When these adaptations by Granada Television first aired between 1984 and 1994, I watched every episode. The world came to a stop for me as I enjoyed Jeremy Brett's authoritative interpretation of the great consulting detective. In essence, he became Sherlock Holmes. Both David Burke and Edward Hardwicke embodied Dr. John H. Watson, portraying him as competent, fearless, intelligent and reliable. This is unlike the buffoonish portrayal by Nigel Bruce in the 1930s and 40s. Charles Gray was excellent in the part of Mycroft Holmes. Rosalie Williams was the definitive Mrs. Hudson. All in all, these are classic performances by exceptional actors. It is a pleasure to watch these episodes once again. I will buy the complete series on Amazon before too long.

I love how they are all positioned at the first one. Renly is playfully leaning on his chair, Pycelle has sunk into his seat, Littlefinger is standing nonchalantly by himself and Varys is sitting towards the table with his back turned but is the only one to get up and greet Ned when he enters. Such a simple and quick way to get across so much characterization.

'It is not that he ever betrayed any sign of love .... all emotions like that are abhorrent to his cold, precise mind. He only looks on women pathologically ...' Pish! What real woman would care for the certificate of a try-hard 'eccentric' clutz like sherlock holmes ... or shall I say, his pathetic, try-hard creator, arthur conman doyle. As if he did not have the wits to realize that if he found women's general behaviour unsatisfactory, it is the innate misogyny of insecure men that is to blame.

The commenters below rightly wax poetic about Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, but they completely miss the range of this brilliant actor. To see Mr. Brett's range in all its glory, watch the musical "My Fair Lady" (the 1964 version). There you will see Jeremy Brett in is breakthrough ingenue role. I won't spoil it for you by telling you the role he plays. Just watch it and find him. It won't be hard. Boy, could that man SING! And he had the acting chops to hold his own against Wilfrid Hyde-White, Stanley Holloway, and Rex Harrison.
