Breaks my heart to hear him say "I'm going to complete the canon." knowing he couldn't due to not only his health being bad but his mental state as well. Not ashamed to say I paused to cry.

Yes I know 😢

I might add: a tremendous loss because it’s always a loss when a decent person dies . Not for selfish reasons , such as, we can not have more of his work. That is secondary and not important. The loss, is the loss of Jeremy Brett; that he is no longer with us .

Jeremy Brett: What a honest and wonderful man. Completely in touch with his feelings and not afraid to share them . . .

what an amazing interviewer. she was so gentle and actually let the man give a full answer. so grateful she interviewed him, wish it could have gone on so much longer.

Thank you for putting up the interview. It is a gem to listen to Brett, he is THE Sherlock Holmes. There will never be anyone better.

Jeremy was keen. He was Sherlock Holmes. There will never be another like him. Thank you for this treasure. He was able to separate himself from the difficulty of playing Holmes. I dearly miss him.

Goregeous man, in every way.❤️

Possible to fall in love with someone who has passed on? Yes,

Brett is a legend, an absolute legend.

So sad that he died before completing the cannon. Rest in blissful peace Dearest Jeremy!

I know he was an actor and Sherlock was fictional but Jeremy Brett was Sherlock Holmes!

Thank you. I'm happy to see others continue to watch him,love him,remember him.

What a lovely man! And the interviewer is superb. I just watched a horrible British TV interview, and this is a great antidote.

Themanwhocameback2 Liane Hansen was one of the best interviewers that I have ever heard. I’m so glad that she did this interview with the incomparable Jeremy Brett. It is a lasting gift to us all. Many, many thanks for posting this...

This was so beautifully bittersweet. It is so poignant that he wanted to complete the canon, but I reckon You Know Who was not willing to let him finish it and say goodbye. I do hope, in some dimension more benevolent than ours, I get to shake your hand my dear sir and tell you how helplessly I miss a man who passed on before I even came to life. For me, Mr Brett will always be like the character that he indeed gave life to.. immortal..what's born of the heart never dies. Thank you so much for posting this incredible interview macolleague

Wow. This is an amazing interview. Liane Hansen, one of the best interviewers in the world, and Jeremy Brett, the beloved talented brilliant Sherlock Holmes. Thank you for uploading this. You did a beautiful job with the photos reflecting what was being discussed! Thanks again!

You're so right! What an amazing interview

I recently have discovered Jeremy as Sherlock and to me, he IS Sherlock Holmes. He brought such a great depth and presence to the role and also a hint of vulnerability now and again. Listening to this interview makes me love Jeremy even more. What a sweet, incredible man. What a great loss to the world. I hope I can meet him someday when I am free of this earth.

I have felt the same way as you did about Jeremy Brett. When I leave this earth, it would be an honor to meet him along with John Lennon, Martin Luther King jr. and others.

He is the Sherlock Holmes and he was outside of his role so an extraordinary , warm and interesting person .I would love to have met both Sherlock (who of course never existed) and Jeremy (who sadly died way too young).

Well said. Apparently there was an amazingly observant doctor that Doyle knew and based Holmes on. So perhaps he existed indirectly.

From my heart, Thank you Mr. Brett

❤ Thank you for sharing this so much love for Jeremy Brett, dearest Holmes. Never will be another like him. Such a magical meeting of actor and character that touched so many lives. Holmes never so beloved till Jeremy Brett brought him to life. Thank you.

Gone from this realm 24 years today 9/12/19. Rest In Peace Dear Jeremy! Never Forgotten 💔

Cet homme était génial : acteur génial, homme génial, beauté et classe hors du commun et une âme pure. Un ange est passé sur Terre...

There was a time I was so moved by just how well Brett captured Doyle's Holmes, my eyes welled with admiration for his craftsmanship.

Love the interview. Beautiful.

What a talent... what a talent and what a joy to watch!

Oh god, the feels, I remeber being in my grandparents house when I saw him the first time. I had no idea at that time that he had died eight years or so previously. I loved him, Mr. Burke, and Mr. Hardwicke from the very moment I saw them on screen. He was Holmes to me, and when I read the books years later, I saw him and a mixture of Mr. Burke and Mr. Hardwicke in my head. His precision, his drawl, they were all there in my mind during every adventure. I can honestly say that Holmes was my first and longest lasting character crush, because of this man. Holmes also made the fact that I didn't fit in school easier, because I had him to look up to. He taught me that you didn't have to be like everyone else to be something worth while, and Mr. Brett had no small part in that education. If there is an afterlife, and it is allowed, I would like to meet Mr. Brett and to thank him for being such a defining part of my childhood. R. I. P.

When she asked "When you're done with the cannon, what else is there to do?" ..it sent shivers down my spine. I expected him to say "I can die then..." Sadly he died even before.

SUCH A SPECIAL MAN!!!!!!!

