The definitive Sherlock Holmes. No one has ever captured the character of Sherlock Holmes like Jeremy Brett.
give me time, I shall be portraying him for charity next year
Good luck.
Amen Kian. I find it impossible to re-read a Holmes story without imagining Jeremy as Sherlock. He, and the Granada show as a whole, nailed it. Until something else comes along that's as faithful to the source material/character, he's permanently in my head cast. "Sherlock" and Cumberbatch are a lot of fun but the departure they've made from the source material keeps anybody in that cast from coming to mind while reading the original stories. Which I think would be fine with Moffat/Gatiss/Cumberbatch/etc as I don't think they were ever trying to replace the literary character or any other portrayal, just trying to create something new out of the familiar.
Admiral Tug Benson I've liked John Watson's modern update because we rarely understand the reasons why he became Sherlock Holmes faithful companion. Otherwise, I've loved Jeremy Brett and Ian Richardson as Sherlock for breathing life into ACD's creation.
Admiral Tug Benson IMO Cumberbach is a good actor but falls a bit flat as holmes. Brett had such a more dynamic range, a depth and immersion into character, brought out in a very intense way
And to think Jeremy never received a BAFTA for his acting. Truly scandalous.
Agreed!
We still wish that he could get one and both dr watsons. It seems the ethical thing to do!
Just goes to show the uselessness of the institution. Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes there ever was and ever will be.
WHAT??? that almost makes me cry
@@TheMasterNinjaRyu Indeed a scandel of great proportions
Had Arthur Conan Doyle been alive to watch Brett play Holmes, he very well might have concluded that there was something paranormal in his perfection. Brett is pure magic as Holmes. The gold standard. Tragic that he didn’t live long enough to complete the canon.
I was about to comment that Conan Doyle would have found Brett’s interpretation of Holmes to be the most accurate but you beat me to it!
His daughter actually wrote to Jeremy saying he was the Sherlock Holmes of her childhood
Indeed Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes in his best portrayal! Missed him truly!
They wrapped it up before he died; they had come to the conclusion that after 10 years it was the right time, regardless of Brett's health. He was 60 at the time, they had filmed the best stories, there was no planning to go on.
Conan probably wouldn't want to talk about Holmes. He hated writing Holmes, but his finances depended on it.
Watson: "Did I really do remarkably badly?"
Holmes: ". . . ."
Holmes: ". . . ."
Holmes: "Yes."
which episode is it?
the best freinds are the most honest ones

I laughed so hard, I don't know why 😂
Jeremy Brett will always be THE Sherlock Holmes.

+Joey B. Absolutely definitive, yes
+Joey B. Exactly! I've yet to see anybody else come as close to the original stories.
+Joey B. oh indeed my good man!
Brett has been and always will be Holmes in my mind. He nails the almost manic aspect of Holmes that was lost in Cumberbatch's poise and Rathbone's sophistication.
Very well put. Sadly it helped that he suffered from depression himself
Yes it's the edgy personality he brings to d Holmes character.
@@paddypup1836 I think Brett was actually manic-depressive which explains why he portrays both the manic and moody sides of Holmes so well. He already had experience of them.
Paddy Pup depression is a pathway to many abilities... Winston Churchill also had it
@@DeltaSilver88 Yes Jeremy Brett was bipolar.
Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. He portrayed him as a brilliant, quirky, eccentric and really made the character fascinating to watch. No one will ever perfect that role like him. You can have 1,000 actors play it, Jeremy would still come out top. God bless you Jeremy and may you rest in peace.
Every second with Jeremy Brett is mesmerizing even when he doesn't speak, his face expresses such character!!!
He has extraordinary charisma.
@Qwerty123 You want different? ;-) th-cam.com/video/KeybnI6OJMQ/w-d-xo.html
Around 1:43, it's just epic Jeremy Brett.
You are right❤🙏🙋♀️
One of the best face acting ever put to film.
