Enchanting Brittish Classic based on the world popular classic literature. Thank you for letting people watch these small masterpieces and superbly delightful performance by uniquely talented, charismatic actors - in tune together.
Eugene Deckers [who played the killer] was a really good actor. He played in multiple roles in this Sherlock series and every varied part was very well acted - he could play the serious role and the comic. Marvellous.
Dr.Watson is really keeping me entertained during this lockdown. I prefer his portrayal here compared to the books! A BIG thank you to all the frontliners worldwide! God bless us all. 🙏

Heart-breaking episode....I feel sad for Mr. Vickers. Revenge is not the answer, but what happened to his family was inexcusable...Thank you, PizzaFix:). This series is wonderful.:).
Very good but sad tragic episode. So good the way Lestrade comes looking for Holmes's help, but trying to disguise it! The confrontation between Holmes and Vickers is brilliant (the guy who plays Vickers also has other excellent roles in the series).
Third viewing of this moving episode. There is more class and brilliant drama ('LOOK in the mirror') in this half hour than in many of today's big budget movies lasting 90 minutes! 9.20 UK
I have learned to appreciate each Sherlock Holmes and their cast of characters. At first, Basil Rathbone was my favorite, and then Jeremy Brett… I like them ALL. Each is like a different flavor etc. 👍💕
yeah, never thought i would like any others but jeremy brett but im loving this version-more light hearted-not so intense-this holmes is an easy going chap while brett's is practically sociopathic.
totally agree. the character is so rich and fun. what a joy it must be for any performer to tackle it and lend their interpretation. it seems to bring out the very best in all who attempt it. i too was convinced no one but Rathbone could do him justice. Never was i happier to be proven wrong.
@@brianpeck4035 I was thinking the same thing. A lot of people consider this series as mediocre, but this is my favorite; Jeremy Brett actually gave me a headache and made me cringe more than once while Basil Rathbone made me nervous. Peter Cushing was good in the 1959 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, and I find it a pity that Christopher Lee never got a better chance to portray Holmes aside from The Deadly Necklace. This was the first Sherlock Holmes series I watched when I was a child, and despite the other series I've watched, this is my favorite; I find Ronald Howard to be quite a charming Holmes.
Love all sherlock actors! Each actor brings something unique to this wonderful character. We have a great author to thank for these great stories! Norma Jean morrissey
BTW, if you are wondering why they keep using Eugene Deckers and Archie Duncan playing different characters in so many episodes, it's because the series was actually filmed in Paris, not England. And the number of high quality available English actors in Paris was pretty low at the time. So the producer "reused" Deckers and Duncan many times.
Not only those two were recast. That very GN captain was the school headmaster in The Deadly Prophecy. The ship's doctor was in several, at least The Split Ticket and The Read Headed League.
This is the most gripping of any episodes so far that I have seen in this series. I've watched many (not in order of episode. Heart is pounding. Now I've got to finish it out.

The sad truth is human trafficking of minorities for the slave trade has always been brutal and absolutely careless for lives of men women and children. So many innocent lives lost through brutal means only for selfish gain. One of the best episodes from this series of Sherlock.
@bibleredpill Thanks for the virtue signaling, but in this story, they were people of Sub-Saharan African stock trying to sneak into a late 19th Century England whose people had made a decision not to be demographically replaced by them. But by all means you will be wanting to join the Jewish NGOs trying to destroy the cohesiveness of European Christendom by encouraging demographic replacement immigration to or through Greek Islands; Lampadeusa; the Darién Gap.
With Sherlock's keen observational skills how did he miss the 'suspect-to-be' sitting in the corner of the anti-room as he, etc left the initial scene?
I have a feeling that Holmes, Watson, and Lestrade weren't particularly happy about having to arrest a man who was only avenging his family, and who was in constant pain over losing them.
I lost my youngest daughter to a murderer, and I would do exactly the same thing if I could, no doubt what so ever. I just pray he is released from jail before I die.
This is a tough one. If it were my wife and child, I might do the very same thing. It may not be right, but, after such a brutal act, those men had no right to live and I'd have very little reason to.
