In an interview, I heard Jeremy Brett giving tribute to all Sherlock Holmes actors before him, Basil Rathbone was more athletic, for example, and Edward Hardwicke knew the Watson teamed with Rathbone. That Watson, Nigel Bruce was played for laughs as it was WWII years. Jeremy did not want to ruin anyone's ideal Holmes. I remember him asking how does someone portray genius, as Sherlock was said to be? I like Rathbone but Jeremy Brett and, David and Edward as Watson used Conan Doyle's stories. Except for Hound Of The Baskervilles, I had not seen any Holmes series before this series. Cumberbatch and were okay, good acting, some too tense for me. Cheers, Peace, Sherlock Holmes fans.

"Ah Watson...its a Wicked World but when a Cleaver man turns his Brain to Crime it's the worse of All." Sherlock Holmes

We had to watch these short films for our short stories in class and honestly, after Musgrave Ritual, I started looking forward to hearing another Sherlock Holmes story. This was the second one we watched and honestly, I can’t help but watch this one again. Brett makes the story being told so enjoyable, something about his acting is so utterly charming. I had to ask my teacher where I could watch these, she seemed happy that I enjoyed them and directed me right to KZread… so here I am.

I wanted to leave this comment for "The Crooked Man," but comments were turned off . . . although it will certainly be true for every episode in this amazing series. Brett's face is a constantly changing canvas, registering every conceivable expression known to detectivekind, quick as lightning, conveying in the lift of an eyebrow, the curl of a lip, the twitch of a nostril, conveying his thoughts as clearly as if he had spoken. His must surely have been the most expressive face in the British film industry.

One of my favorite stories, no matter WHO plays Holmes. You almost want to cheer when Grimsby Roylett get his!

I am an International person: a painter and a fashion designer, currently living in Arizona. When I was a young girl growing up in the center of Moscow, Sherlock Holmes was one of my favourite heros. The Russian translation was brilliant and we had all volumes of Conan Doyle in our room (yes, I grew up in a commune flat). Later when I lived in Budapest I reread it in Hungarian. Hungarian translators are also amazing. Only when I lived in UK (Windsor) and I knew English well enough, I reread the adventures in English (that's how I know that both of the translations were absolutely incredible.) I have watched many versions of Sherlock Holmes from different countries, directors with excellent actors and my verdict is: Jeremy Brett and Vasily Livanov (Soviet/Russian series 2006) are the best, but their interpretations of the character are completely different. In Russia, Conan Doyle’s famous pair has always been seen as the epitome of flawless English style. Their vital attributes were keen wit, a bright mind, a sophisticated sense of humor, self-deprecation, an aristocratic view of the world, straight morals, and an exquisite sense of style. Russian series called: "Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson", because the personality of Doctor Watson is shown in such a powerful way that his role is equally important in the film. I can't say I have seen a better Watson than Vitaly Solomin. I don't know whether this Soviet film is available with English subtitles. Her Late Majesty Elizabeth II, gave Vasily Livanov an order of the British Empire (OBE) for “the most convincing portrayal of Holmes in world cinema.” When I visited London for the first time, I didn't go to British Museum , or National Gallery, or Buckingham Palace first, but I went to see the apartment of my old friends on Baker Street. To my astonishment, I learned from the Museum keeper, that there are still letters arriving to Mr. Holmes with requests to solve various mysteries.

@alanbobe-velez9716

I totally agree with you. In the Rathbone films, Watson was made out to be a bumbling fool. If there was a bucket with water in it, the Watson in the Rathbone movies would most certainly have put his foot in it. The two actors that portrayed Watson in the Jeremy Brett series gave us the true Watson, an intelligent medical doctor who had served in Her Majesty's military during one of the Anglo-Afghan wars and the loyal partner of Holmes who kept him grounded.

Jeremy Brett was excellent in bringing Sherlock Holmes to life in a fully believable and magical manner that no other actor has come close to. I strongly suspect that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have approved of Jeremy's portrait of Sherlock Holmes. You are dearly missed and will remain the one and only true Sherlock Holmes for me.

