Somehow, Brett seems to convey a background in stage acting, while at the same time taking full advantage of the ability of film to capture subtleties in sound and expression. He mixes grand gestures with extremely slight mannerisms. He is simply mesmerizing to watch.
His grand gestures and movements inspired by his theatre work might have appeared ridiculous but instead he manages to have them reinforce the idea of Holmes as a special sort of eccentric.
Brett's Holmes is dual natured: A self controlled addict. Icy cold yet compassionate. Restrained yet Prone to outburst. A lover of both art and science. A man with a great sense of justice who looks the other way. A man of a million interests who is prone to boredom. A man of facts who relies on imagination. A man who feeds his mind while starving his body. etc. etc. etc... I watched this Brett/Holmes series when it originally aired in the 80's and have been an addict ever since. I have found no antidote, replacement nor equal.
Since Jeremy Brett died in 1995, I think his Holmes must be described in the past tense. Was he a complete oxymoron, or a renaissance man for his age, or a renaissance man who came into fruition in Britain toward the end of Queen Victoria reign over what was a vast Empire?
I agree 💯 I was glued to the screen those days!!! But i must say Sherlock Holmes Series by Benedict Cumberbatch is perfection of our times, having a Sherlock in our world❤️ The Way he do the Beneadict!! So Well played! John “the Hobbit” plays so Well! Mycroft Holmes! Just Wow! Irene Adler??? Wooo so sexy next to the 80’ Series🥰 I Will not compare the versions decades apart! By any means! But Benedict Cumberbatch does the perfect job of the Modern Sherlock!!! I really enjoy these Old episodes of the Old fashion Sherlock! Every period of Sherlock is made so Well! Even the older versions, match the time and What you expect of Sherlock! ❤️ Love Them all - Kind Regards another Sherlockian😎
At 37:18 "JOHN!" Something I never would have expected to come out of the mouth of Sherlock Holmes. A simple calling out of a man's name, but also the acknowledgement of years of friendship. A simple expression that says; "Oh, thank God it's YOU! I've come back! I see YOU! My friend! My FRIEND, you're HERE, thank God!" Nobody but a true aficionado of Holmes could appreciate the depth of that simple "JOHN".
A turning point in this series occurs at 8:07 when Holmes spills out his vial of cocaine and buries the hypodermic on the beach. Jeremy Brett had the scene deliberately written into this episode as he had become increasingly concerned with depicting Holmes' addiction, which he felt inappropriate for a character seen by children as a hero. He consulted with Dame Jean Doyle, the daughter of Arthur Conan-Doyle, and the Doyle estate before having the scene written in.
Dr Watson is a truly faithful and loyal friend, even in the face of possible lunacy and death. Much credit when he could have easily left, he chose to stay to ensure the safety of Holmes.
Like how in the G4 My Little Pony movie both Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo/Muffins and Rainbow Dash both risk everything to get Twilight Sparkle out of harm's way. Dashie gets Twilight out of the way and She of Many Names takes the bullet.
I think this is Brett at his finest, nobody else could have played this part. No other actor can or could ever have played sherlock Holmes the way he did. A genius 👍
“Watson, you are coming along marvellously”. Brett was a national treasure - these are iconic, wonderful dramatisations which stand the test of time. I saw them as a child and repeatedly turn to them again - now living, by chance, across from the house in which Brett died - sadly before his time. A lovely man by all accounts. Rest well, sir.
As an aside, if anyone visits London and is interested, there is a park bench dedicated to Brett on Clapham Common near his house. Many happy hours spent with friends and family starting with the question - “Shall we take a bottle of wine to Jeremy’s bench?” . We always raise a glass in his honour.
Brett was the 3rd Holmes iteration I was introduced to. RDJ and Cumberbatch came first. When my grandparents introduced me to his Sherlock and this iteration of Watson, their rendition blew me away. I've been binge watching them nonstop and I dread the day I run out. All of the people involved in this show were a treasure. This show itself is a treasure and has helped me through a dark time. They all earned their rest. I hope the ones still alive are safe and taken care of.
I always liked this story. It was a good stand alone story and the setting is very dark. I like that even though Holmes needed rest...what really brings him back to good health is being mentally stimulated and solving a case. Top 10 for me. The Brett series was first class all the way.
yep, I'm a fan of this idea, too. It shows all morons that humans are designed to create and act all the time, instead of procrastinating and being lazy. And this statement comes from a dude who can win all procrastination and laziness contests in the world :( Also, the same theme exists in Poirot's movie, Evil Under the Sun. He gets recommended a small, secluded corner of paradise in which he must rest for 2 weeks to recover mentally and to replenish energetically and when he gets there he stumbles upon serial killers, drug dealers and scammers. Funny stuff :)
It's astonishing to think that Brett created such a textured and layered character when the best known previous version was that of Basil Rathbone. Brett's version is wonderfully unique, daring, and reimagined.