18yrs ago, I lost my girlfriend and unborn child, killed by her crazed father. Many, many times did I want to deliver my own "Justice", but was unable (granted, likely for the best!). My only recourse for vengeance would have been for me to commit some other equally heinous crime for me to be sentenced to a Category A Maximum security prison. Being only 18 at the time, I wouldn't have gone to adult prison until I was 21 and even then there was never any guarantee that I'd be sent to the same prison as him!! I did lose the will to live, got in to drugs, then crime and ended in prison quite a number of times, but only ever in Cat B prisons. Glad I never came across him really, for starters he would have had a bucket of boiling sugar water thrown on him (saw that done to a confirmed paedophile, the screams are still memorable) , but I, and Emma, wouldn't want to waste my life in prison for having my revenge on the waste of skin and air that is her father! He got a life sentence, to serve a minimum of 30 yrs; should he ever be released, he's not forgiven, but is forgotten, to his luck really. With my intellect and qualifications in Archaeology and Forensic Archaeology, I could, far better than most, make him vanish. If the police find a body, forensic archaeologists are called in to exhume the body and catalogue the scene, because they and their methods are best at it. I, myself was taught by Dr. David Wilson, the famed criminologist, who you may have seen on TV; serial killer shows and such. Wow, apologies for such a long comment, topics just a bit close to home. Gladiator (R.Crowe) gets me going a bit as well!?!
TheEyez187 That's heart breaking, I'm deeply sorry for you loss. Evil evil monster to do that to his own daughter and unborn child. How old was he when he was locked up.? Hopefully the freak will die in prison and his foul soul rot in Hell.
One of the better ones. By a curious coincidence, the scrap of melody which the 'cello plays at 25.03 is almost identical to the theme-tune used in the Granada/Jeremy Brett S. H. stories. (Not a lot of people know that!)
I could really sympathize with this so called villain. For any person who loves their family, losing them, especially a child is a living nightmare. This man's only reason for living was revenge, and those he killed did not deserve to live.
this is my third or fourth time around this series,really enjoy it.Basil Rathbone used to be my favourite Sherlock,until I watched Ronald Howard. very refreshing. not conceited like future actors. of this role. and my favourite Dr. Watson ,by far. comical. Nigel Bruce annoyed the hell out of me.. but the actor ,Eugene Deckers, what a ham. just close my eyes when he is on screen. will keep watching though. comforting late at night sitting up in bed.
They say only 42% of households have a gun in the US. I suspect far fewer were armed in the 19th Century with firearms. Edged weapons were far more common and, as we see in the story, likely to be used. Even today an edged weapon up close is more deadly than a firearm, according to Massad Ayoob. Edged weapons do not require a silencer.
@@ZER0-- A ship's captain in the Marines didn't have access to a gun? IMO, the most logical interpretation is that he knew exactly who was coming for him, and why, and figured this was the comeuppance he deserved, so he accepted it.
i’d sympathize with the murderer, IF he didn’t try to kill Sherlock too 24:24 i thought he’s surrendering to Sherlock already, bec his revenge is done finally, well, mostly. But he’s gonna silence SH too, to hunt and kill the rest. In the end, the abyss of hate took him too. 😢
My great, great grandmother carried a cane with a knife in it. She lived during the civil war and kept it for protection. Don't think she ever had to use it though.
@@maunster3414 It has been documented in a book by one of my relatives and even has a picture of the cane which he has current possession of. It is full of amazing family history with documents and loads of pictures. It goes back to before the Revolutionary war.
paul broderick This actually has nothing to do with the slave trade. It was Great Britain that deployed the Royal Navy in the 19th century unilaterally to end the slave trade. This is actually about the smuggling of illegal immigrants into a country. Very relevant to the day!
Ignoring the Holmes angle totally, this would be a fascinating issue in terms of prosecution. In a jury trial, it would be almost impossible to get unanimous agreement by a jury. The motive here screams jury nullification. Yet you can't let a multiple murderer go free. I suspect the only option for prosecutors would be a crazy plea deal, like parole for life, or the lowest level of manslaughter served concurrently.
Check out A Time to Kill. Might change your view a bit. I'm not one for crimes of this nature either but when I saw that movie and read the book, it spun me into that crazy gray area the world lives in. Respect to your view though, impeccable judgment.