My biggest regret is that I never got as into Jeremy Brett's version as I am now when my granddad was still alive. He LOVED Sherlock Holmes, and Jeremy was his absolute favourite interpretation. I was only young and thought anything set in the "olden days" was boring. Then I randomly found myself watching an episode one day, and was laughing more in the first ten minutes than I ever expected to laugh at any part of it. An absolutely AMAZING performer with the perfect blend of intensity and eccentricity. Ah, well. I hope wherever he is, he's watching and can see how I miss him and how much I now love JB. 💖
I share your feelings for Jeremy, his portrayal of Holmes is beyond amazing, he was an incredible man, a great actor and when he died my heart was broken, I had read he had health issues but I didn't know he was close to death. I am happy that Jeremy had a son, David Huggins, Huggins was Jeremy's actual last name to carry on the bloodline. I'm now watching the entire series of Sherlock Holmes from 1984 to 1994, I find myself laughing and crying as I watch his performances. The show was so well produced, the cast was expertly picked and the modified script only added to the original stories. Everything, the railroad cars and engines, the horses and buggies, the old architecture, the in era clothing and so much more brought life to each episode, it led you to believe you were watching scenes from the late 1800's or at least it visually looked that way. Jeremy gave me an appreciation of how a self respecting man should behave, with class, how to dress and present himself. I realize he was just playing a part but I believe a part of Jeremy's own personality was incorporated into ACD's Holmes which only enhanced the character. I will miss and admire Jeremy until I pass. Rest well Jeremy, you are loved and missed by millions, God has you now.
He is the greatest sherlock Holmes. His passion for the character was so apparent.
Jeremy Brett never gets the recognition he truly deserves. No one could ever play such a part with more conviction, he is simply the master.
And missed very much.
Basil Rathbone in the 30s-40s was an excellent Sherlock Holmes, but unfortunately his films did not stick to the cannon.
@@sextoncardew903 Sure but he still was under the Jeremy brett portrayal even if you ignore not cannon films, because Brett had the most depth than any other Sherlock Holmes protrayal in any movie or in any tv series and that's a fact. None could have into the depth of Shelrock Holkmes character like Jeremy Brett did, andf that list includes Basil Rathbone.
& he looked d part too. It will be difficult for other actors to better his portrayal.
@@Apeironization1 Shelrock Holkmes sounds like some Nordic Holmes knockoff. 😂
@@DeltaSilver88 Brett looks like exactly like from the original novels and original stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Jeremy Brett is the ultimate Sherlock Holmes: the master of the character.
7 dislikes ... so it seems that Moriarty and his men are still around
Garrett Shade Moriarty* :>
Colonel Sebastian Moran!
😀😀😀
And they are more now.
He looks so young and charming on 1:42, and his intermittent smile is impossibly beautiful
Brett captured the character of Holmes completely, he was such a great actor with a beautiful voice and wonderful diction.
WOW!! "My mind rebels at stagnations" Such a powerful statement! "I abhor the dull routine of existence". Brett delivered that amazingly! 👍👌
Jeremy Brett as Sherlock is a genius, plain and simple, a genius.
I agree 100%!
JB was a consummate actor and turned into Holmes as if it were an alternate personality. Brilliant.
Jeremy Brett was the true master at playing Sherlock.
"its quite a three pipe problem"....
I watch his videos everyday while working at my computer, I have no idea why I'm so drawn to his portrayal of Holmes but I know I'll never get bored of watching them.
Thank you Jeremy for giving us such a master class in acting,.
because he gives us all so much joy watching him!
In the BBC Sherlock, they reference that line in the first episode with Cumberbatch's Sherlock using nicotine patches.
What pipe is he smoking during this line?
Sherlock dont talk to me In 50 mins
I love how some of the humor comes from ACD's original dialogue, some from the screenwriters, but most of it is from the acting/delivery.
"Would you please join me...in the call of 'Fire!'"
I miss Jeremy. RIP.
Rationality held captive by an emotional abyss;
Brett was the most perfect rendition of Holmes there's ever been.
He personally was like the character.
I have to say, I've loved Sherlock Holmes my entire life. Read the books when I was in middle school. I think Benedict Cumberbatch is utterly superb as Sherlock, but where, oh where have I been all my life that I never before watched Jeremy Brett? He is perfect!
JohnnyDeppFan1433 Hi JohnnyDeppFan1433.. You deserve a house, for free.
An extremely talented actor who managed to really bring Holmes to life in all his intense, charismatic glory!
Cumberbatch does Holmes, Jeremy Brett IS Holmes!
Now you can see that Benedict is good but Jeremey was superb
House MD is my favorite version.
