Holmes Pipe Smoking Scenes Season 2

[@Lazyboy5298]

Jeremy Brett is and always will be the physical embodiment of Sherlock Holmes.

[@thelwulf5501]

“It is quite a three pipe problem” - me at work during any inconvenience

[@michaeltaylor7194]

Agreed

[@cheshirecat9081]

Mr Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes will never be equalled . The definitive Holmes .

[@cheshirecat9081]

@The Dragon in the last year or two a TV portrayal of Maigret had been shown in the UK . Rowan Atkinson playing the role . And very good it was , atmospheric .

[@ref6122]

Jeremy Brett modeled his Sherlock Holmes on the Sidney Paget illustrations from the books.Therefore he is seen smoking mostly Church Wardens and Dublins.Then in the Holmes movies of the early - mid 20th century he was seen smoking the Calabash style pipes he is associated with .The curve of the stem allowed the actor ( Basil Rathbone and others) to speak while smoking and still have his face open to view.

[@raphaelreine1390]

Sherlock Holmes is what attracted me to pipe smoking ever since I was a kid, and Jeremy Brett is and always will be my favorite Holmes.

[@davidchunko]

I couldn't agree more 👍

[@Survlist_wordpress_com]

I disagree with you smoking but I agree with rest 🙂

[@RedcoatsReturn]

The great Jeremy Brett, a top class Sherlock Holms and ...a lovely episode about...the three pipe problem 😊😊😊😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

[@ThomasAWilliam]

The old Holmes series are awesome. Thanks for posting.

[@lencycler1]

the last scene is awesome...two of the most famous characters in literature, a lighthearted moment between only the viewer and Holmes, and a pipe.

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]

The equivalent of an eye roll.

[@alvinkoh5556]

Those days were so classy!

[@ShinKyuubi]

I like the fact he's using all kinds of pipes instead of just one, I understand the reason for the one used in the stage plays which became the iconic one, but the books show he has quite an array of pipes..the long one where he says "to smoke" seems like a churchwarden pipe..which one of the books mentions him replacing an old pipe of his with a "long cherry wood pipe"..that seems like the one mentioned.

[@clintoncampbell236]

Actually he only had 3 in the stories / novels an old disheveled black clay a oily briar and a cherry wood .

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

no serious pipe smoker would use just one pipe.

[@dylancatlett6580]

@@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo I would hesitate to say that is true.
Many pipe smokers from decades ago just used one pipe, replacing it when it broke. They'd go to the pharmacy and pick up another Dr. Grabow.
These days, people usually smoke with more than one, though, as they can afford it and generally approach pipe smoking more as a hobby than something just to do.

[@TheBasirKarim]

Jeremy Brett most closely resembles the Sherlock Holmes described in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels. I can hardly watch any other actor portray him!

[@oneillm3]

How about Basil Rathbone? I was a Jeremy fan first but switched to Basil as first preference.Check him out!

[@TheBasirKarim]

I used to watch the Basil Rathbone films. I'm a bigger fan of Brett though.

[@hugotipple]

+Mark Tennon I can't decide between these two. And they're probably the only ones that I'll ever accept.

[@feafelhome]

Seriously....NO ONE ELSE...

[@geoffbayldon1340]

Everyone heaps praise on Jeremy Brett as Holmes, and quite right too but David Burke is peerless as Watson. You can really believe that he and Holmes are best friends that live together.

[@Hallonbot]

I very much agree. David Burke was a wonderful Watson, and he and Brett really made for a great pair. It’s too bad he decided against continuing on with the series. Edward Hardwick was a worthy replacement though, even if his Watson is very different. Burke brought a lovely enthusiasm to the role, that I miss in the later episodes.

[@ericbonifield768]

David Burke was in my opinion superior to Edward Hardwick

[@dragonkim3060]

Pipe smoking makes him look so chill

[@hartleymartin]

That third scene with the Calabash makes reference to theatre productions of Sherlock Holmes. In none of the original books is a Calabash mentioned nor is one depicted in any of the original illustrations.

[@Sirchud68]

The infamous clay pipe...

[@Marko-ol4yi]

Don't you just love that smile at the end of the video? :-)

The Greek Interpreter, The Final Problem, The Resident Patient, The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, all of them classics.

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

actually he was gay.

[@Survlist_wordpress_com]

​@@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo Actually he was bisexual

[@Dorelaxen]

Holmes' pipe here in the second scene is closer to what he smoked in the books. A simple clay pipe. For all of his intelligence and fashionable dress, Holmes was at heart a simple man with simple pleasures (his cocaine habit non withstanding). The huge calabash pipes you see him with in drawings and certain adaptations (such as here) was possibly brought about by stage actor William Gillette, who used one during his stage plays so the smoke wouldn't obscure his face or vision. That might be apocryphal, true, but still, the classic deerstalker hat and calabash pipe are so integral to the character, that seeing him here with a literature accurate clay pipe (note the small nipple at the bottom of the bowl, which was common on clays) is quite odd.

[@Rohilla313]

Makes me want to switch to clay pipes :)

[@clintoncampbell236]

They burn really hot and are easily broken .

[@senpai16]

Love the churchwarden but there calabash it's most memorable

[@SayersPipes]

love this :) thanks !

[@CaneTopper]

@ThomasAWilliam
You're welcome. The series is indeed worth watching.

[@mhdchan]

I should get myself that tiny churchwarden

[@hammeringhank5271]

Which one is It?

[@ruim2495]

Tiny?It's not tiny for me,it's a regular size churchwarden,if you are talking about that black one,that's a clay pipe I think,not a churchwarden,which mentioned in the original novel that Holmes uses a clay pipe turns black caused by over usage.

[@Konrad_Wallenrod]

Muhammad Ridzuan Chan Abdullah
Try Peterson's, or better yet, Vauen- but the latters is hardly tiny LOL

[@Eagle93Writer]

I think its a clay Tavern pipe

[@larrysmith2638]

I believe he's referring to the bowl size. And it was quite small.

"singular" is used in about every other holmes story; superb clip. My dislike of jeremy brett as holmes has waned, in some of these he is quite good.

What pipe is he smoking in the beginning? And the one at 0:55?

A clay pipe that turned black caused by over using,it has been mentioned in th original book.

@@ruim2495 but the thing is. clay pipes dont turn black from use. Not even close. I smoke clay churchwardens quite a lot andthey might get faintly yellowish/ivory coloured. but thats about it.

I agree! I do not use them as much as you, and I do tend to alternate between seven long clay pipes, but even after eight years, not a single external portion of any pipe turned completely black.
