, well worth investigating. I've been waiting for Joolz to do this video for ages. Great work, my dear Joolz.
What is Sunday morning without a Jools guide,& one about my favorite fictional character
As a child, I did send a letter to 221b Baker Street. No one in my family had the guts to tell me he is not real since they knew I would be crushed. Obviously I figured it out later and can't forget the shock and sadness went through my body. I was the victim of the Sir Arthur's masterpiece writing and Jeremy Brett's genius acting. Love this episode!
I'm a SH fan so this was a wonderful surprise that you've featured Conan Doyle's London. Thanks so much!
My wife and I where just in London to visit with my brother and his wife and we went to see Tom Carradine's Cockney sing-A-Long. We all enjoyed it, thanks for the tip. They live in the Seven Dials area and didn't know about it. I turned them on to your page and left them your book. They have done several of your walks already.
"The game's afoot!" What a super Sunday afternoon with Joolz and the Baker Street Irregulars! Thank you, Joolz and team, for another brilliant video tour!
Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes. End of discussion as far as I'm concerned, Joolz. Great video as always - loving your work.
I know that my dad would had enjoyed this video because he asked for Joolz guide to make an episode a while back . His favorite was Jeremy Brett and I did enjoy rewatching those episodes with him. We would also watch and rewatch the two movies with Downey and Law. Besides Tolkien , Conan's famous detective was his favorite. He did buy the hat and my mom did give him his calabash pipe for Christmas. He read from other authors vision of Holmes. I kinda wish this came sooner so he could have seen it. Miss you dad ✝
Robert Downey Jr is definitely my favourite Sherlock Holmes. Another fab video Joolz.
Thanks so much for doing this particular episode on Sherlock Holmes. I am one of those followers. Back in the mid 1980s my family and I visited England. It was my first time in England and in fact my first time across the Atlantic. We spent 7 weeks travelling all over England. We should have planned more time for London but we gave it several days. We each had one place we particularly wanted to visit. My husband wanted to visit Greenwich our son wanted to visit Hamley's and I wanted to visit the Sherlock Holmes Pub. Back then I don't think there were as many Sherlock Holmes locations as there are now. We did take a London cab up to Baker St. and I think we saw the location of 221B but I don't recall there being any people around at all. We had to hurry because we had a reservation for dinner at the Sherlock Holmes Pub and we didn't want to miss that. Too bad we didn't have your guide book back then. I had read all the Sherlock Holmes stories many many times. One of my favourite TV series was the one with Jeremy Brett - seemed very authentic. I also liked the Benedict Cumberbatch / Martin Freeman very modern version of Sherlock Holmes until it started to get rather weird toward the end. I liked the way they depicted his reasoning of problems. My grandfather studied medicine at Queens College in Belfast and also at the University of Edinburgh. I don't know if Dr. Bell was still lecturing there when my grandfather was a student. It would have been in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Sadly my grandfather did not complete his education because he fell in love with a Catholic girl and they ran away to Canada.
Best program on TH-cam we enjoy it so much. Thank you, lools 😊
Yesss two of three interviewed visitors in the queue said "Livanov"! 😎💪🫵 And no wonder as even the Queen admitted that Vassily Livanov was the best living Holmes of all times and gave him a British national award for his role. By the way ,my favourite and first route in London I took when I was there. I even got tears in my eyes when I heard the main theme from the Soviet film in the entrance🎉
Great watching this. I've got a first edition compendium of Sherlock Holmes stories from Strand Magazine (Memoirs of SH)...found it whilst clearing my great aunt's house. A fabulous hidden gem from 1894.
What a lucky man you are to have someone who so obviously shares your spirit of fun! I'm a big fan of Mr.s Holmes and Watson and thoroughly enjoyed this vid!
Christopher Lee played Holmes 3 times, played Mycroft to Robert Stephens' Holmes & Sir Henry Baskerville to Peter Cushing's Holmes, as well as reading many of the stories for audio books. Tom Baker's Doctor did a tribute to Holmes in The Talons of Weng Chiang; Baker went on to play Holmes himself in a version of Hound of the Baskervilles. Baker also played Holmes on stage in The Mask of Moriarty.
