Re watching the 1980s Granada television adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. #JeremyBrett gets all the attention as a stellar Holmes, but #DavidBurke as Dr Watson is just as brilliant in a wonderfully understated way.

Brimming with warmth, but clearly an ex military man that can look after himself, you completely understand why Holmes respected him and valued his friendship. He is steadfast, charismatic and the rock that the whirlwind of Brett’s Holmes revolves around.

Update:

My long-time personal friends at

Continuing our retro Christmas TV viewing with the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes version of “The Blue Carbuncle”. Haven’t seen this in a very long time.

Continuing my #SherlockHolmes binge. Adding all the #JeremyBrett Holmes adventures to my @plex set up. Produced in the 80's and early 90's by Granada TV Brett gives an electric performance. Possibly the greatest Holmes to date. They were required viewing when I was a teenager.

I saw #ArthurConanDoyle's #Christmas #SherlockHolmes story, The Blue Carbuncle, twice last night: the 1968 BBC production with #PeterCushing as Holmes and the 1984 Granada version with #JeremyBrett .
Weirdly, Frank Middlemass was in both, as different characters.
Interesting to compare the choices made by the dramatists: both gave us unpleasant Countesses of Morcar, and cutaways to the sufferings of the wrongly arrested James Horner (a suicide attempt in '68, a tearful wife in '84) [continued]

Tonight I watched the Granada version of “The Blue Carbuncle” while I wrapped gifts (would you believe it’s on YouTube for free?!). One of my very favourite Christmas stories, and Jeremy Brett is at the height of his powers. The perfect Sherlock Holmes, and it’s really not close. #sherlockholmes #bluecarbuncle #jeremybrett #nomorewords

[1985] The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - “The Red Headed League”, what seems at first to be a harmless prank played upon a red-headed man is soon revealed to be much more: a sinister scheme devised by the Napoleon of Crime. Starring Jeremy Brett, David Burke, Tim McInnerny and Richard Wilson.

Hope everyone has a relaxing, or exciting day, like Holmes in the Naval Treaty (NAVA).

Time to mention the random but planned TV Shows I watch. #British #Mysteries. Not the new ones. Not the ones where they change the plot. We're talking #JeremyBrett as #SherlockHolmes and #MissMarple with #JoanHickson.
I definitely heart #Endeavour and #InspectorLewis and trying to get through #Morse.
Let's also add #Columbo and #Banacek for the Americans.

[1977] Supernatural - Chilling anthology series where membership to the secret society, The Club of the Damned, is granted through telling horror stories. This is "Mr. Nightingale" starring Jeremy Brett. A prim 35-year-old Englishman finds that a mysterious double is haunting him.