Brett and Burke are such an amazing duo as Sherlock and Watson and the rest of the cast is impecable ! Gosh the way his hands shake before turning off the lamb was amazing! ❤ And as someone else said their conscious choice to leave the snake off camera to amplify the essence of mystery and fear while they had filmed it with the snake on set was simply amazing 👏 clearly this production was out of this world! ❤

Even with everyone complaining in the comments about how snakes don't drink milk or have ears, who cares? The point is that it's a good story. It doesn't have to be changed so everything is factual. It's fiction; it doesn't need to be factual. That would be like rewriting Harry Potter because he couldn't get a lightning bolt shaped scar on his head from a magic wand, or rewriting Independence Day because Will Smith couldn't realistically drag a dead alien body for miles through the desert by himself. Fiction doesn't have to be true, just entertaining. If people only want stories that are perfectly factual, then watch nonfiction. Otherwise, enough about the snake, lol.

I then bought a Sherlock Holmes picture that I still have in my bedroom to this day. Then we had lunch and a few pints at the pub next door. Good Times! Lol

So glad you got a chance to go there. ❤Have Always dreamed of going but I see every show like holmes t v show and movie. I think I've read all the books and chart stories plus all the. Nicholas Meyer, books. And other pastiches. Hope i've got that word right.

He was the best Sherlock Holmes and a great actor and I luv that ,show

Love this story and this episode. This was the first Sherlock Holmes story I was ever exposed to. I recall it was sometime in the late 80s when I was 8 or 9 and it was on PBS I think. The two scenes I always remembered most were when Julia came stumbling out of her room and died in that hallway and when Holmes & Watson come upon the doctor dead with the snake wrapped around his neck. I can trace my fear of snakes to that particular moment. Jeremy Brett remains my favorite Holmes. He's the right amount of slightly off-putting manner/intelligence mixed with dashing. He can be blunt, but also capable of being supportive & gentle with those he's helping. All in all, very enjoyable!

This episode is so well-done, in terms of acting, directing, and everything else. I like how in the credits they show an alternative version of the snake appearing and Holmes driving it off, almost as if to simply confirm, "No, we didn't do it that way because it was easier. We kept it off-screen in that scene on purpose. See? Here it is. On-screen."

Oh yeah I absolutely agree! They chose to have the imagination of the audience do the rest or make it even more subtle and scary in the darkness while they clearly had a snake on set. What a brilliant idea

It is sad seeing J. Brett's face towards the final episodes where you knew there's something wrong with his health as he was sick and died soon after finishing these phenomenal series

Yes, he had heart disease and was apparently on diuretics, which is why his face was so puffy.

Sherlock(Jeremy) IS so firm yet gentle, and the the stepfather comes in! Wow.

47:04 I love this small detail where Watson looks seemingly surprised, and somewhat bewildered. In the later scene it’s confirmed that there was a mirror behind him, and the direction which he was looking at, just happened to be where the ventilator was located; you can tell from the distinctive shadowy form, which reflected itself on the mirror. The shadowy movement caught Watson’s attention, as he wasn’t expecting it at all, and subtly hinting that the criminal was about to send his enforcer to the victim.

Does anyone else find funny the scene between Holmes and the step-father when Holmes puts off the step-father’s questions about the girl? 😆

It's one of my favourite scene in all the series !

I was not a Holmes fan until Jeremy Brett, and he got me hooked. Thank you!

Amazing episode. I always love the language. So elegant.

EXCELLENT - I am in the midst of reading Dr. Watson's writings on Sherlock Holmes, and this held EVER so well to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's storyline.

The best and ever so definitive Sherlock Holmes in my heart. A beautiful human and wonderfully talented artist.

Though it's only a story, Doyle knew the economic condition of UK at that time. Due to fall in agri prices 1100£ came down to 800£, despite the fact that resources poured in from UK's colonies, especially from poor India.

I like that you see Holmes's hand shake with fear. He is genuinely apprehensive about what is to come. Then, when he sees the snake, he's frightened by it, and with good reason. Those emotions make him all the more heroic since it humanizes him but also shows his courage.

I love it when Holmes laughs 24:06

Love is back in my life. 💓 Sherlock Holmes. Those stories helped open my mind to the things I truly love, England and the United States.