Great adventure, Joolz!
I've always loved Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Holmes and sadly he was taken from us much too soon.
When I first read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Hound of the Baskervilles" in 1987, I was in LOVE with Sherlock Holmes and his crime-solving adventures🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🔍🔍🔍🔍
I know this is pretty out of the blue, but thank you for making this content after all this time. My mom and I used to watch your videos, making long plans to go to some of the places youve taken us in these episodes. Ovarian cancer took her last november, and its always nice to come back and follow your tours for a bit. If I ever do make it to London, one of your tours is at the top of my lists of things to do, if merely just for mom. Your reach is wide Joolz, and your passion and love for your work has helped make memories for so very many. Please, by all means, keep carrying on =)
My favorite Sherlock Holmes is Jeremy Brett. I believe wholeheartedly he embodied Sherlock Holmes more than anyone else who ever portrayed him.
BTW... Thank you for doing this episode.. I really loved it!
The Speckled Band, the Hound of the Baskervilles and The League of Red Haired Men are the stories I've read that stick in my mind.
We were just there a few days ago and enjoyed it. Jeremy Brett was the best. Back in Tennessee now, but look forward to returning. Thanks, Joolz, for the tips.
Jules I don’t usually get you same day. I lived in Newham and Tower Hamlets for 5 years. Your vids of London remind me of my time there, in the best way.
"Funnily enough, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a Free Mason." Not so exceptional my dear Watson as the occult has always been de rigueur in certain elevated circles. It's interesting how various adaptations of Sherlock Holmes run the gamut of genres; from action, comedy and drama with each generation stamping its own imprint on his character - some of which are very weird indeed. Great tour, as ever, Joolz.
To my taste, the best couple Holmes-Watson is performed by Ronald Howard & Howard Marion-Crawford in 1950-s "Sherlock Holmes" episodes. They are just adorable! And the movie itself is so atmospheric!
I came to this channel because I love London and wanted to improve my English! Now I love you & your tours ❤ Thank you for your great work. Many greetings from Lübeck/Germany
It's coming along very nicely
@@chriswalton4955 thank you very much 😁
Joolzy, the game's afoot! Conan Doyle was initially friendly with Houdini who explained how fraudulent mediums and spiritualists worked their tricks. Despite this Conan Doyle remained a believer and they eventually fell out over it. Conan Doyle's wife producing a long message supposedly from Houdini's dead mother in perfect English rather than Hungarian didn't help.
I wanted to include this and more but it’s always tricky trying to balance what will appeal to everyone. It’s an amazing story!
@@Joolzguides Anyone who wanted to delve deeper into Conan Doyle and Sherlock will have watched Lucy Worsley’s excellent documentary.
True. It's hard to believe that ACD could fall for such obvious trickery. BTW, Houdini was also taken aback by trance-induced mentions of Christianity and symbols of the Cross when the Weiszes were Jewish.... oops!
Another totally enjoyable episode! Your mum was certainly very proud of you and Lou.
Jeremy Brett will always be my Sherlock. Think I need to visit some of these places
How timely as I've just started rereading all the Sherlock Holmes stories - Thanks Joolz! And the best Holmes on the screen...Elementary my dear Joolz - Jeremy Brett.
Joolz's channel is the best one for those who love London, but can't afford a trip there. Or who do, and want to have a real life experience of the place. I enjoyed this video very much, and now I'm looking forward to another literary favourite: Agatha Christie.
The bizarre thing is that Holmes is the epitome of logical deduction but Conan Doyle became more and more involved with spiritualism and eventually moved to the Crowborough and the New Forest as he was convinced that woodland fairies and elves were real.
Yes, a very odd contradiction indeed.
I'm glad he didn't really incorporate spiritualism into the Holmes stories. It would have damaged Holmes' whole persona!
Splendid! A great episode, and, for me, a favorite subject. The interplay / cutting twixt you and LIL is great and adds to the overall exposition. Loved it. Do more SOON!