"FIRE!!!!!!!"
"....f-fire...."
"-We can do better than that"
I honestly had to pause the video because I couldn't stop laughing
HE SOUNDS SO VERY DISAPPOINTED!

What's the title of that story?
@@daveandrewmartinez2545 , 'the Norwood builder'. I so adore Jeremy Brett. He is exquisite...
Jeremy Brett as Holmes "Pure Class " no one else plays him as well as him A true feast for the senses R.I.P Jeremy
Jeremy Brett as Sherlock is one of my All time favorite performances in Cinema and Tv. And yes Benedict Cumberbatch did well. But i wouldn`t even dare to compare it to Brett..
I've always had reservations with Cumberbatch and his d@mned smart phone ... I'd actually like to snatch it away from him and shatter it over the top of his head. But then, I get the same urge with a lot of people ....
@@harpomarx7777 What we call the malady of modern gadgets producing many walking smartphone zombies. (Actually, nowadays youngsters have trouble of stiff shoulders, bad postures, inflammation in wrists and hands due to using long hours of PC and smartphones. )
I wish BBC version of Sherlock could have been the opposite of tech-savvy. It'd have been great if BBC Sherlock was a fellow Luddite.
1:45 My daughter (12y) said about Mr Brett: "He looks like a Disney Prince" :-)))
Toth K. he did esp younger
His smile is like sunshine. :)
👱👯👼👸👰😍😍
I actually see a Disney villain since his face reminds me of Frollo. 😂
I do have a little crush on him, too =D
"I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes."
So many superb lines!
Jeremy Brett is to Sherlock Holmes what Timothy Dalton is to James Bond: originally stage actors of the highest calibre, they fully understood every aspect of their characters and granted us a look into their very soul.
Brilliant, brilliant British acting.
Jeremy Brett and his portrayal of Holmes is beyond amazing, he was an incredible man, a great actor and when he died my heart was broken, I had read he had health issues but I didn't know he was close to death.

Wow. Your words captured 100% how most of us feel in our hearts for Jeremy Brett and the entire series ❤
No one can ever portray the character of Sherlock Holmes like Jeremy Brett.
benedict cumberbatch was also very good as holmes in the reimagined modern world version of holmes not to detract from Brett
Good compilation. For me, the two best Jeremy Brett moments are the end of "The Copper Beeches" after he tells Watson that he defers to his taste, the look on Holmes' face is hilarious; and the end of "The Six Napoleons" when he shows such depth of emotion wordlessly as Lestrade tells him that Scotland Yard is proud of him.
I rather think that among the many things Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes share in common is that everyone has "their" Sherlock.. and while I definitely enjoy Benedict Cumberbatch, I have to say Jeremy Brett is "my" Sherlock.
There is no one like Jeremy Brett and never will be again. His grace, charm, and elegance cannot be imitated.
No one has ever ever come close to the late amazing great and totally the best sherlock Holmes called Jeremy Brett ! ❤
The definitive Sherlock Holmes. No one has ever captured the character of Sherlock Holmes like Jeremy Brett. Love You Sir.
I could so very easily find myself indulging in these episodes -over and over again- for no less than an eternity! As the late, Jeremy Brett, was in real life such a "grand person", so too, was his incomparable portrayal of, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's keen-minded super-sleuth, Sherlock Holmes!
Jeremy Brett is literally the best and definitive Sherlock, every time I read the books I picture Sherlock as Jeremy Brett
He was and still is the best Sherlock Holmes. Never ever be another like him. It's as if he was born to play him.
Jeremy Brett is Holmes. No one else captured him better. Good job on this...thanks!
Jeremy Brett is Timeless!!!!
3:42 great moment by Jeremy, calm excited professional manner of kindly asking the guards to shout fire only for him to call it out loudly and to reprimand them on their performance right afterwards is amazing
"Watson, that is a very loose translation". HA!
🤣
Once in a lifetime, you meet someone that is your half, and that rewards you with the grace of a smile or a kind word. Jeremy gave us his version of a Sherlock trapped on his brilliant mind, on the edge of everything, trying to find an escape to his boreness, to vulgarity... Deffinetly the most brilliant and breathe taking Sherlock Ever. Thank you Jeremy for gracefully give us this kind smile At us. Greetings from Portugal.