I'm fairly sure they recycled this story in Geoffrery Whitehead's Sherlock Holmes which I also saw on TH-cam, and I think that is the guy who played Vincent Spaulding in this series' Red-Headed League ^^ Both series did recycle actors, guess it can't be helped ~
9:00 the doctor is showing the audience the clue, it’s there, back of his hand 14:36 Sherlock describes the detail we cannot see the writers did try to share the sleuthing. We know the who, but not the why. And we probably all looked aghast as Sherlock 23:17 😢 not what he expected a memorable episode
Poor guy. I hope they wont be too harsh on him. Those people did desrve what they got. Maybe he should get a slap on the wrist . . . a couple of years in prison, no more and a warning to stay clean or next time it'll be the rope.
Sherlock Holmes had a brother who was alot smarter then he was..But the brother was lazy. He belonged to a mans club, and would hangout there...You never hear about the brother in the movies, or TV shows...But, he's in one or two S. H. stories..
I love it every time he says, "THIS TIME YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR!" Lol, I just love the series!

But by all means you will be wanting to join the Jewish NGOs trying to destroy the cohesiveness of European Christendom by encouraging demographic replacement immigration to or through Greek Islands; Lampadeusa; the Darién Gap.
" " "This time you have finally gone too far!" " " LOL
Great TV Show!!Thank you for sharing

Pizza strikes again... Keep em coming.. thanks
With Sherlock's keen observational skills how did he miss the 'suspect-to-be' sitting in the corner of the anti-room as he, etc left the initial scene?
ante.
Sherlock hadn't watched the episode yet!
He should have made the deduction as instantly as the audience did, who had seen the title of the episode.
@@ivorbiggun710 :}
Another great episode (my favorite so far), thanks for the upload
this watson was one of the smartest portrayed on movies or televison and yet he could never recognize holmes in any of his disguises!
I wonder if Captain Pitt is still in the Cupboard
Captain Pitt in the cupboard with the candlestick.
This episode is the most frightening one in my opinion.
There is a lot of murder in this one.
Wow very good!! Tense 😬!!
I have a feeling that Holmes, Watson, and Lestrade weren't particularly happy about having to arrest a man who was only avenging his family, and who was in constant pain over losing them.
Especially the way they died
@@doug1863 Yeah, that especially.
This series was so good!
Excellent, as always!
We need more entertainment like.this
I lost my youngest daughter to a murderer, and I would do exactly the same thing if I could, no doubt what so ever. I just pray he is released from jail before I die.
vincent england get it done!
vincent england Get it done!
@@davidstout8604
I hope no one goes to you for advice!
I don't blame you. I would do the same if it was my child.
Make it your life’s work. Wait, then deal with the scum. Justice
Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes would have bought this guy a one-way ticket to Trinidad and tell him never to come back England..... lol
Dead on true.
So would Conan's,the original.
That was some intense acting in the final scene😲😲😲
I believe this is the best episode ive seen so far. The killer had a powerful motive which you cannot deny
I love this series. ❤
This is a tough one. If it were my wife and child, I might do the very same thing. It may not be right, but, after such a brutal act, those men had no right to live and I'd have very little reason to.
18yrs ago, I lost my girlfriend and unborn child, killed by her crazed father. Many, many times did I want to deliver my own "Justice", but was unable (granted, likely for the best!). My only recourse for vengeance would have been for me to commit some other equally heinous crime for me to be sentenced to a Category A Maximum security prison. Being only 18 at the time, I wouldn't have gone to adult prison until I was 21 and even then there was never any guarantee that I'd be sent to the same prison as him!! I did lose the will to live, got in to drugs, then crime and ended in prison quite a number of times, but only ever in Cat B prisons. Glad I never came across him really, for starters he would have had a bucket of boiling sugar water thrown on him (saw that done to a confirmed paedophile, the screams are still memorable) , but I, and Emma, wouldn't want to waste my life in prison for having my revenge on the waste of skin and air that is her father! He got a life sentence, to serve a minimum of 30 yrs; should he ever be released, he's not forgiven, but is forgotten, to his luck really. With my intellect and qualifications in Archaeology and Forensic Archaeology, I could, far better than most, make him vanish. If the police find a body, forensic archaeologists are called in to exhume the body and catalogue the scene, because they and their methods are best at it. I, myself was taught by Dr. David Wilson, the famed criminologist, who you may have seen on TV; serial killer shows and such.
