To my mind, he was the perfect Holmes. There will never be anyone like him.<br /><br />I don't think he lived a 'happy' life either, but at least, he gave us a superb Holmes to remember him by.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by my blog. ;)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-81745058166147918632011-01-05T15:42:47.322-05:002011-01-05T15:42:47.322-05:00I would just like to say that Jeremy Brett was tru...I would just like to say that Jeremy Brett was truly amazing. I doubt there will ever be someone like him ever again and i'm truly sad that i wasn't around when he was alive. I have watched all the Sherlock Holmes that he played and i have read about his life and family. I feel sorry that he became such a great actor, yet his father made him change his name for the families sake. I'm not quite sure if he lived a happy life: his wives died and he never really recovered from the second wife's death. |to sum it all up, it's birlliant to find another person who truly appreciates Jeremy Brett.Mash Mashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550016938866415185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-85974544113378477112010-11-05T13:39:16.350-04:002010-11-05T13:39:16.350-04:00Thanks so much for letting me know, Nicolas.

I thought Hardwicke was especially good in THE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSE, when Holmes comes back from the dead. I liked him too, but there was just something about Burke...Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-32973742974987637832010-11-05T06:10:02.745-04:002010-11-05T06:10:02.745-04:00Re: Burke.

It was Burke who recommended Edward Hardwicke as his replacement! While I love Hardwicke in the role, I do tend to lean towards the Burke episodes for preference. Dynamic is a good word to describe them.<br /><br />Oh, and the fob is cool, and much loved. I still wear it from time to time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-56999470780930258672010-11-04T11:09:16.089-04:002010-11-04T11:09:16.089-04:00Roberta: You're welcome, thanks for dropping b...Roberta: You're welcome, thanks for dropping by.

It struck me looking at the photos you'd chosen just how stylish Brett was in the role. I think this is something that really appealed to me as a teenager (I started wearing a fob watch to school as a result!). I especially like that one of Brett and Burke above - they just look perfect in the roles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