The delivery, when he says “it’s a wicked world. And when a clever man turns his brain to crime, it’s the worst if all” is just incredible. What a great actor!
Bravo on having exquisite taste in Holmes material. By far the best portrayal.
I proceeded to read this sentence as Jeremy Brett because of your profile photo.
I've just started watching Jeremy as Serlock Homes on my DVD complete box set, (a present) for the umpteenth time. My favourite Serlock Holmes.
Amazing cast too.
Jeremy Brett is the one. No doubt. The way he stares, sighs. Everything. He is the Sherlock Holmes that you portray in your mind while reading the novel. Best of best. I m not even in my 20s but i like the one too much. Like old is gold.
He is brilliant as Sherlock Holmes, as i read the stories I picture him in my mind version.
He is the best Sherlock Holmes!
These Granada Productions were very faithful to the stories. For decades since the beginning of film Holmes fans were waiting for these superlative expositions. Jeremy Brett was everything needed and more. The production values, the sets and the other actors Burke, Hardwicke et al brought the stories to life perfectly. The beauty of all this is that now any director or actors hired to have a go at the Holmes stories do not have to compete as it has already been done. So now they are free to experiment. The Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman productions were great. I hope they do more. Long live our appreciation and enjoyment of Jeremy Brett, we were lucky to have shared time on this planet with such a great actor.
Well said! Other people could experiment with Mr. Holmes' adventures because there already exists a faithful adaptation. I do love Sherlock BBC and their stories and cast, because I know their Sherlock is slightly different from Jeremy Brett's Mr. Holmes; both are different and well done in their own ways!
Jeremy Brett’s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is Mesmerizing. He IS Sherlock Holmes. I’ve watch him hundreds of times. Never tire of these episodes. One scene in Dr Watson’s Surgery in “the empty house” when Sherlock re-emerges is my very favorite Sherlock moment. “A thousand apologies, my dear Watson …”
Conan Doyle created him. Brett brought him to life.
He pulled Sherlock off the pages and gave him the breath of life! What a tribute to his genius that +23yrs after his death, so many people still sing his praises. Gone too soon. RIP Jeremy Brett🙏
i just hope some old man comes to my office and tell go get some books from the desk
and when i turn around i see jeremy brett and says "do you mind if i spare a cigarette in your office ?"
.. i miss jeremy brett
Every actor expresses well some aspect of the Sherlock Holmes mythos. Jeremy Brett focused on the character himself, the darkness, the pain of a powerful mind, the torment that the only serious use was in tackling evil - giving him only bleakness and horror to look forward to. I think Brett showed that the seven percent solution was not just the mundane aspects of life but that Holmes' every waking moment was spent in a nightmare or craving one because the pauses were worse, and that the nightmares were devouring him.
Under such conditions, what's a little irritation? Particularly as nobody becomes a doctor or a scientist if they're not quite capable of observation, deduction and differential diagnosis. Indeed Conan Doyle based his methods on the practices of both. His bumbling detectives are products of his experience with actual detectives who attempted to destroy his career by slander, threats and intimidation, so we can take it as read that detectives of the time deserved every bit of his venom.
As such, all the detectives and both the Watsons are superb in themselves. Watson has his moments and is portrayed as someone who conscientiously tries to practice what he has been taught, albeit not that well. Holmes' frustration comes from knowing Watson could do better. The dynamics between the actors shows this tension magnificently.
For these dynamics and inner workings, Jeremy Brett and the remainder of the cast are absolutely superb. The writers and producers, not so much - Jeremy Brett had to put them in their place and threatened to quit a few times if they wouldn't stop interfering. His strength and presence make those interventions possible and gave us a rendition that was infinitely superior to the watered-down amateur dramatics version originally planned.
"The Goose! The Goose, Mr. Holmes! What of it, man? Has it come back to life and flapped off through the kitchen window?" That line never fails to bring a smile to my face and always makes me laugh.
What hurts the most is that i can never look forward to new episodes or seasons which would have Jeremy Brett in it :( very hurtful :( Jeremy, people still want more of you. We probably couldn't get enough of you :)
I very much regret that Mister Brett died September 12, 1995, of heart failure. Rest In Peace.
Emerald Grace I feel your pain.
