Great Lines and Scenes from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" - Jeremy Brett - Granada

- A compendium of great or iconic lines and scenes from Granada's 1984 "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," featuring Jeremy Brett and David Burke, still considered by many or most to have been the best and most canonical adaptation of the Arthur Conan Doyle mysteries.
The scenes naturally focus on the dialogue of the Holmes character and are shown in their proper sequence so as to better impart the overall mood and arc of the series. Alas, many excellent scenes were deleted or edited in the making of this video so as to limit the overall length to less than 22 minutes.

Did you see that leap over the sofa? Did anyone ever leap so gracefully over a sofa? His look. His smirk. His raising of the eyebrows. His dismissive hand movements. The use of the cane and pipe. Every movement is calculated and hits the mark. It’s perfection. Absolute perfection.
He was the master of his craft.
Exactly
It’s like he jumped out of the Sidney Pagent woodcuts from the Strand Magazine.
Jeremy was a gazelle.😊
Over 100 actors played Holmes, but only Jeremy Brett became Holmes. Unprecedented. Unique. Unequaled. RIP Mr Brett. Your legacy lives on.
brett was as great as burke was awful
An example of tragically fitting casting. Brett smoked probably as much as Holmes did, and (likely enabled / exacerbated by his Bipolar disorder) the role of Holmes "consumed him" between the TV series and stage work.

I disagree. They were well-matched.
@@Offshoreorganbuilder and i disagree, burke was awful, even worse than nigel bruce's bumbling duffer, burke played him like he had brain damage... i was ecstatic when they canned him and brought in hardwicke.
@@rickdeckard1075
We are both entitled to our opinions, of course, but I don't think you will find too many people agreeing with you.
And, as a point of information, David Burke was not 'canned'. It was his decision to leave. David Burke left the role of Dr Watson after the first season, as he was offered a position with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
As it happened, it was a good point in the series for a change to be made, if a change had to come. The different Watson fitted well with the more sombre turn which the stories took.
Jeremy Brett was an inspired choice for the role of Sherlock Holmes - it was like seeing the Sidney Paget illustrations come to life. He's still my favorite Holmes.
Brett was so poised, talented, classy and dramatic playing Sherlock ❤️
Sherlockian here. Jeremy Brett is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes. Not even a contest.
I agree. While I absolutely loved the portrayal by Basil Rathbone (a man who I could listen to read the phone book and be pleased, incidentally), I loathed the portrayal of Watson in those same stories. Jeremy Brett played the part superbly, and well, as did both Burke and later Hardwicke.

-my private writing paper
-stolen!
-my own seal
-imitated!
-my photograph
-bought!
-we were both in that photograph
-photoshopped!
-excuse me, WHAT
He doesn't say that.
Ha!
@@guardian33 Would have been funny, though, as photographic forgery has been a thing since photography itself.
10:09 - Watson’s response to Holmes chewing him out over his writing should have been included, it’s one of my favourite quotes, “You’re always in a disputatious mood when you choose THAT pipe!”
That line popped into my head , driving to work this morning. I have never heard anyone ever use the word "disputatious" in my life, but that was the perfect word to use.
Each time I re-read a Sherlock Holmes novel, it's the image of the late Jeremy Brett I see in my mind. He was the perfect Holmes. The one and only Sherlock Holmes for me.
RoryAddict indeed so..he not only played the role but lived in the character..😊
RoryAddict
Yes he is the person I imagine when I read the stories, his voice in my head.
It is a beautiful thing. In a sort of way, he lives on through Holmes
:D I´ve had no Spider-, Super- or Ironman. My hero of my youth was Jeremy Brett aka Sherlock Holmes :D ... loved him ...3:42 :D :D :D
@@abhishekbhattacharya5697 And literally he did so!
You read my mind. I like to see other interpretations of Holmes, but Brett is the Ideal.
One of my favorite lines from when he arrived at a meeting before the person he was to meet with and they exclaimed "why, you're early, Mr. Holmes" to which he replied "That is OFTEN the case with punctuality".
Yes, that was in "The Problem of Thor Bridge".