Thanks....we argue all the time so it's lucky I don't include those b bits! 😂
I worked in that part of London and enjoyed seeing the sights. I took my wife out for dinner at the Sherlock Holmes Pub. Upstairs was the recreation of his and Watson's digs. The foofraw at Baker Street wasn't that crazed. We had lunch at a tea shop at 221B
Another vote here for the late, great, nay awesome, Mr Jeremy Brett as the best Holmes. 👏😊❤️
I think he seems to be winning
@@Joolzguides Should have said, ‘loved the vid!’, as well. 👏🥰 (I had breakfast at Speedy’s a few years back; lovely place! So great to see it again!) 🙏❤️
Thank you for the upload joolz, hope all is well sir 👍
Basil Rathbone is my go to Sherlock Holmes.
Thank you, thank you for this film ❤❤❤ From Polish SH fan with love.
I was very pleased a number of years ago that one of William Gillette's Sherlock Holmes films was found and restored, and that I got to see it at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. That role made him quite a star.
I've never seen one!
Excellent, highly informative walk, as is the norm for Joolz. On my last trip to the Old Smoke, I saw the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street. Regrettably, I'm not an ardent fan of the series or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, so I didn't get much out of the visit, though the Holmesaphiles in my travel group did. However, I very much enjoyed the well-restored Victorian interiors and original artifacts! When time allows, I must catch up on the exploits of Homles and Watson, and find out what all that fuss is about!
Jeremy Brett was undoubtedly the best Holmes!
This was amazing!!! Loved this so much! Wish I lived in London right now! One day!
5:14 in 2011 wife and I took our first trip outside of the USA. Met up with an Internet friend that took us on a tour. At the Spot where this video is, we happened to walk through the filming production of Sherlock. We had not watched British television so we’re totally unaware of the TV series. But we got our picture at the phone booth at the spot in the that you see in the spot in the video. And it was in a season where I think someone died from a fall or something. But it’s right there in one of the most recent Cumberbatch Sherlock episodes.
Very interesting and a joy! Loved the way you both dressed the part. Jeremy Brett was Sherlock, Basil and Cumberbatch tie but Brett was fasinating! Loved that you played the music from show. This could have been longer. Well done!!
Favourite Holmes: Jules, you read my mind! Which is incredible since you recorded this long before I saw it! I agree - Basil Rathbone is *the* classic Sherlock Holmes, but the American Elementary series put wonderful twists on the premise with Lucy Liu as Dr. Jane Watson, and Natalie Dormer as Jamie Moriarty, and this Moriarty had also pretended to be Irene Adler.
Jeremy Brett is the ultimate Sherlock Holmes 👍
Joolz, this was TERRIFICALLY fun!!! Thank you!
Joolz, I have a content idea for you. Do a series on the sites of the Monopoly board. What it looked like back in the 1930's when they were chosen, what they look like now. Plus Joolz quirky bits and pieces sounds great to me
Thanks for this Joolz. Brilliant film! Now spending the afternoon watching the Cumberbatch Holmes series 😎😎😎👍
Always happy to see Jules turn up on my phone
We love your videos. This one's is great! Thx for making these. Keeping London alive for us.
Basil the great mouse detective is awesome 😂❤
These are much better to watch than the rubbish they put on regular TV. Great work Joolz. How about doing a James Bond related walk through London.
My favorite is a quirky version called "They Might Be Giants" with George C. Scott as Holmes and Joanne Woodward as his reluctant Dr. Watson. It is hard to explain, but is a gentle comedy with look at delusional insanity. It's one of my favorite nobody's ever heard of movies.
I visited the Reichenbach falls and the town of Meiringen in Switzerland, its a must for any Holmes fan and there is much to see. Really enjoyed your video, thank you.
Great video! That Sherlock actor has interesting vibes lol. Almost like a vampire, but he seems pretty chill. Much love from USA!
This was a delightful production Sir! Well done! Thank you
Great job! Grew up on Basil. Old Hollywood & old b&w tv versions are my fav.
The use of that central in-focus/ periphery blurred camera effect at the beginning is cool. Makes normal cityscapes look like models.
Hey Julian. Another great episode. I see Vasiliy Livanov's fame as Soviet Sherlock is still going strong. Thinking about a music score for this tv film along makes me tear up. Looking him up on Wikipedia made me happy for a second that the old man is still around, then I dared to read his position on current events and let me tell you, I wish I never bothered...
