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

- A compendium of great or iconic lines and scenes from Granada's 1984 "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," featuring Jeremy Brett and David Burke, still considered by many or most to have been the best and most canonical adaptation of the Arthur Conan Doyle mysteries.
The scenes naturally focus on the dialogue of the Holmes character and are shown in their proper sequence so as to better impart the overall mood and arc of the series. Alas, many excellent scenes were deleted or edited in the making of this video so as to limit the overall length to less than 22 minutes. - Zábava
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.
He was the master of his craft.
Exactly
Over 100 actors played Holmes, but only Jeremy Brett became Holmes. Unprecedented. Unique. Unequaled. RIP Mr Brett. Your legacy lives on.
brett was as great as burke was awful
An example of tragically fitting casting. Brett smoked probably as much as Holmes did, and (likely enabled / exacerbated by his Bipolar disorder) the role of Holmes "consumed him" between the TV series and stage work.
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".
Yes, that was in "The Problem of Thor Bridge".

-excuse me, WHAT
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!”
That line popped into my head , driving to work this morning. I have never heard anyone ever use the word "disputatious" in my life, but that was the perfect word to use.
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.
RoryAddict indeed so..he not only played the role but lived in the character..😊
RoryAddict
Yes he is the person I imagine when I read the stories, his voice in my head.
It is a beautiful thing. In a sort of way, he lives on through Holmes
:D I´ve had no Spider-, Super- or Ironman. My hero of my youth was Jeremy Brett aka Sherlock Holmes :D ... loved him ...3:42 :D :D :D
@@abhishekbhattacharya5697 And literally he did so!
You read my mind. I like to see other interpretations of Holmes, but Brett is the Ideal.
Sherlockian here. Jeremy Brett is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes. Not even a contest.
That leap over the couch! "The Red-Headed League" 😊👍🏾
6:08 "Thank you Watson, for educating me in military morality..." perfect line, perfectly delivered
And it's not even an original line, but works so well one might mistake it for a Doyle invention.
Brett’s face when he says ‘never the less’ in the mrs Lexington scene - pure quality
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.
That moment when Holmes looks at the camera... awesome.
still the greatest comeback was in the dancing man "by jolly how ever did you find that?"" Sherlock: "Because I was looking for it""
“Thank you Watson for educating me on military morality” is legit a funnier line than 100% of “jokes” in Marvel movies
REAL
Fr 😂 Hes always got me laughing i love him
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
He has the presence and mannerisms of an experienced stage actor.
Jeremy Brett delivered his lines so convincingly & firmly, he made all Sherlock Holmes lines quotable.
He's the best!
He is a wonderful theater actor and has been a fine actor in film and television. He is as good as Lawrence Olivier if not better.jeramey we miss you so much.
Everytime I read Sherlock Holmes the image of Jeremy Brett comes in my eyes
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.
Holmes : 'You have killed four opponents'
The Grand Duke : 'Honorably !'
Holmes 'Of course.'
Genius....
love Jeremy's performance of holmes; arrogant, steely-eyed, and single-minded on the case at hand. Wonderful! RIP Jeremy
Jeremy Brett will always be the best Sherlock Holmes ever!
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
@stephen noonan You are lucky you caught a glimpse of the genius, live. May his soul rest in peace
@@pakibluemannn Don't worry. If you're good you shall meet "The Sainted Sleuth" (Anthony Burgesses's description) again.

Én se tudtam felfogni, hogy akinek a játékát ámulattal nézem 2024-ben,már 1995-ben meghalt, méghozzá fájdalmasan fiatalon😔
Jeremy Brett was my Holmes. He's my go to when I'm in the mood for some Sherlock action.
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.
As Holmes himself would say, ""Quite so."
Your comment about Moriarty is stunningly spot on. He is the very personification of pure evil.
"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
That is a quote from the book. Holmes says that to Miss Stoner when they are examining Roylott's room.
Because it is
It is...
'But it's only a quarter past seven ! Is there a fire !?' That's me every morning.
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.
I saw a picture of him before death and he actually lost weight… he looked oddly not sick.
The best Sherlock Holmes in my opinion.
My favorite Sherlock Holmes. Don't get me wrong...I adore Cumberbatch, but my true admiration belongs to Jeremy Brett. Swoon :D
Cumberbatch brings Holmes into the modern world in a way that fits perfectly into the everyday world we see around us today and all the technologies and varying problems we come across. In the same way Jeremy Brett brought to life the true Sherlock Holmes as he was first conceived of in Victorian England with all the knowledge of people and places habits of the various classes and their codes of conduct and even tobacco (the leaving on of a cigar band would give you the reputation of a "Cad and a Bounder" for example) that would be totally irrelevant today due to mass production and technology taking away jobs that would be done by certain people and therefor easier to trace.
Shout out to Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing too.
Cumberbatch's sherlock is an abomination. The actor does a good job but the whole product is just horrible.
I prefer RDJ
Cumberbatch is a joke. If Sherlock would have been exist he will be without a doubt Jeremy's Brett interpretation.
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!
Jeremy Brett the one and only ever Holmes , Sherlock Holmes , was there ever another ? I think not
Jeremy is the best
I enjoyed them all but Jeremy really nailed it
"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!!" 😁