That leap over the couch! "The Red-Headed League" 😊👍🏾
I'd need Watson if I tried that😮
Brett’s face when he says ‘never the less’ in the mrs Lexington scene - pure quality
6:08 "Thank you Watson, for educating me in military morality..." perfect line, perfectly delivered
And it's not even an original line, but works so well one might mistake it for a Doyle invention.
So perfectly Holmes, so brilliant. The words soar from him, cut through the air and light up your imagination, never tire of watching the wonderful Jeremy Brett
He has the presence and mannerisms of an experienced stage actor.
I love Jeremy’s depiction of Sherlock Holmes. So subtle, thorough and wonderful. I have read every story many times and always see Jeremy in my mind’s eye becoming Sherlock Holmes.
Same. No other actor captures the character remotely as well.
GOD the sassiness he has when he talks to lestrade is impeccable.
What? Lastrade was a legend in his own mind😂
That moment when Holmes looks at the camera... awesome.
Jeremy Brett delivered his lines so convincingly & firmly, he made all Sherlock Holmes lines quotable.
He's the best!
He is a wonderful theater actor and has been a fine actor in film and television. He is as good as Lawrence Olivier if not better.jeramey we miss you so much.
Jeremy Brett was my Holmes. He's my go to when I'm in the mood for some Sherlock action.
Everytime I read Sherlock Holmes the image of Jeremy Brett comes in my eyes
My favorite Sherlock Holmes. Don't get me wrong...I adore Cumberbatch, but my true admiration belongs to Jeremy Brett. Swoon :D
Cumberbatch brings Holmes into the modern world in a way that fits perfectly into the everyday world we see around us today and all the technologies and varying problems we come across. In the same way Jeremy Brett brought to life the true Sherlock Holmes as he was first conceived of in Victorian England with all the knowledge of people and places habits of the various classes and their codes of conduct and even tobacco (the leaving on of a cigar band would give you the reputation of a "Cad and a Bounder" for example) that would be totally irrelevant today due to mass production and technology taking away jobs that would be done by certain people and therefor easier to trace.
Shout out to Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing too.
Cumberbatch's sherlock is an abomination. The actor does a good job but the whole product is just horrible.
I prefer RDJ
Cumberbatch is a joke. If Sherlock would have been exist he will be without a doubt Jeremy's Brett interpretation.
There are actors BORN to play certain roles. Tragically, some spend their entire careers never finding them. Brett definitely found his. Amazingly, also, many don't even know it until it hits them in the face. Brett said, many times, that Holmes was the "antithesis" of anyone he would ever like or even make an effort to meet. Total opposites in every way (he said). And yet the role was as natural as breathing. He was the consummate actor, and that was true for all his performances. But this one was especially natural despite the differences. -- I was saddened by his later illness which deeply affected the last 20 (or so) episodes. He was sick (bloated, aged, no more joie de vivre) and it showed. He had an enlarged heart (in addition to being bipolar), and his 3-pack a day habit had finally caught up with him. RIP.
I saw a picture of him before death and he actually lost weight… he looked oddly not sick.
still the greatest comeback was in the dancing man "by jolly how ever did you find that?"" Sherlock: "Because I was looking for it""
I have respect for several portrayals of Sherlock Holmes. Peter Cushion had wonderful diction, and Douglas Wilmer had some of the intensity that we now associate with Holmes. But Jeremy Brett is so far ahead of all the rest, that I feel privileged to have enjoyed them.
Jeremy Brett will always be the best Sherlock Holmes ever!
love Jeremy's performance of holmes; arrogant, steely-eyed, and single-minded on the case at hand. Wonderful! RIP Jeremy
“Thank you Watson for educating me on military morality” is legit a funnier line than 100% of “jokes” in Marvel movies
REAL
Fr 😂 Hes always got me laughing i love him
Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. David Burke as Doctor John Watson. Eric Porter as Professor Moriarty. These were, at least in my opinion, the definitive presentation of each character as they were originally written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. These actors could not have done a more spectacular job. When Holmes is on, you marvel at both his intelligence and charming wit. As for Watson, no one can resist putting themself
in his shoes as an observer and wants to figure out the mystery before Holmes does. Finally, when Moriarty is on screen, you can’t help but feel that you are in the presence of true evil. No romanticism in this criminal mastermind, he is as bad as he appears to be.