(Iras granddaughter 14) My father started me out on Basil Rathbone. He then found Brett. Now i've watched all Basil Rathbone and almost all Jermy Brett. Sherlock is the best detective of all times!!! I admire him more than anything in the world.
@@iraidakhaimova3332 You are being raised well, my compliments to your father. When I was 14, these Brett series had not quite come out yet, but I was reading the Conan Doyle Holmes mysteries, due to my love of the Rathbone movies which my father had introduced to me a few years earlier when I was perhaps 11. Then when I was about 16 the Brett series began, and it provided many more hours of wonderfully shared time between me and my father watching Brett embody the character like no one had ever before. So I can relate to your experience. What is your favorite Brett episode? Mine is, *"The Second Stain".*
Holmes experience with the Devil's Foot is still lodged in my memory many years later. What a horrible way to die. Such a legendary show with a legendary duo.
@@ChibiPanda8888 Holmes actually never uses Watson's first name in the books, this was something added, which is interesting considering how the use of the first name in the late 19th/early 20th centuries was usually reserved for immediate family and spouses
@@samsabia2216 that's true. I don't ever recall in my many times of reading the books over the years Holmes ever saying Watson's first name. I suppose it could also apply to intimate friends one has known for many years because there was one episode of Granada's Holmes (Man With the Twisted Lip) where Watson's friend's wife (who I assume he has known for quite a while) calls him "John".
The use of first name in late Victorian time is actually quite common, and it's very alright for intimate friends to address each other by their first name. But Holmes and Watson were just so educated that they've never done so. This little addition of the film is really lovely
As other commentators have pointed out, this manner in which this poison acts is very similar to that of LSD-25, which was discovered circa 1938 by a Swiss researcher. It is also worth pointing out that, in thid version of this particular episode, Holmes apparently gives up his use of cocaine, at least partly due to Watson's influence!
Love Brett as Sherlock, great actor 🥰, meanwhile, hes so passionate and naturally humorous (best quality) about his every move, im guessing they must of done several takes cause they probably were having such a blast filming. 👍👍🐈⬛️🥰⚘️
I'm really pleased that Your Daily Brew is allowing comments. Reallly nice to see Damien Thomas in this episode. I always thought his role as Father Alvito in Shogun to be outstanding. He looked and acted the part so well.
Yes, I always loved Basil R. as Holmes, but after watching Brett's portrayal it's a tossup. Each actor put his unique stamp on this timeless character.
The character of Sherlock Holmes is reasonably tremendous incredible and remarkably acted by Sir Jeremy Brett. I have watched quite a few of his films. Fantastic.
Splendid and almost terrifying episode! Watson here is played by Edward Hardwicke, son of Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Watson to Basil Rathbone’s Holmes. A sweet grace note.
Fun fact, the scene where Sherlock buries his coccane needle was done with the approval of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's family as the series had garnered a considerable child audience.
@Angry Young Man Vanquisher of Tyranny Do you actually KNOW any white people? Obviously not. You should change your handle to 'Spiteful Young Man Vanquished By Mindless Hatred'.
I LOVE ALL OF THESE WITH JEREMY BRETT.IVE BEEN WATCHING THESE SINCE DAY ONE.IM 76 NOW IN 2022.THEY WERE DONE SO WELL AND BRING BACK WONDERFUL MEMORIES FROM ALL THOSE YEARS GONE BY.THANK YOU FOR POSTING.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🕯☕️🫖🛌💤
@@msatxgault560 Yes,you are right! I am of Sicilian decent! And,I think that Wallace is English! Have a nice evening! I hope that you enjoyed this film.😘
The only thing that worries me... is that the next time someone lit that murderous lamp in the Tregallis drawing room - the lamp that Holmes left HALF the burned, and unburned, poison on! - the "Devil's Foot Root" would be unleashed to kill again!😱I'm fully aware that It's only a work of fiction... but still! Mike D.
The murderer really had a piece of bad luck. Not only did he commit the deed before Sterndale actually left for Africa, but he also committed it when the greatest criminal detective of all time happened to be in the neighborhood and was sure to look into it. Not a bright fellow.
My Favorite and finest Actor to portray Holmes impeccably and just as the man he Sir Arthur Conan created on written page. Thank you for posting such addictive and relishing content.
