Jeremy Brett - Wogan Interview, part 2 

Jeremy is the best Sherlock Holmes I have ever seen

I adore Jeremy Brett and I still get sad when I think of him not being with us anymore but then some souls are too sensitive for this harsh world we live in; I look forward to seeing him on the other side!!!

It come clear in this interview that Jeremy could not bear his wife death. It hurts me so to see him suffering. He was a remarkable person. I will always carry him in my mind till the ending of my time.

I put Jeremy Brett in my top ten favorite actors of all time. It was interesting to learn that he had been mentored by Sir Lawrence Olivier!

What a beautiful man he was!! You can tell that he was grieving on the show as they were talking about the cancer. I'll always love you dearly Mr. Brett😚❤

poor jeremy he is so touching RIP

It breaks my heart to see him like that..it's almost unbearable, he speaks with such sadness and emotion my god...may you be living happily with your wife in heaven Jeremy :')

Well I can't believe I've found this posting,I'm sat here watching one of the greatest Holmes ever to grace the screen. A fine actor ,certainly sadly missed by all. But even as time moves on and another generation of actors joins the ranks,great performers and even greater gentlemen will never be totally forgotten.

What a lovely lovely voice. Not only in its timbre but in its accent.

I think I've never heard anything more moving and beautiful than what Jeremy says about hope and the death of his wife. What a brilliant man! Thank you for posting it!

I think he's a great Holmes because he does bring warmth to the character. The character is known to be seemingly blunt and logical and distant but now and again Jeremy's portrayal leaks some genuine empathy. He shows he cares about the people he's helping and it's that that makes the character real and interesting.

what a gentle soul.

I'll love always Jeremy Brett.........ALWAYS....I as in love Jeremy Brett

One of Our Greatest Actors ever. What a Talent and so Sadly Missed.

Gone from us 24 years today, 9/12/19. Rest In Peace Dear Jeremy! So many people still love you and miss you so much. Never Forgotten! 💔😢

Our Dear Jeremy Such a wonderful and underated actor.We miss him much...

Jeremy was and is the best actor I have ever seen. I thank you all dear uploaders. I am German, so please forgive my writing mistakes. Jeremy was not only the best Sherlock Holmes-he was the best actor. I just remember films like Seagull Island and Twins (with Stefanie Power). He played very brilliant and it is still a loss in the film world. I was just a step away to see him live in theatre in London-unfortunately -of course- I couldn't get a ticket. It was sold out.

RIP Jeremy, the best holmes im sure

Today is 3 th of november jeremy bretts birthday what a amazing man he was

Huge Jeremy Brett fan.. but let's not forget Wogan.. what a legend..king of talk shows

thanks for uploading this interview ,he sounds like really lovely man (i know he passed away but i have crash on him) thanks loadsXX

He seems such a brave man! Obviously it is hard for him to talk about his wife... He'll never be forgotten and I am so proud and honored to watch his performances. He is truly magnificent.

Thank you so much for uploading this. It's wonderful to see and hear Jeremy talk about his acting and his life, too, and he comes across as such a sympathetic man, a kind soul, that you really listen what he says.

Was such a brave man.....and I believe that he was a very strong person, but when you have this powerful love for a certain person/and or pet(I've lost pets, that have been like my very own children).....You first become shocked, and numb....then you have a period of release, and then you have anger, all those feeling are 100 fold if you happen to have a chemical inbalance, and so, on Jeremy, it finally took it's toll.

Thank You for posting this. You don't see many Jeremy Brett Interviews and this one in particular was very touching.

I've just read a biography of Jeremy and he comes across as such a beautiful, kind soul. He was an amazing actor and is sadly missed ❤️❤️

RIP Jeremy,,we love u

Over 100 actors played Holmes, but only Jeremy Brett became Holmes. An enlarged heart due the rheumatism as a child, bipolar, loss mother in car crash, wife to cancer, dyslexic, 60 cigarettes a day, he literally shortened his life playing Holmes. RIP Mr Brett we are in your debt.

What a wonderful gentleman Jeremy was and so handsome ❣️❣️

the best Holmes ever

@greengrendel dearing me, I just thought the same thing as you, that "abrupt" is the best... Jeremy's body language and language itself was so rich and magnificent it makes me drool over my keyboard... requiescat in pace my beloved Jeremy.

@greengrendel **Swoon** Amen! He could stand still and just speak and we'd all flock to him; yet he had that beautiful body language, that business with the hands... Total package, Brett. God Bless him.

Lovely interview, lovely man.

Este gran actor, habla con la expresión de sus ojos y su cara!

We he is certainly my favorite Holmes. Nice to see him here. Heard he was ALMOST James Bond too but Roger Moore got the part. Holmes is much classier than Bond and I glad things went the way they did. He died too young though.