Wow, apologies for such a long comment, topics just a bit close to home. Gladiator (R.Crowe) gets me going a bit as well!?!
Out of 52,175 homicides in 50 cities over the past decade, 51 percent did not result in an arrest.
TheEyez187 That's heart breaking, I'm deeply sorry for you loss. Evil evil monster to do that to his own daughter and unborn child. How old was he when he was locked up.? Hopefully the freak will die in prison and his foul soul rot in Hell.
Thank you for sharing this dark episode in your life. It must have been real hard for you. I wish you well.
@@JohnLloydScharf, I recently heard the NRA is starting to lose its foothold of insanity. I guess we shall see, I hope. Peace
AGREE. I'm no expert but the direction and cinematography is impeccable. Get those panned close ups.
One of the better ones.
By a curious coincidence, the scrap of melody which the 'cello plays at 25.03 is almost identical to the theme-tune used in the Granada/Jeremy Brett S. H. stories.
(Not a lot of people know that!)
I can not hear a resemblance to the Brett series. Are you sure these tunes are similar?
To Patricia Ramsey:
Listen to the first 4 notes of the 'cello part (in the accompaniment) rather than the violins (playing the theme).
Great episode, however I sympathize with the killer in this one
Damned vignettes are addictive!
All the episodes are tightly constructed.
Not when they give it away in the title.
A 'villian' you can sympathise with. Those are good plots.
I could really sympathize with this so called villain. For any person who loves their family, losing them, especially a child is a living nightmare.
This man's only reason for living was revenge, and those he killed did not deserve to live.
this is my third or fourth time around this series,really enjoy it.Basil Rathbone used to be my favourite Sherlock,until I watched Ronald Howard. very refreshing. not conceited like future actors. of this role. and my favourite Dr. Watson ,by far. comical. Nigel Bruce annoyed the hell out of me.. but the actor ,Eugene Deckers, what a ham. just close my eyes when he is on screen. will keep watching though. comforting late at night sitting up in bed.
Another good one!
i actually sympathize with the killer in this one.
Agreed. Give me a little prosecutorial discretion!
@@LydellFisk indubitably!
They all leave the doctor totally unprotected with a very strange suspicious man sitting in the waiting room
Director of the series liked the extreme close up
It was Television.
Protection of the doctor wasn’t very good
Really perfect ,, well done ,,
most intriguing,, good yup,, a must watch:)
It must have been fun to play Holmes, as many faces (and characters) as Lon Chaney.
😀🍻 Cheers Mate ! 🎶🎹
Excellent
👍👍👍💕 thank you‼️
i love how when sherlock holmes introduces himself to people they always say "MR?" sherlock holmes?? like what else is he going to be?
it is England ... he could have been made a 'Sir' ... although he would likely have rejected such an honour ...
The closed-captions are endlessly amusing!! The British accents confuse things -- a lot!
Confusing crime by acting blind, being revenge of the maniac killer and ultimately his end.
I LIKE THESE SHOWS !!
Big problem with the plot the captain knew he was next why did he not wait for the killer with a gun. He could have blew the killer head off
You mean "killer's head off". Maybe he had no access to a gun.
They say only 42% of households have a gun in the US. I suspect far fewer were armed in the 19th Century with firearms. Edged weapons were far more common and, as we see in the story, likely to be used. Even today an edged weapon up close is more deadly than a firearm, according to Massad Ayoob. Edged weapons do not require a silencer.
@@ZER0-- A ship's captain in the Marines didn't have access to a gun? IMO, the most logical interpretation is that he knew exactly who was coming for him, and why, and figured this was the comeuppance he deserved, so he accepted it.
He could have gone into hiding PDQ, too, instead of passively sitting and awaiting his end with not even a pistol to defend himself.