In my opinion Jeremy Brett was the greatest Sherlock Holmes after Rathbone. There are many that have played Holmes and very well (Peter Cushing comes to mind) but Brett personified Holmes in a way that I've never seen. Excellent 👍
I like Ronald Howard better than rathbone. Can’t see what was so special in his version of the role. .. no one can compare to Brett’s Sherlock . My nr 2 is cumberbatch. Wonderfully modernized ,I’m my opinion by the brilliant mark gatis! Even if the stories are modernized , he really interprets the role with the same glimpses of icy cold intelligence, complete oblivion to some issues, partial insanity and wonderful sharp arrogance ,as mr Brett does😅 Both wonderful methode actors!!!
i understand people have *'rights'* & *'different opinions'* but *13 people* needs to updated their evaluations rather than simply clicking the *dislike button* *(atleast for the remarkable late "mr.jeremy brett")*
I like the fact Dr. Watson is portrayed I would imagine more accurately in this series than the dufus character created by Nigel Bruce, to no fault of his own, I've seen him in other character roles and he was wonderful
As Holmes has said..he is not engaged to make up for the shortcomings of the official force. Therefore he is not obliged to bring the perp before the law.
I was wondering what became of Brett, and why we had not heard of him in other roles as well. An extraordinary actor, and likely wise soul who knew what is important in art and life, ie honesty...and decency. Sad to see that he left this world before his time..I would have loved to have seen him in various Shakespeare roles , to start with...Oberon, Prospero would have been so interesting in his version, Hamlet a natural, the Richards...Angelo. To start with only...
Hard to say is my favorite Holmes, Brett is up there, both Watsons are interchangeable in this series, you can remember who is who. I was able to get both of their autographs.
*I just loved this series when it came out on television, and have rewatched most of episodes multiple times* *These productions, in every single episode are by far the single most faithful in re-creating the sets to be as accurate as possible to the 'vibe' of the time, sets, wardrobe, language etc etc of the time, truly sumptious in every respect*
As an oldster, I grew up watching old Basil Rathbone as Holmes movies...so he remains my favorite. But if Brett's Holmes was all I could ever watch of Holmes, I would surely be satisfied.
Jeremy Brett was an excellent Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Watson was excellent too.These guys did there own thing, a completely different kind of Holmes and Watson. They were great.
This is one of my favorites!! We really can't imagine all the poisons the tribes in Africa or the Aborigines in Australia who communicate telepathically have!!! Read the book "The Call of Australia", which is a bestseller. Greetings from Zagreb, Croatia!! 🌬️🌀🌌🙏🏻
Thank you once again for posting this remarkable TV series. Fwiw, Brett's input into this powerfully fascinating episode is online and quite interesting re: Holmes stopping his habit. Definitely my Top 5 of the batch. Plus, sure I'm not alone in feeling extra affection towards both leads re: Watson and Holmes kinship. (When Holmes called him by his first name, especially.)
one of the more interesting plots and episodes. I really enjoyed this one :) Also, I think Mrs Potter is the same actress as Mrs. Eliza Dunn from Poirot's first movie, The Clapham Cook. She's got to be the same actress... EDIT: also, I liked Holmes' quote "each, separately, is suggestive, together they are conclusive". Such a good quote!
It's the same actress - Freda Dowie, died about two years ago when she was 91! If you really want to impress your friends, she was also in "I, Claudius", as Caligula's wife, Ceasonia .
@@tnecklover I've got no friends to impress (always been a solitary guy), but thanks for the trivia. You never know when it comes in handy :) Have you watched the Poirot series, by the way?
@@tnecklover yep. Poirot is one of my favorite movies (well, series) of all time. But that doesn't mean that I don't like Sherlock Holmes, as well. It's just that Poirot is a better constructed character in my opinion. And don't worry, you don't have to reply to this message cause I wasn't trying to make conversation. I just felt like letting this piece of info out, that's all :) Cheers!
This is hands down my favorite representation of Sherlock Holmes. Having read all the stories it's what I saw in my head when I was reading the books. Basil Rathbone has nothing on Jeremy Brett! When it comes to the newer adaptations in modern movies they don't even come close!
He also "wears" it in The Musgrave Ritual. Both touching and funny. He throws it off as soon as he is on a case, though, forgetting everything but the puzzle before him.
One of my favorite SH stories. Sherlock got to do a drug other than his usual coke and opiates hahahahaha . The devils foot was Altered states before acid was invented . Today I've seen in others the same affects , but less extreme , work on the fear receptors of the brain in K2.
It took me a while, which it shouldn't have, but I've really warmed up to Brett as Holmes. He is downright perfect in the role and it is really too bad that he has left us! In this episode, I guess he hadn't yet come across Irene Adler...