Reading your tribute with a teary eye...
I can't watch My Fair Lady anymore without seeing Sherlock Holmes
Then you will LOVE his portrayal of Mr. Dewinter in Rebecca and as Lord Goring in An Ideal Husband...
Jeremy Brett was offered the role of James Bond at one time. Can you imagine him delivering 'Bond. James Bond' in that fabulous voice he had? Opportunity missed.
The only person I’ve ever seen actually BE Sherlock and take it to new heights. What an artist!
I loved that! Jeremy cannot be beaten as my favorite Sherlock, in fact I only think of him usually, if someone mentions something about Sherlock Holmes. One of my quotations from him is when Dr. Grimesby Roylette finally storms out and he says, "What a very amiable person!" and "Thank you Mrs. Hudson, just another client."
Then there's "Watson, you have a blazing talent for stating the obvious." "I feel you have erred (the way he pronounces that, as if to rub it in on Watson for the way he writes up their adventures). I love it when he asks Dr. Huxtable to forgive him for rummaging through his pockets while the good professor had been passed out,,,, then he says, "It is not often that so notable a person as yourself is beached upon my hearth's rug."
And finally, in The Devil's Foot, Watson says something to Holmes, like "I'm sure the police will be in attendance and have begun to form their own conclusion." to which Sherlock says, "However erroneous they may be." that one cracks me up.
A mon avis, Jeremy Brett a été Sherlock Holmes lui-même !!! C'est vraiment incroyable que quelqu'un puisse interpréter ce personnage si magnifique, si génial comme cet acteur extraordinaire. L'interprétation de Basil Rathbone était excellente, c'est vrai sans aucune doute, mais Brett était UNIQUE AU MONDE !!
Jeremy Brett really did do the best at capturing the personality of the Holmes in the books.
Not that most people have actually READ THE BOOKS.
Edd Jones
Kudos and congratulations to you then. I applaud.
Jace Roberts
Read zem all. HUE HUE HUE. If you are a book worm, book reader, or book eater, you HAVE TO read Holmes. If you want to learn and gain wisdom you have to read Holmes, Tsun Tzu's Art of War, among few other books.
mindsoulbody
I LOVE the Art of War!! To tell the truth I've been thinking of reading through it again. :D You guys have no idea how happy it makes me to know that there actually are other people out there who read books.
i have
re-reading sherlock holmes
"Your conversation is MOST interesting! If you would please close the door. On your way OUT."

Just watched the Solitary Cyclist tonight!
Watson: Did I really do remarkably badly?
*Holmes turns away as if to ask a nonexistent person if Watson is seriously asking the question just posed*
Holmes: Yes!

Oh lord I remember having the biggest crush on Jeremy Brett when I was around 13, 5 years later and I still find him just as mesmerising 😅😅.
Ellie Louise Join the club 😂👍
Lexi Wolfe glad to be a member 😂😂
Jeremy Brett's line readings were sublime, but his wordless moments I find equally stunning. That whistle from "The Resident Patient" in your last clip is priceless. I wonder if it was an ad lib? It certainly stole the scene right out from under Nick Clay's dramatic declaration.
AND YET - it wasn't too much! You couldn't really accuse him of scene-stealing because he's both completely in character and isn't being all OTT 'Look at me!' about it! I would have loved to have seen him onstage
@@LexiWolfeactress No, the whistle is almost under-playing. And it's so unexpected, especially after Dr. Trevelyan's almost melodramatic announcement.. The whistle seems somehow American (I am an American). I thought it was Jeremy's ad lib, but I looked it up and it's in the Conan Doyle story.
it's in the story but he chose to portray in that particular way, so perfect.
One of the best actors ever. I loved him so much and miss him very much 😢❤
for me hes was the quintessential Mr Sherlock Holmes ,such a brilliant tv series Jeremy played the part well
"You have the grand gift of silence, Watson. It makes you invaluable as a companion."
Jeremy Brett - certainly the best Sherlock Holmes there was, is, and will be. He truly was a master, especially in this role.
I was watching a Jeremy Irons film today and was commenting to my wife on how he reminded me of the great Jeremy Brett. She said, "who is Jeremy Brett ?" I said, "you're joking right ?" "Only the greatest Sherlock Holmes there has ever been and ever will be." Others will play Holmes, but Jeremy Brett WAS Holmes. WHAT CLASS !! Bless you Jeremy...I miss you.