This is a wonderful discovery. Thank you so very much for posting one of the most kind and literate interviews it has ever been my privilege to experience. Mr. Brett was certainly the definitive Holmes, and how much passion and care he brought to his art! Rest in peace, Mr. Brett, there are so many who love and remember you.

Such a great man and actor. May he rest in peace..

Thanks for posting. Here's to Brett!

You are a hero to us Jeremy.

Only recently started to rekindle my interest in Sherlock again, but remember Brett from my youth. Now a good many years later, I still find him a wonderful, sensitive man who I could listen to and watch for hours. He will be forever missed and IMO was the best Sherlock there was. Thanks for sharing :)

That part that he says that he will complet the canon is really touching. What happened is that Holmes loved so much Brett, that he grabbed him forcibly into his immortality. His body needed to rest, his soul wil abide for as much as we keep his memory alive.

Thank you so much ... poor Mr.Brett he sounds awfully upset still after 6 years.... What a great man!

Much appreciated by another big fan, despite his passing some years back. I hardly knew JB as an actor before this personification, but in that role, he WAS and IS Holmes to me.

We can't get over our loss of jeremy.

I grew up watching the Granada Holmes in Japan. They were dubbed of course, but still superb, and many kids and teens fell in love with Jeremy. He inspired me to read the Canon in first place. On my first trip to London, I went straight to 221B Baker St on the very first day.

A beautiful man and stellar performer.

In his voice, as in some moment of the SH episodes, I can clearly hear his already compromised lungs and heart (or more likely, both); Signs of the disease which would contribute to his death only a few short years after this interview.

I was one of those kids also; really enjoyed both his and basil rathbone's versions.

Am a fan of Mr Brett,did not know he went thru so much in his life. Its sad to find this out. Just hoped he somehow found ways of enjoying himself after his terrible loss,cos i can relate.rip mr holmes.

What nice interview with a beautiful man. Thank you kindly for this post❤

What a great interview. Thanks so much for uploading this 👍

Such a bittersweet interview - especially when he says he is to do the entire canon. :( Difficult to hold back the tears there... I wish Jeremy could have lived today to see how beloved Holmes is all over the world right now with the BBC show and the Warner Brothers movies and everything - and I wish someone could let him know how loved he himself still is!

It's sad hearing him talk about how Holmes never entered Brett's dreams, because the former eventually did show up as the latter's health deteriorated. From what I recall, Brett even said that his dreams about Holmes "turned into nightmares".

Thank you so much for posting. It's a wonderful way to remember him.

@hadassah179- There are 60 total stories, 4 of which were novels. So sad to hear Brett wanted to finish the canon here but we know now he never got the chance. Damn that woulda been awesome.

Thanks for this, are there more interviews? Thanks Thanks Thanks.

*Even though, I've only just found him and don't really know him* ... *I like him very much* " *A kiss sent by my Angel* " *Thanks for being you*

Varias veces se le entrecortaba la voz. Hoy se cumplen 19 años de haberse ido al viaje que todos en algún momento haremos. Descubrí a Jeremy Brett nada más y nada menos que hace dos semanas, y de verdad me quedé enganchada y encantada a su persona, a su belleza y a su gran talento. Obviamente, como le leí a alguien: "muchos actores han interpretado a Sherlock Holmes, pero Jeremy Brett es Sherlock Holmes".

I never knew that he meant to complete the canon... That's incredibly sad..

Reading your comment, I was suddenly struck by this inspiration: We know that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman can do a convincing periode version of Holmes, set in Victorian/Edwardian times. Interest them in a project to honor Jeremy and Edward Hardwick by finishing the series, even going so far as to reproducing the sets and the music. This could complete the series and revive public's memory of one of the finest Holmes series that featured Jeremy and Edward.

Thanks for your kind comments, and thanks for watching! ^^

Big wow for uploading this - A M A Z I N G! Thank u!

Interesting comments about his dreams. Thanks for uploading.

What an amazing actor. My favorite Sherlock along with Basil Rathbone

Lovely to hear his voice. It could have been yesterday. Ah, Jeremy.. you have no idea how big a part you played in so many people's lives. I wish you hadn't smoked so much.

Many thanks for watching and your very kind comments ;D

What a wonderful man and human being, introducing the real Sherlock Holmes

Thanks

Jeremy Brett IS Holmes!

How Precious ✨💞🌹

you don't get over it; you get used to it...

Big thank you for watching! ;D

@julia5959: You are most welcome; glad you enjoy, and thank you for your subscription. xo

Poor Jeremy talking about his wife Joan and what he suffered after her loss. I too lost my partner to cancer and it's so hard to go on alone.

Liane Hansen...those were the days.

How many a number are there total in "the cannon" of the sherlock stories?

Los árboles crean la forma de una cara... en la parte superior izquierda del video 0:01

He never did get to complete the canon. :(

This is a series which couldn't be made today, despite advances in technology. Watson would be black and Mrs Hudson would be trans, probably. In the background, it'd look like contempt London. What a shame we're afraid to portray London as it looked in the latter half of the nineteenth century