You are so right. A most incredible actor who left us way too soon. I can no longer picture anyone else as Sherlock Holmes.
He is my favorite Sherlock Holmes ❤️
His grand gestures and movements inspired by his theatre work might have appeared ridiculous but instead he manages to have them reinforce the idea of Holmes as a special sort of eccentric.
Extremely well said.
Nice observation.
Brett's Holmes is dual natured:
A self controlled addict.
Icy cold yet compassionate.
Restrained yet Prone to outburst.
A lover of both art and science.
A man with a great sense of justice who looks the other way.
A man of a million interests who is prone to boredom.
A man of facts who relies on imagination.
A man who feeds his mind while starving his body.
etc. etc. etc...
I watched this Brett/Holmes series when it originally aired in the 80's and have been an addict ever since. I have found no antidote, replacement nor equal.
Accurate description. Well done.
Well said.
Since Jeremy Brett died in 1995, I think his Holmes must be described in the past tense.
Was he a complete oxymoron, or a renaissance man for his age, or a renaissance man who came into fruition in Britain toward the end of Queen Victoria reign over what was a vast Empire?
Well put. Your words do him justice.

Jeremy Brett is by far my favorite Sherlock. "I thought I knew my Watson" is one of the sweetest yet understated compliments Holmes has ever said.
so cute
At 37:18 "JOHN!"
Something I never would have expected to come out of the mouth of Sherlock Holmes. A simple calling out of a man's name, but also the acknowledgement of years of friendship. A simple expression that says; "Oh, thank God it's YOU! I've come back! I see YOU! My friend! My FRIEND, you're HERE, thank God!"
Nobody but a true aficionado of Holmes could appreciate the depth of that simple "JOHN".
So true - when he always calls his friend and ally Watson otherwise.
A turning point in this series occurs at 8:07 when Holmes spills out his vial of cocaine and buries the hypodermic on the beach. Jeremy Brett had the scene deliberately written into this episode as he had become increasingly concerned with depicting Holmes' addiction, which he felt inappropriate for a character seen by children as a hero. He consulted with Dame Jean Doyle, the daughter of Arthur Conan-Doyle, and the Doyle estate before having the scene written in.
"I saw no one!" "That is what you may expect to see when I follow you." 😂
Dr Watson is a truly faithful and loyal friend, even in the face of possible lunacy and death. Much credit when he could have easily left, he chose to stay to ensure the safety of Holmes.

2024 and same loving it so far 😊
Brett as Holmes and Suchet as Poirot, are 2 of my favorite detective dramas of all time. Although my love of Basil Rathbone as Sherlock rates high
Too many of the Poirot episodes are quite bad due to poor writing and sometimes eccentric direction. The standard of Granada Holmes is higher.
I have to agree John. I love watching them both play those respective characters.
Suchet is the man!

I like the fact Dr. Watson is portrayed I would imagine more accurately in this series than the dufus character created by Nigel Bruce, to no fault of his own, I've seen him in other character roles and he was wonderful
"Put your faith in the known and tangible..."
Excellent counsel from Dr. Watson.
Yeah but the known and tangible shall pass away, only the Spirit/spirit left.
The known, and tangible,... Require no faith. Watson engages in sophistry per usual. 73 SK
@@staffmember8415 one of the great things about Watson, tks, 73
Counsel
@@christheghostwriter Thanks!
I knew that Jeremy Brett played Count Dracula in a touring group. Would love to have seen that role
As Holmes has said..he is not engaged to make up for the shortcomings of the official force. Therefore he is not obliged to bring the perp before the law.
37:17 My name is John and every single time I see that scene I like to imagine Brett is screaming my name to my face
I was wondering what became of Brett, and why we had not heard of him in other roles as well. An extraordinary actor, and likely wise soul who knew what is important in art and life, ie honesty...and decency. Sad to see that he left this world before his time..I would have loved to have seen him in various Shakespeare roles , to start with...Oberon, Prospero would have been so interesting in his version, Hamlet a natural, the Richards...Angelo. To start with only...
He actually played Hamlet in early years! I wish it was avaiable, even if he believed it wasn't a good performance
And He can Sing too. Amazing artist.
He played many other roles before Holmes. He never finished the Sherlock Holmes stories because he died.
That was a good one and we got to see some of the ruggedly beautiful Cornish coastline where my paternal ancestors are from.
holmes psychedelic, something new. love it!
Hard to say is my favorite Holmes, Brett is up there, both Watsons are interchangeable in this series, you can remember who is who. I was able to get both of their autographs.
