    He is so humble the way he speaks of his characterization of Holmes. I don't think he realized just how wonderfully amazing he was and that the public viewed him as the best quintessential Holmes ever!

    • @amm287

      One reason of his being so amazing is because he is so humble.
      We all are lucky that he gave us his Holmes.

    For me personally I could listen to him talking endlessly for hours acting or not, every delivery is timeless, has a meaning and a reasoning behind it, his English and his class were second to none!
    RIP, Sir !

    Just finished his biography. So many insights into his childhood, his family, his horrid time at Eton, his Rheumatic fever, his personal relationships, and of course, his battle with bipolar disorder. It’s amazing he accomplished so much in his 61 years. An amazing actor, family man, and humble person at that. He was a generous, thoughtful, kind soul. Simply amazing that we were lucky enough share an Earthly portion with him, on the ribbon of time.🌹

    I read the books as a teenger and fell in love with them. Then, many many years later I found Brett on youtube and finally saw the Granada series. He absolutely matched the Holmes in my mind. He took the source material and poured himself into that shape. To me, Jeremy is Holmes.

    • @windwatcher11
      @windwatcher11 Před 7 měsíci

      I couldn't agree more. I had a similar experience. Having seen Basil Rathbone's Holmes originally, I fought the thought that Jeremy's was truer to Canon, but the fight was ridiculously short-lived! They both have that voice, but Basil's was uncomfortably conceited. All the stupid trappings of 1940s Hollywood didn't help either! Jeremy's Holmes transported me back to the original wonder I felt when I read those stories at the age of 13. Long live the King of Holmes! ❤

      Yes, I saw the play 4 times at Wyndhams Theatre. I still have the advertising poster. There was a small cafe, just across the road. I saw Jeremy dash from the theatre, shortly before a matinee performance, and pop into the cafe. When he returned, I asked him to sign my theatre programme. He was the perfect gentleman and thanked me for taking time out of my day to come and see him. Haha..the pleasure was all mine! Bless him❤️

    That torch was passed on definitely however, the torch is pretty much burned out because Jeremy Brett is no longer here and I am watching the series Once Again from my childhood.
    I was such a huge fan when the show originally came on back in the 80s and 90s. That I couldn't help but Watch it again.
    And it's amazing. I still remember the day when Jeremy Brett died back in September of 1995. As far as I'm concerned, he will always be Sherlock Holmes.

    Without Watson, Holmes could not exist in space and time. Holmes is ill suited for life amongst humans. Watson provides a key to open the door to that which Holmes cannot understand or tolerate. Watson feels privileged to be a part of Holmes' life. They truly love one another like David and Jonathan.

    Maybe he was a natural to play Sherlock and nobody knew till he did. Jeremy had to create the funny mannerisms of the Holmes he played, those amazing hand flourishes, the touches that make his Holmes come to life ad such a quirky individual. Robert Downey Jr. played a great Holmes. Love Jeremy. He's under my skin. I adore him.

    Always a pleasure to hear his voice. One truly great joy for me was reading June Thomson's Sherlock Holmes stories, which are lifted from the Conan Doyle stories and allude to cases that Holmes and Watson were involved with. I hear Jeremy Brett when I read them and it really brings the stories to life - almost like discovering there were more episodes made by Jeremy Brett that were never broadcast. THE greatest Sherlock Holmes, no question.