This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the
many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage,
screen, radio and TV adaptations.
"I am lost, without my Boswell." ❤️
Elementary the way Sherlock outwits others with his words 😃
Gives me a chuckle every time
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."
Outstanding! Great compilation; captures essence of Holmes genius!
that smile.............................
Jeremy fue y será el gran Sherlock Holmes de todos los tiempos. Un amigo difícil de olvidar. 👍
One of the splendid performance I have ever seen
My all time favourite, which made me laugh endlessly, is @11:00. The irony drips off both their tongues.
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
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.
6:54 - BEST. REACTION. EVER.
11:25 is not bad either.
my only wish is that Jeremy played Holmes while Jarred Harris played Moriarty now that would really be spine chilling
Oh God that indeed would have been chilling and amazing to behold!
A most excellent collection. Absolutely first class.
best sherlock ever
Excellent compilation! Thank you sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
At 5:00 the most epic scene..and the laugh after....
Unique genius. A performance that will last forever.
David Burke played a good Dr Watson
"We wish you joy." turns his head.
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.
Cumberbatch's line readings are too rushed and defensive. Almost as if he is conceding to the African woman's never ending insults that he is a 'Freak". Brett speaks as if he is speaking "Truth" and anyone who thinks otherwise, is the freak.
@@Themanwhocameback2 I can see your point, however I see it more as Cumberbatch is simply impatient with ineptitude or ignorance. His Sherlock disdains the fact that he has to slow down to others level.
That being said, Brett's delivery is absolutely the best ever.
@@42roadsforman44 Yes, but for Cumberbatch it simply seems like he's just forcing his neurotic view on another neurotic's view. Brett seems like he's channeling eternal truths. "Education is never ending, Watson, it is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last". Holmes knew this.
Cumberbatch's "Sherlock", as Watson calls him , doesn't know this.
The Doctor vs. The Master
=
Sherlock Holmes vs. Moriarty
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.”
I really liked the vlog as it gave me an opportunity to guess which case each clip came from. Bravo, what fun
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jeremy Brett was the best
The ultimate Holmes & Watson actors.
I've seen all the episodes multiple times but I don't recognize a lot of these scenes. Fun video!
Love 💓💓
My favourite
Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋
🤗😉👍👌💯💪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐hipp hipp hoooraaay! Masterful acting!
Brett is Holmes. EOS.
My mom would love every episode.
6:26 Elementary, my dear Holmes.
Genius!
You missed holmes whistling when he learns of blessingtons suicide from dr. Trevelyon
Yes. And that is written in the original Conan Doyle story
LOL @ 11:58 - Mycroft…**clap** MYCROFT!
Well edited OB.
He’s the best ever
the old 7%
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.
Only the two?
the Russian Holmes was better ;-)
Robert Downey, Jr is a disgrace Sherlock Holmes
Benedict cabbagepatch is amazing as Sherlock Holmes as well in my opinion. Downy was horrible. But Jeremy’s makeup and hair artists should be executed.
You should try the BBC Radio version. Jeremy Brett is a wonderful Holmes, but so is Clive Merrison
you know looking at this, I can see that Brent Spiner did a very good job of impersonating the good Mr Homes here
There is indeed a resemblance, but I prefer Mr Brett over Mr Spiner for this role, at least.
indeed, but its just something I only realized just now after looking back at it in hindsight, as one of his mannerisms in this just jogged my memory of him here.
Though oddly enough, I think he might have been basing the Holmes impression Data was doing more on Basil Rathbone, who was the most iconic Holmes prior to Jeremy Brett, and definitely the most recognizable to American audiences at the time.
There were a few shots of Brett in this video that I swore was Brent Spiner
Were they the ones with the paler complexion?
The best
The Granada series had the best Lestrade, the best Watson, and the best Holmes (including Mycroft).
Without any doubt😊
so perfect! LOVEEEEEEE
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 military father's j.b. got an impressive fingerprint on his behaviour sons. J.B. challenged himself in acting like a blade sharp...
Me realising BBC almost completely quoted that beginning scene in their 19th century(?) ep--> : D /gen
0:33 WOAH!!!!
Omg omg wow
Easily the best Holmes. BC is great but he is not THE Holmes
12:04 Well, just a jump to the left.
The Second Stain was one of the better short stories. Along with Silver Blaze.
2:51
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.
Taught the dog to say sherlock Holmes.
Good for you, idiot.
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🙏🕵️
When a doctor goes wrong he is the first of criminals : If only the greater Manchester police would have taken heed of these words...
No I must disagree, remember the times they represent and how language was used, the Dr being intelligent and of great respect is 'the first' of criminals...
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.
Wow! Back up! Is there really an English actor who could say Stein how it should be? Not Steen or Stine or steyin?
11:00 🥹
This is classic Holmes. Its fantastic. But i don't get why people hate on Ben's. To me you can see the clear similarities, you can even see visual similarities between the actors. but if this exact Holmes was in 2009-2017, he would have been wildly misplaced, moreso then the character is supposed to be.
U can see the similarities because ben tried to copy brett. Brett on the other hand was original , brought his own flavour of the character. Ofc people will like original than a copy