This is utterly one of your best ever videos! 👍
Great video! And I now have a copy of your delightful book, bought for me as a Father's Day present.
Jeremy Brett was by far the best portrayal; Basil Rathbone is next.
RDjr is next best.
Agreed.
Without equal!!
Excellent episode, saw the Ramones 4 nights in a row at the Lyceum!! both you and Louise are looking very well also 😊👍
This was one of my favorite videos of yours. We love when your sister makes an appearance. You both were wonderful as Holmes and Watson. Great fun, informative and of course beautiful London locales. Keep up the amazing work. Thanks for brightening our Sunday morning.
I met Martin Freeman at a grocery store in our small town just east of Toronto two years ago. He was so sweet and very handsome. He said he was filming close by but didn't disclose where. He was kind enough to listen to me babble on. This is a great video Joolz. I'm on my way back to London for the third time is a few weeks. It's such a brilliant city
This film is so very interesting, Joolz. Very well presented indeed, a lot of the information about Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle, I knew nothing about. The followers are keen indeed, and the locations associated are completely stunning. Many thanks for this presentation.
Love this episode ! When I first arrived in Canada from England I was living in remote place in the depths of winter and fortunately there was a library with all the Holmes stories to get me through 😉
Wonderful tour!!!! We purchased and LOVE your book!
What a wonderful video that was. Thank you Joolz
Your sidekick is great, well done! Back to your best Joolz!
Hugh Laurie plays a great version of Holmes, although they did rename him House, and Watson became Wilson, but they did keep his drug addiction.
Interesting how many fictional characters are spawned by a fictional character, isn't it? The Dr. Who inspiration theory was interesting, as well.
A superb and most entertaining guide to Sherlock Holmes' London. Joolz, you and your vivacious sister are a most entertaining double act. Thanks also for visiting Cecil Court and Watkins bookshop, a favourite stp off of mine.
A very enjoyable video to watch on a Sunday morning.
Have watched for years, Best one yet. Top hole old man.
Yaaaaay Joolz!!! So good to see you and your new video, especially because I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. I grew up reading the stories and watching the Basil Rathbone film version and later, the Benedict Cumberbach series. My son and I even made it a point to go to the Holmes Museum and have breakfast at Speedy's, during our last London visit.
My favourite Joolz episode! 🕵🏼
Sherlock Holmes and Joolz what a great Sunday evening!❤ Thank you so much! If I will ever get to London I will definitely visit all these places!
One of your best episodes! Loved it.
Outstanding and delightful. Love your book also, pre-ordered it and have it out to read often.
Joolz, Your travels are always such a pleasant way to start s Sunday morning. PIP PIP!
When I read the books again, either Jeremy Brett or Benedict Cumberbatch comes to mind. I also really enjoyed Brent Spiner as Data playing Sherlock. As a big Sherlock Holmes fan, I would like to thank you very much for sharing this beautiful, informative video 👍
Kind regards from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.
Thanks. There was a lot I missed out but there's so much to cover
I'll be visiting the UK for the first time in July and I'll be staying in the west end. I hope to see you filming.
So tickled to have you show up in my notifications yesterday. Well done!
I’ve waited for this one for a while, and while it could have been twice (thrice) as long it’s still terrific! I’ve thought about what it would take to have a personal Jools Tour of Sherlock Holmes London. I’m guessing it would be a pot of money but it would be worth it!
This video didn’t disappoint! Now I’ll wait for a part two!
great and funny video with a lot of documentation behind, as always. Great idea to bring back the london city centre
Quite charming. Thanks very much for a wonderful episode! Holmes is a favorite character. : )
You and your sister work well together.
Always entertaining and informative. Top drawer, old man.
Always a pleasure to see & hear Little Lost Lou! Another enjoyable episode!
Hi Joolz. I absolutely love your enjoyable and well produced videos. They are such fun and incredibly interesting.
The best Holmes and Watson by far, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore in their rendition of The Hound of the Baskervilles
As always - delightful, informative and compulsory viewing (and some nostalgia for my 13 years of London life some many years ago) thanks again : )