The more I watch his work not just sherlock holmes which of course is wonderful the clearer it becomes that this man was a great actor and a kind hearted soul who was not meant to stay with us long but will forever remain in our hearts

@ 3:00 mark....it took tremendous strength and courage for Jeremy to discuss these matters. Enough wasn't said about that. His acting and his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes are an inspiration. Rest in Peace Jeremy Brett.

ah, actresses... I guess he knew her then, that would explain the kiss. thanks. keep the Jeremy goodies a-comin'.

I very briefly met Jeremy whilst I was talking to Edward Hardwicke..and it was sad and at the same time almost comical..(though in hindsight now knowing he was Ill, it was very tragic) Jeremy popped his head out of the window onto the street at the side of a theatre where he was appearing and started to declaim about 'not wishing to appear rude but he really couldnt stand around and talk'..but the sad thing was that there was nobody around or listening,..just a couple of girls walking past who all giggled and one said rather loudly 'ooO look its Jeremy Brett!!' and the girls all giggled ..Edward Hardwicke just raised his eyebrows and looked at the floor shaking his head..for me it was a combination of awe , as Brett is my Holmes hero..and sadness because, as I later read, he was verging on a breakdown and, as a consequence, Edward Hardwicke was at his wits end..I can still vividly see him in my minds eye and I wish he had taken time out to get well..as it ultimately, if you read about his depression and the meds he had to take.. led to his untimely passing. A brilliant interpreter of Holmes and still my favourite to have played him .. even up against Rathbone

Outstanding!!!

I loved JB, he was the best Holmes ever,, The 2 Ladies dealing with cancer are the very famous Actresses- Jean Bolt-(Nellie Boswell) from the huge successful Tv show -BREAD- & the other is Liz Fraizer- from many CARRY ON films (Cabby/Doctor/Camping & Cleo, she was so beautiful as Cleopatra in that....

I hope Jeremy is, somewhere in the afterlife or heaven or something like that, happy with Joan Wilson. Also be happy with his ex-wife, Anna Massey.

very enjoyable much appreciated thankyou for posting

Jeremy Brett always proud of his Warwickshire roots.

Excellent upload.

This country has lost a true gentleman rest in peace Jeremy 😢

What a touching interview.. Jeremy said it so well thank you for sharing this

Jeremy was the best Sherlock Holmes and ultimate 😂

Maybe that's why he was so above and beyond. Not only did his personality perfectly suit the role, but he constantly had to strive hard to "find" Holmest, which if you think about it, is what every reflective person does, trying to find themselves.

he shall be missed

I'm not surprised brett was considered for Bond, but he's too cerebral. He's the english gentleman, thanks to his father (cavalry officer), but he would have lacked the physicality for Bond. Moore was an Army officer, so had the physicality. It all worked out for the best. Moore as Holmes would not have been good.

your uploading this is much appreciated one thing though, he said that it was his voice in my fair lady, but it wasnt was it? still, fascinating stuff

Oohhh Liz Fraser she was a peach😍😍😍 I remember having a MAJOR crush on her after seeing her as Pike's mother in the film version of Dad's Army (1971)!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mr. BRETT IS RIGHT!!!! Never understood Death....til my Father who suffered greatly with it....died in 1994 & I saw the Relief in Him when He died.

Love Jeremy Brett and also loved Liz Fraser.

what is it they say was a mistake in the Granada series? That Holmes had a...crew cut? Meaning his hair? I got a little confused there ^_^; To JBrettsgirl - thank you for posting this! It's a lovely interview.

Me gustaría conocer la biografía de JEREMY Brett y su trayectoria profesional. Gracias

What did he have in the 3rd series??

Jeremy Brett had a David Bowie voice. Or was it the other way around. Brett and Bowie should have impersonated one another. It would have been a wonderful listen.

What year was this interview?

But Jeremy Brett didn´t died of cancer he died of haert attact and of manio-depression which was much more worser than cancer but his second whife died of cancer and he never went over that. They had two children and from his first marriage he had one son.

👍👍👍🌹💖

what year was this filmed in ???

"666" Likes. ...........I dare not change it!

Jeremy fellow actor Edward was a gentleman as well

Thanks. Date? 1988-89? Who were the ladies again? And how come he kissed the 2nd one and not the 1st one? TIA.

Roger Moore was Sherlock Holmes in the one where he goes to New York. Definitely better than Robert Downey Jr

Lovely, but so sad, I too lost my partner to cancer.

@KatewiththeFace Yes, yes, veryyyy......:)

Ok forget, I found the answer :)

حیف واقعا ؛ عجب دنیای بدیه ؛هرکسی رو که دوست داریم از این دنیا میره؛ بعدش یک عده ادم که چی بگم شیطان صفت ؛ میمونن که ما رو زجر بدن ؛ روحت شاد دوستت دارم واسه همیشه جرمی عزیزم
