Jeremy Brett - Best Ever Sherlock Holmes Quotes (Season One) 

Agreed!

We still wish that he could get one and both dr watsons. It seems the ethical thing to do!

Just goes to show the uselessness of the institution. Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes there ever was and ever will be.

WHAT??? that almost makes me cry

@@TheMasterNinjaRyu Indeed a scandel of great proportions

which episode is it?

I laughed so hard, I don't know why 😂

Around 1:43, it's just epic Jeremy Brett.

You are right❤🙏🙋‍♀️

One of the best face acting ever put to film.

give me time, I shall be portraying him for charity next year

Good luck.

Amen Kian. I find it impossible to re-read a Holmes story without imagining Jeremy as Sherlock. He, and the Granada show as a whole, nailed it. Until something else comes along that's as faithful to the source material/character, he's permanently in my head cast. "Sherlock" and Cumberbatch are a lot of fun but the departure they've made from the source material keeps anybody in that cast from coming to mind while reading the original stories. Which I think would be fine with Moffat/Gatiss/Cumberbatch/etc as I don't think they were ever trying to replace the literary character or any other portrayal, just trying to create something new out of the familiar.

Admiral Tug Benson I've liked John Watson's modern update because we rarely understand the reasons why he became Sherlock Holmes faithful companion. Otherwise, I've loved Jeremy Brett and Ian Richardson as Sherlock for breathing life into ACD's creation.

Admiral Tug Benson IMO Cumberbach is a good actor but falls a bit flat as holmes. Brett had such a more dynamic range, a depth and immersion into character, brought out in a very intense way

Basil Rathbone in the 30s-40s was an excellent Sherlock Holmes, but unfortunately his films did not stick to the cannon.

@@sextoncardew903 Sure but he still was under the Jeremy brett portrayal even if you ignore not cannon films, because Brett had the most depth than any other Sherlock Holmes protrayal in any movie or in any tv series and that's a fact. None could have into the depth of Shelrock Holkmes character like Jeremy Brett did, andf that list includes Basil Rathbone.

& he looked d part too. It will be difficult for other actors to better his portrayal.

@@Apeironization1 Shelrock Holkmes sounds like some Nordic Holmes knockoff. 😂

@@DeltaSilver88 Brett looks like exactly like from the original novels and original stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I share your feelings for Jeremy, his portrayal of Holmes is beyond amazing, he was an incredible man, a great actor and when he died my heart was broken, I had read he had health issues but I didn't know he was close to death. I am happy that Jeremy had a son, David Huggins, Huggins was Jeremy's actual last name to carry on the bloodline. I'm now watching the entire series of Sherlock Holmes from 1984 to 1994, I find myself laughing and crying as I watch his performances. The show was so well produced, the cast was expertly picked and the modified script only added to the original stories. Everything, the railroad cars and engines, the horses and buggies, the old architecture, the in era clothing and so much more brought life to each episode, it led you to believe you were watching scenes from the late 1800's or at least it visually looked that way. Jeremy gave me an appreciation of how a self respecting man should behave, with class, how to dress and present himself. I realize he was just playing a part but I believe a part of Jeremy's own personality was incorporated into ACD's Holmes which only enhanced the character. I will miss and admire Jeremy until I pass. Rest well Jeremy, you are loved and missed by millions, God has you now.

@@peterjones4621 Brett's son, David Huggins, was born to Anna Massey! Brett ditched Anna Massey for a bloke! I had to get over a huge resentment before I could really appreciate how brilliant he was as Holmes.

HE SOUNDS SO VERY DISAPPOINTED!

When you are trying to lead the group project but everyone is unenthusiastic

What's the title of that story?

@@daveandrewmartinez2545 , 'the Norwood builder'. I so adore Jeremy Brett. He is exquisite...

Every time I see a version of The Norwood Builder, it always impresses me how artificial and unrealistic the group call of 'FIRE!' is.

because he gives us all so much joy watching him!

In the BBC Sherlock, they reference that line in the first episode with Cumberbatch's Sherlock using nicotine patches.

What pipe is he smoking during this line?

Sherlock dont talk to me In 50 mins

Garrett Shade Moriarty* :>

Colonel Sebastian Moran!

😀😀😀

And they are more now.

Wow. Your words captured 100% how most of us feel in our hearts for Jeremy Brett and the entire series ❤

I proceeded to read this sentence as Jeremy Brett because of your profile photo.

Edd Jones Kudos and congratulations to you then. I applaud.

Jace Roberts Read zem all. HUE HUE HUE. If you are a book worm, book reader, or book eater, you HAVE TO read Holmes. If you want to learn and gain wisdom you have to read Holmes, Tsun Tzu's Art of War, among few other books.

mindsoulbody I LOVE the Art of War!! To tell the truth I've been thinking of reading through it again. :D You guys have no idea how happy it makes me to know that there actually are other people out there who read books.

i have

re-reading sherlock holmes

🤣

AND YET - it wasn't too much! You couldn't really accuse him of scene-stealing because he's both completely in character and isn't being all OTT 'Look at me!' about it! I would have loved to have seen him onstage

@@LexiWolfeactress No, the whistle is almost under-playing. And it's so unexpected, especially after Dr. Trevelyan's almost melodramatic announcement.. The whistle seems somehow American (I am an American). I thought it was Jeremy's ad lib, but I looked it up and it's in the Conan Doyle story.

it's in the story but he chose to portray in that particular way, so perfect.

Jack McCullough Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Rathbone's portrayal immensely. Before Brett, Rathbone's Holmes was largely considered to be the definitive take on the role, which is an opinion shared by many - even the writers of Sherlock. To my own personal tastes, however flawed they may appear, Rathbone was too warm, too friendly. The vision of Holmes I took away from the books was of a character who was strange, aloof, cold, and blunt. Something that Cumberbatch captures, at least in the first two series.

You forgot Vasily Livanov. For me he is number 3 after Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch...

perfect! ^^

Moser Gray Honorable mention to Data from Star Trek

You forgot Richard Roxburgh.

Indobedably!

inconceivable!

update - the self tape got me booked!

I was about to comment that Conan Doyle would have found Brett’s interpretation of Holmes to be the most accurate but you beat me to it!

His daughter actually wrote to Jeremy saying he was the Sherlock Holmes of her childhood

Indeed Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes in his best portrayal! Missed him truly!

They wrapped it up before he died; they had come to the conclusion that after 10 years it was the right time, regardless of Brett's health. He was 60 at the time, they had filmed the best stories, there was no planning to go on.

Conan probably wouldn't want to talk about Holmes. He hated writing Holmes, but his finances depended on it.

Very well put. Sadly it helped that he suffered from depression himself

Yes it's the edgy personality he brings to d Holmes character.

@@paddypup1836 I think Brett was actually manic-depressive which explains why he portrays both the manic and moody sides of Holmes so well. He already had experience of them.

Paddy Pup depression is a pathway to many abilities... Winston Churchill also had it

@@DeltaSilver88 Yes Jeremy Brett was bipolar.

Jeremy Brett was one of Britain's few dozen truely naturally gifted actors. Magnificent actor. So charismatic but always subliminal and natural. ❤

Toth K. he did esp younger

His smile is like sunshine. :)

👱👯👼👸👰😍😍

I actually see a Disney villain since his face reminds me of Frollo. 😂

I do have a little crush on him, too =D

I agree 100%!