What a inspiration Brett is, will never ever think he has passed on.
The best Holmes ever!!!
Indobedably!
inconceivable!
Officer: Mr. Holmes--The goose, the goose Mr. Holmes!
Sherlock Holmes: What of it, man? Has it come back to life and flapped off to the kittchen window?!
Officer: N-no, no sir.
OMG XD LOL!! That totally cracked me up!
LMAO, you beat me to it!

Vladpryde Every human being is everything.. this means that a refugee in the Ukraine is the nihilism caused by looking at encyclopaedias, or that the hairdresser is a wrestler, or, that during the Battle of Hastings, Beyoncé was performing live.. because every human being is everything (including Anne Boleyn, and Neil Armstrong), every human being deserves free housing.
Thomas h cullen
......okay then.
But we're admiring Jeremy Brett and Sherlock Holmes on this video. Not free housing.
I absolutely adore Brett as Sherlock Holmes. He is the perfect embodiment of the Great Detective. While I've enjoyed other "incarnations" only Jeremy Brett is Holmes. He is, to me, forever, The Man.
YES- he IS "THE" best Sherlock Holmes-- in every way.. Wish he could have lived long enough to finish his plans-- they were to produce MORE!!!
My favorite, when Homes arrives at a meeting first: "Why, you're early, Mr. Homes!" to which he replies:
"It is often the case with punctuality".
No disrespect to other actors who have played the role but Jeremy Brett is the GOAT....he IS Sherlock Holmes. Just brilliant.
Every time I read a Sherlock Holmes novel, it's Jeremy Brett's voice I hear whenever Holmes speaks.
From the day I first watched him to today, this man is the voice I hear when I read the stories of Sherlock Holmes.
"Ha!" 😅 Love this man
Never has genius been portrayed so masterfully
Jeremy Brett is definitely "the one and only...". Sherlock Holmes.
📌This dialogue is just pure class, and combined with the delivery of a master, you end up with a legendary performance.
I believe Jeremy Brett was the best actor I have ever seen to play the role of Sherlock Holmes.
1:44 The way he starts baring his teeth like a cat that's getting ready to pounce on its prey is AMAZING!
The greatest portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.
Every problem is absurdly simple when it is explained to you..pop pop pop pop 😂🤣
Anybody else get chills just from the theme?
No other actor even comes close to Jeremy Brett. He is the quintessential Holmes.
Jeremy Brett put his heart and soul into the character of Sherlock Holme
So painful to see Jeremy's decline during this series. We are all fortunate to have been entertained by him.
Untouchable in the role. The eye flick at 0:28 !
Such a great actor he is Sherlock Holmes himself RIP dear Jeremy Brett ❤
Jeremy Brett will always and forever be "The" Sherlock Holmes. He is as true to the books as can be humanly possible. For the sake of argument, I would rank the rest as
1. Jeremy Brett
2. Benedict Cumberbatch
3. Basil Rathbone
4. Peter Cushing
5. Robert Stephens
6. Jonny Lee Miller
7. Douglas Wilmer
8. Robert Downey, Jr.
9. Christopher Lee
10. Ronald Howard
Jack McCullough Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Rathbone's portrayal immensely. Before Brett, Rathbone's Holmes was largely considered to be the definitive take on the role, which is an opinion shared by many - even the writers of Sherlock. To my own personal tastes, however flawed they may appear, Rathbone was too warm, too friendly. The vision of Holmes I took away from the books was of a character who was strange, aloof, cold, and blunt. Something that Cumberbatch captures, at least in the first two series.
You forgot Vasily Livanov. For me he is number 3 after Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch...
perfect! ^^
Moser Gray Honorable mention to Data from Star Trek
You forgot Richard Roxburgh.
Rest in Peace Dear Jeremy 🙁
You missed one: "Holmes: I was trying to recollect as vividly as I could, the concert, we attended last night. Watson: But you were grinding your teeth. Holmes: That's because I made a slight error ...", with the third movement of Beethoven's violin concerto in the background..Ahh tranquil.
Watching this again....and again....and again....i believe this is my fav vid so far!
Jeremy Brett is the the real and true Sherlock for me.