I think Jeremy Brett us by far the best Sherlock Holmes EVER. So sad he did not live long enough to do all of them. He was absolutely perfect. We are lucky we got to see his genius as Holmes as much as we did

This is my first viewing of Jeremy Brett's performance of Doyle's work. Most other versions have been at best, loosely based on the stories but this is nearly verbatim. EXCELLENT!

This brings back so many fond memories for me. This is the first episode I ever saw and I was FASCINATED by Jeremy Brett. He's still, for me anyway, the best screen adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.

The intro music is awesome . Jeremy Brett is the best sherlock Holmes ever. No other actor can not even come close to him.

Helen's father was a major general Stoner. I went to high school with a few guys like that. 😏 All kidding aside, Rosalyn Landor does a fantastic job here as the client, and her onstage sister Denise Armon pulls off a terrific dying scene. The most perfect dramatisation of this work I've yet encountered.

"Nature red in tooth and claw." Without the people there's no discernment of "wicked". Or "good" for that matter.

Great to see these Jeremy Brett Sherlock's from back in the day. I remember them fondly from MYSTERY! on PBS.

I’ve been on a Sherlock binge lately. I always thought Basil Rathbone was the quintessential Sherlock but now, I’ve changed my mind to Jeremy Brett

Superb, tragic... I'm warming to Brett and Burke, they combine to recreate the formidable duo with such delicate though brilliant excellence, Bravo!

her voice is so deep - love it

I like that they have Watson bringing his "old Army revolver" with him on these cases. Even though the one shown in the episodes are actually World War I/II vintage Webley revolvers and Watson apparently carried a Webley Bulldog model which available when he was a regimental surgeon in the Second Afgan War, they are quite similar. Getting an authentic Bulldog would have been difficult, since most in any kind of decent shape are collectors items.

Wow....im just now diving into the Jeremy Brett Holmes series and I'm undone at how brilliantly he portrays this complex character that no one else has ever fully captured ❤❤❤ much respect. What an artist

This is excellent and I am enjoying it immensely. I love the British. Love Live the King!

Brett is my favorite Holmes!

WOW, what a story and the way it has been presented. Just marvellous. Series takes you in the victorian era. I have been following this series for some time now and feel it to be the best among stories written by Sir ACD. You really get tense, anxious towards the end. The acting of JB is amazing & to watch his expressions is a real pleasure. He is and will always be real Holmes!

They wouldn't have found the snake because the stepfather locked it in his safe. He didn't believe anyone would have the courage to actually come into his house let alone his room.

One thing I loved was the saying about doctors. "When they take to crime they become the best... Palmer n Pritchard ..no offense to physicians.. Apparently AC Doyle hasn't heard about lawyers!!!!! 😁😂

This is the first time holmes has offerd a cup of coffee to his client😎

Pure class. Nuff said.

I haven't seen this in years. It's like reconnecting with an old friend.

Great performance of Mr.Sherlock Holmes ever. 👍👍Respect from Russia (RIP, legendary Mr.J Brett)

What a great series...this is good programming, thank you PBS. This came out when I was younger and watched a lot of PBS. Not sure how many of the series or shows they had on would fly today...Benny Hill, Monty Python, I Claudius (had nudity). I loved Masterpiece Theater with Alistair Cooke, Nature with George Page, Mystery with Diana Rigg, All Creatures Great and Small, Inspector Morse, The Darling Buds of May....I can go on.

Yes, my favourite too and have enjoyed this wonderful story many times.

Wow, exotic creepy story and so brilliant "composed" by Mr. Sherlock Holmes - he`s so fantastic clever! ....btw., its the first time i saw his hands shaking because of fear! Thank you for a great episode

Britt TV presents excellent entertainment. The concern for factual historical detail is always exceptional.

loved this Holmes episode. this video had a good ending to it. yes. even though the murderer was killed by his own method of murder. it did save considerable expense for all concerned.

This series is definitive Sherlock Holmes portrayal for me. Quite unfortunate we can’t have shows like these anymore, with class and certain decorum of sorts. The new Bbc Sherlock, although good in its first season seems to be more for fans of flashy action while possessing little attention. This show, on the other hand, makes the pages of the book come to life, despite few liberties here and there.

Always enjoy Sherlock Homes stories.... So cleverly deduced.... The actors so well chosen, even Watson is a clever man