As Holmes himself would say, ""Quite so."
Your comment about Moriarty is stunningly spot on. He is the very personification of pure evil.
The best Sherlock Holmes in my opinion.
Jeremy Brett the one and only ever Holmes , Sherlock Holmes , was there ever another ? I think not
Jeremy is the best
'But it's only a quarter past seven ! Is there a fire !?' That's me every morning.
Holmes : 'You have killed four opponents'
The Grand Duke : 'Honorably !'
Holmes 'Of course.'
Genius....
It was great! It would be nice to see some of the scenes as he grows older; especially when the maid actually catches Holmes off guard and lands on him from sitting in the tree and he laughs so hard.... that’s a great scene!
I enjoyed them all but Jeremy really nailed it
Elementary the way Sherlock outwits others with his words 😃
Gives me a chuckle every time
"Its a wicked world. And when a clever man turns his brain to crime , its the worst of all." For a line written for the episode, it sounds exactly like something Doyle would have written
That is a quote from the book. Holmes says that to Miss Stoner when they are examining Roylott's room.
Because it is
It is...
“I’ll see you hang for this!”
“That privilege must surely be mine” the ultimate mic drop 🎤💥
Outstanding! Great compilation; captures essence of Holmes genius!

This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the
many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage,
screen, radio and TV adaptations.
Jeremy fue y será el gran Sherlock Holmes de todos los tiempos. Un amigo difícil de olvidar. 👍
"Get back into your chair!" said Holmes sternly. "It is very well to cringe and crawl now, but you thought little enough of this poor Horner in the dock for a crime of which he knew NOTHING!!" 😁
I liked the way they wrote Holmes in this version. Its more in lime with the literary version of Holmes - impatient with ordinary people, smug, somewhat cold but sensitive, introspective but not nostalgic, self-rightousness, and overly dramatic. But deep down highly respective of both Dr. Watson and Mrs. Hudson
Hehe, I see you've included one of my favorites @ 6:44 ... "But it's only a quarter past 7 -- What is it, a fire?" "No, no [pausing to savor the fact] ... a client."
My all time favourite, which made me laugh endlessly, is @11:00. The irony drips off both their tongues.
that smile.............................
jeremy brett was the best holmes ever ın my opınıon .he managed to play sherlock holmes wıthout vısual effects but he was more holmes than others ıt is a shame ı couldnt see hım alıve
Unique genius. A performance that will last forever.
Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes ever! And these shows were the best-I just didn't like what they did for the last season; they made 2-hour ones that were based on 2 or 3 of the stories.
One of the splendid performance I have ever seen
We were both in that photograph. "PHOTOSHOP!"
AI? 😅
A most excellent collection. Absolutely first class.
"I am lost, without my Boswell." ❤️
At 5:00 the most epic scene..and the laugh after....
Excellent compilation! Thank you sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
6:54 - BEST. REACTION. EVER.
11:25 is not bad either.
my only wish is that Jeremy played Holmes while Jarred Harris played Moriarty now that would really be spine chilling
Oh God that indeed would have been chilling and amazing to behold!
J. Brett was the Holmes I grew up with. For me he is definitive. It is very easy to imagine him and even the rest of the show while reading the original stories. I read them long after l had seen the series. This is a testament to Granada at how well they did trying to capture the spirit and essence of the original stories as closly as possible on screen.
Brett's vocal modulations while delivering even one sentence is masterful.
That being said, I think Benadict Cumberbach is just as awesome in many ways. He carries the same quirky eccentricities that Brett was so marvellous at portraying.
Cumberbatch's line readings are too rushed and defensive. Almost as if he is conceding to the African woman's never ending insults that he is a 'Freak". Brett speaks as if he is speaking "Truth" and anyone who thinks otherwise, is the freak.
@@Themanwhocameback2 I can see your point, however I see it more as Cumberbatch is simply impatient with ineptitude or ignorance. His Sherlock disdains the fact that he has to slow down to others level.
That being said, Brett's delivery is absolutely the best ever.
@@42roadsforman Yes, but for Cumberbatch it simply seems like he's just forcing his neurotic view on another neurotic's view. Brett seems like he's channeling eternal truths. "Education is never ending, Watson, it is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last". Holmes knew this.