Western Union must have particularly fast in those days. He didn’t have time to be ready
i’d sympathize with the murderer, IF he didn’t try to kill Sherlock too 24:24 i thought he’s surrendering to Sherlock already, bec his revenge is done finally, well, mostly. But he’s gonna silence SH too, to hunt and kill the rest. In the end, the abyss of hate took him too. 😢
When Watson reminisces about Afghanistan and peace, I as an Iraq vet can understand him lol
My great, great grandmother carried a cane with a knife in it. She lived during the civil war and kept it for protection. Don't think she ever had to use it though.
RhondaH, very interesting. You should write this story in a scrap book or something for future generations to know.
@@maunster3414 It has been documented in a book by one of my relatives and even has a picture of the cane which he has current possession of. It is full of amazing family history with documents and loads of pictures. It goes back to before the Revolutionary war.
RhondaH, good to know. So many histories go unrecorded.
Really enjoyed this one. Touched upon parts of Britain dark past, the slave trade and colonization.
paul broderick This actually has nothing to do with the slave trade. It was Great Britain that deployed the Royal Navy in the 19th century unilaterally to end the slave trade. This is actually about the smuggling of illegal immigrants into a country. Very relevant to the day!
@@davedotterrer4532 Well, they sure did treat India like shit, though.
@@davedotterrer4532 Somehow you managed to make this about immigrants...racists like you are pathetic.
@CB isme England did worse
Good story
Wonderful
Leave the guy in the closet. Case closed. Time for a pint 🍺
13:26 - Jim Rockford must've watched this show!
Very good.
7:45, a meeting in Dr.Jonas’s office.
After holmes removed the eye patch he looked exactly like Abraham Lincoln.
Good show
This episode was probably based on the Sherlock Holmes story " The Adventure of the Gloria Scott ".
I totally agree with the comments below 👍
Ignoring the Holmes angle totally, this would be a fascinating issue in terms of prosecution. In a jury trial, it would be almost impossible to get unanimous agreement by a jury. The motive here screams jury nullification. Yet you can't let a multiple murderer go free. I suspect the only option for prosecutors would be a crazy plea deal, like parole for life, or the lowest level of manslaughter served concurrently.
Check out A Time to Kill. Might change your view a bit. I'm not one for crimes of this nature either but when I saw that movie and read the book, it spun me into that crazy gray area the world lives in. Respect to your view though, impeccable judgment.
I'm fairly sure they recycled this story in Geoffrery Whitehead's Sherlock Holmes which I also saw on TH-cam, and I think that is the guy who played Vincent Spaulding in this series' Red-Headed League ^^ Both series did recycle actors, guess it can't be helped ~
The Whitehead scripts are Sheldon Renolds scripts reworked. I can't find all the Whithead shows!
@@usedscar You're right ~ also, I can't find all of the Whitehead shows either, but will keep looking ^^;
That killer is a heckuva talented guy - he managed to stab the victim without getting the blade of his sword thingy bloody... That is HARD ;)
9:00 the doctor is showing the audience the clue, it’s there, back of his hand 14:36 Sherlock describes the detail we cannot see
the writers did try to share the sleuthing. We know the who, but not the why. And we probably all looked aghast as Sherlock 23:17 😢 not what he expected
a memorable episode
My name is not Dell but Bernard and Ron Howard's Sherlock Holmes is my favourite and then basil Rathbone and then Jeremy Brett and then Peter Cushing
Капитана, значит, спасли, Слава Богу, посылающему Своих Ангелов во плоти!
The remains of the Captain are still in the closet to this day.
oh dear, (the same actor) arrested again. only once a good guy. . . :}
What shanty is he singing?
There is a Tavern in the Town
Anyone else guessed that the captain was next on 👊 the list.
the best!
I haven't seen a squeezy box for years
Poor guy. I hope they wont be too harsh on him. Those people did desrve what they got. Maybe he should get a slap on the wrist . . . a couple of years in prison, no more and a warning to stay clean or next time it'll be the rope.
❤️👍
JUSTIFIED
Nice
Sherlock Holmes had a brother who was alot smarter then he was..But the brother was lazy. He belonged to a mans club, and would hangout there...You never hear about the brother in the movies, or TV shows...But, he's in one or two S. H. stories..
Holmes seems to have forgotten something......I wonder if you can guess what?
Holmes' disguises remind me of my 9 month old granddaughter who hides behind her hat.
