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

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.

Over 100 actors played Holmes, but only Jeremy Brett became Holmes. Unprecedented. Unique. Unequaled. RIP Mr Brett. Your legacy lives on.

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.

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".

-my private writing paper -stolen! -my own seal -imitated! -my photograph -bought! -we were both in that photograph -photoshopped! -excuse me, WHAT

Sherlockian here. Jeremy Brett is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes. Not even a contest.

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!”

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.

That leap over the couch! "The Red-Headed League" 😊👍🏾

Brett’s face when he says ‘never the less’ in the mrs Lexington scene - pure quality

That moment when Holmes looks at the camera... awesome.

GOD the sassiness he has when he talks to lestrade is impeccable.

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.

Jeremy Brett delivered his lines so convincingly & firmly, he made all Sherlock Holmes lines quotable. He's the best!

“Thank you Watson for educating me on military morality” is legit a funnier line than 100% of “jokes” in Marvel movies

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

still the greatest comeback was in the dancing man "by jolly how ever did you find that?"" Sherlock: "Because I was looking for it""

6:08 "Thank you Watson, for educating me in military morality..." perfect line, perfectly delivered

Everytime I read Sherlock Holmes the image of Jeremy Brett comes in my eyes

Jeremy Brett was my Holmes. He's my go to when I'm in the mood for some Sherlock action.

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.

love Jeremy's performance of holmes; arrogant, steely-eyed, and single-minded on the case at hand. Wonderful! RIP Jeremy

As a young man, watching the climax of the last part of the "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and demise of Sherlock brought great sadness when he took a plunge down the cliff embraced with prof moriarty. Then came the happy moments with the "Return of Sherlock Holmes" and I decided that one day I would meet and shake Jeremy Brett's hand and would tell him how much I admired his performance. Alas, I was a fool, not knowing that he had died much before the series reached our part of the world - heartbreaking

Jeremy Brett will always be the best Sherlock Holmes ever!

The best Sherlock Holmes in my opinion.

'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....

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.

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.

"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

My favorite Sherlock Holmes. Don't get me wrong...I adore Cumberbatch, but my true admiration belongs to Jeremy Brett. Swoon :D

Jeremy Brett the one and only ever Holmes , Sherlock Holmes , was there ever another ? I think not

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!

We were both in that photograph. "PHOTOSHOP!"

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."

I enjoyed them all but Jeremy really nailed it

Elementary the way Sherlock outwits others with his words 😃 Gives me a chuckle every time

Brett was so poised, talented, classy and dramatic playing Sherlock ❤️

My all time favourite, which made me laugh endlessly, is @11:00. The irony drips off both their tongues.

"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!!" 😁

that smile.............................

Jeremy fue y será el gran Sherlock Holmes de todos los tiempos. Un amigo difícil de olvidar. 👍

"I am lost, without my Boswell." ❤️

Outstanding! Great compilation; captures essence of Holmes genius!

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

One of the splendid performance I have ever seen

6:54 - BEST. REACTION. EVER.

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.

my only wish is that Jeremy played Holmes while Jarred Harris played Moriarty now that would really be spine chilling

best sherlock ever

At 5:00 the most epic scene..and the laugh after....

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.

A most excellent collection. Absolutely first class.

David Burke played a good Dr Watson

The ultimate Holmes & Watson actors.

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.”

"We wish you joy." turns his head.

Excellent compilation! Thank you sir!

Unique genius. A performance that will last forever.

The Doctor vs. The Master = Sherlock Holmes vs. Moriarty

I've seen all the episodes multiple times but I don't recognize a lot of these scenes. Fun video!

I really liked the vlog as it gave me an opportunity to guess which case each clip came from. Bravo, what fun

My favourite

“I’ll see you hang for this!” “That privilege must surely be mine” the ultimate mic drop 🎤💥

Love 💓💓

Jeremy Brett was the best

🤗😉👍👌💯💪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐hipp hipp hoooraaay! Masterful acting!

Well edited OB.

Brett is Holmes. EOS.

Genius!

Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋

so perfect! LOVEEEEEEE

You missed holmes whistling when he learns of blessingtons suicide from dr. Trevelyon

6:26 Elementary, my dear Holmes.

LOL @ 11:58 - Mycroft…**clap** MYCROFT!

My mom would love every episode.

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.

He’s the best ever

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 best

the old 7%

you know looking at this, I can see that Brent Spiner did a very good job of impersonating the good Mr Homes here

0:33 WOAH!!!!

Omg omg wow

12:04 Well, just a jump to the left.

the military father's j.b. got an impressive fingerprint on his behaviour sons. J.B. challenged himself in acting like a blade sharp...

2:51

He beat Mr. Woodley like a rented mule!

The case with the snake was creepy … this is my favorite version of Sherlock besides the bbc version

Great Lines and Scenes by Japanese →SAWARI＝さわり・見せ場。　　話や物語の要点。the point 。a moving passage。 14:42〜14:55.

Me realising BBC almost completely quoted that beginning scene in their 19th century(?) ep--> : D /gen

The Granada series had the best Lestrade, the best Watson, and the best Holmes (including Mycroft).

The Second Stain was one of the better short stories. Along with Silver Blaze.

Easily the best Holmes. BC is great but he is not THE Holmes

Taught the dog to say sherlock Holmes.

Morphine or cocaine, two of the toxins I fell in love with, unfortunately. They and other chemicals have reeked havoc on my life, I'm solely to blame, but I honestly wished I'd never tried any stimulants or depressants in my life. Good luck to all🙏🕵️

So funny to see the doctor's reactions to Sherlocks use of drugs bother him. He was a doctor ffs. They prescribed heroin to people with asthma. I fear this "reactions" are added post mortem, to say it short after the 70's ALL DRUGS should be discouraged.