Cumberbatch's "Sherlock", as Watson calls him , doesn't know this.
The Doctor vs. The Master
=
Sherlock Holmes vs. Moriarty
David Burke played a good Dr Watson
12:46 Sherlock: “It’s not a crime to have a cold heart and not a single shred of compassion.”
Me: “But it should be. It is the stuff that serial killers are made of.”
Having read about 3/4 of the Sherlock Holmes stories… I was so excited when these stories came on. I was impressed with how close the followed the written stories and the actors were fantastic. I looked forward for each new episode. Of all the versions of SH… Jeremy Brett was by far the best, IMO….It was as if he was Sherlock with his trusted companion, Dr. Watson. I still enjoy watching these stories.
best sherlock ever
LOL @ 11:58 - Mycroft…**clap** MYCROFT!
The ultimate Holmes & Watson actors.
"We wish you joy." turns his head.
Jeremy Brett was the best
🤗😉👍👌💯💪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐hipp hipp hoooraaay! Masterful acting!
I've seen all the episodes multiple times but I don't recognize a lot of these scenes. Fun video!
You missed holmes whistling when he learns of blessingtons suicide from dr. Trevelyon
Yes. And that is written in the original Conan Doyle story
My favourite
I really liked the vlog as it gave me an opportunity to guess which case each clip came from. Bravo, what fun
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Granada series had the best Lestrade, the best Watson, and the best Holmes (including Mycroft).
Without any doubt😊
Love 💓💓
Jeremy brett will always be the best .
Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋
Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes ever. Only an monumental fool would play Holmes after Brett. Sadly, two monumental fools have tried it and looked wholly pathetic by comparison.
Only the two?
the Russian Holmes was better ;-)
Robert Downey, Jr is a disgrace Sherlock Holmes
Benedict cabbagepatch is amazing as Sherlock Holmes as well in my opinion. Downy was horrible. But Jeremy’s makeup and hair artists should be executed.
You should try the BBC Radio version. Jeremy Brett is a wonderful Holmes, but so is Clive Merrison
My mom would love every episode.
He’s the best ever
Granada's version sometimes changed up the ending a bit, but in ways that improved it. Watson couldn't enjoy the Christmas dinner, till the fellow imprisoned for the jewel theft was released to his waiting family. The music for this was a mix of the closing theme, with a bit of "God Rest ye Merry Gentleman".
Brett is Holmes. EOS.
you know looking at this, I can see that Brent Spiner did a very good job of impersonating the good Mr Homes here
There is indeed a resemblance, but I prefer Mr Brett over Mr Spiner for this role, at least.
indeed, but its just something I only realized just now after looking back at it in hindsight, as one of his mannerisms in this just jogged my memory of him here.
Though oddly enough, I think he might have been basing the Holmes impression Data was doing more on Basil Rathbone, who was the most iconic Holmes prior to Jeremy Brett, and definitely the most recognizable to American audiences at the time.
There were a few shots of Brett in this video that I swore was Brent Spiner
Were they the ones with the paler complexion?
Much well-founded love for Jeremy Brett, with which I heartily concur, but I’d like to raise a glass to the late great Eric Porter, who is the closest I’ve ever seen to Doyle’s Moriarty! 🥃
Genius!
His smile as Sherlock Holmes! Anybody else notice that the sketches on the walls are from Sidney Paget's works?
Well edited OB.
so perfect! LOVEEEEEEE
6:26 Elementary, my dear Holmes.
the military father's j.b. got an impressive fingerprint on his behaviour sons. J.B. challenged himself in acting like a blade sharp...
Jeremy Brett was the true Sherlock Holmes by appearance and personality. I love Cumberbatch and RDJ but of course those two were alternate versions of the character; Cumberbatch was a modern Holmes and RDJ was a more rugged, street fighter type of Holmes
the old 7%
Jeremy was a sexually confused man in the head a bi sexual man but a brilliant actor. The best Sherlock Homes!
The best
Easily the best Holmes. BC is great but he is not THE Holmes
Beauty 🖤🖤🖤
12:04 Well, just a jump to the left.
And then a step to the riiiiiiight!