*I just loved this series when it came out on television, and have rewatched most of episodes multiple times* *These productions, in every single episode are by far the single most faithful in re-creating the sets to be as accurate as possible to the 'vibe' of the time, sets, wardrobe, language etc etc of the time, truly sumptious in every respect*
He is the only person who can claim to be the best Sherlock Holmes in any production ever made. ❤
One of the best episodes
I love the little smile Watson gives when Holmes shuts down Sterndale's claim that he saw no one following him.
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Best Holmes ever! Amazing actor.
Sterndale was a badass. Not only did he avenge his live, but he endured the Devil's Foot alongside Mortimer and lived.
Denis Quilley puts in a stunning performance. Very enjoyable.
My favourite episode of the Granada series.
As an oldster, I grew up watching old Basil Rathbone as Holmes movies...so he remains my favorite. But if Brett's Holmes was all I could ever watch of Holmes, I would surely be satisfied.
He's #2 for me... but get it !!!
6:47-6:55
"Cornish hospitality" 😅
Jeremy Brett was an excellent Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Watson was excellent too.These guys did there own thing, a completely different kind of Holmes and Watson. They were great.
This is one of my favorites!! We really can't imagine all the poisons the tribes in Africa or the Aborigines in Australia who communicate telepathically have!!! Read the book "The Call of Australia", which is a bestseller. Greetings from Zagreb, Croatia!! 🌬️🌀🌌🙏🏻
Thank you once again for posting this remarkable TV series.
Fwiw, Brett's input into this powerfully fascinating
episode is online and quite interesting re: Holmes stopping his habit. Definitely my Top 5 of the batch.
Plus, sure I'm not alone in feeling extra affection towards both leads re: Watson and Holmes kinship. (When Holmes called him by his first name, especially.)
Not absolutely true to the original, but a very good adaptation. It's true to the spirit of the story.
one of the more interesting plots and episodes. I really enjoyed this one :)
Also, I think Mrs Potter is the same actress as Mrs. Eliza Dunn from Poirot's first movie, The Clapham Cook. She's got to be the same actress...
EDIT: also, I liked Holmes' quote "each, separately, is suggestive, together they are conclusive". Such a good quote!
It's the same actress - Freda Dowie, died about two years ago when she was 91! If you really want to impress your friends, she was also in "I, Claudius", as Caligula's wife, Ceasonia .
@@tnecklover I've got no friends to impress (always been a solitary guy), but thanks for the trivia. You never know when it comes in handy :)
Have you watched the Poirot series, by the way?
@@blabla-rg7ky All of them...very good!
@@tnecklover yep. Poirot is one of my favorite movies (well, series) of all time. But that doesn't mean that I don't like Sherlock Holmes, as well. It's just that Poirot is a better constructed character in my opinion. And don't worry, you don't have to reply to this message cause I wasn't trying to make conversation. I just felt like letting this piece of info out, that's all :)
Cheers!
@@blabla-rg7ky thinking about Poirot, the TV series with David Sutchet is equally good... Cheers
I've never met a needle addict who can give it up as many times as Sherlock Holmes can n does. If only...
This is hands down my favorite representation of Sherlock Holmes. Having read all the stories it's what I saw in my head when I was reading the books. Basil Rathbone has nothing on Jeremy Brett! When it comes to the newer adaptations in modern movies they don't even come close!
Love the blanket!
Me too!😊
Giant granny square
He also "wears" it in The Musgrave Ritual. Both touching and funny. He throws it off as soon as he is on a case, though, forgetting everything but the puzzle before him.
He makes the absolute best entrance I've ever seen in an actor.
One of several instances when Sherlock Holmes lets the perpetrator get away with his crime. Other cases are Abbey Grange and Priory School.
Blue Carbuncle, Boscombe Valley Mystery
@@arunashamal was about to comment that lol
Even- the Naval Treaty
Not in the Priory School. The perpetrator dies.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC 💯 💯 💯 💯
Wonderful trip scene.
One of my favorite SH stories. Sherlock got to do a drug other than his usual coke and opiates hahahahaha . The devils foot was Altered states before acid was invented . Today I've seen in others the same affects , but less extreme , work on the fear receptors of the brain in K2.
Perfect ❤️thank you :)
If only Mr Brett had the chance to meet Mr Doyle. Sir Arthur would have been very proud of him.
They have met, I think... In eternity :)
It took me a while, which it shouldn't have, but I've really warmed up to Brett as Holmes. He is downright perfect in the role and it is really too bad that he has left us!
In this episode, I guess he hadn't yet come across Irene Adler...
Superb!
"I thought I knew my Watson!"
pretty wild / trippy scene when he poisoned himself. hes haunted by moriarty
Thanks for Uploading!!
