Who are Gus and Luke? Are you guys in movie and TV business? Gus, you have beautiful voice.

Other than the music having the aggressive, bland, and unmusical percussiveness of a Tom Cruise film, this is an adequate trailer. For the 50th anniversary trailer, please try to get permission to use Patrick Gowers' theme music. The theme is quite good. 😏 ruclips.net/video/MMJF9uXhCdU/видео.htmlfeature=shared

yeah, I'm 3 years late but that's what happens when you just find RUclips videos for the 1st time. Jeremy Brett rode horses since he was a child, and at one time even dreamed of becoming a jockey - which fate took care of when he grew to over 6 feet tall. Some people have criticized his very graceful dismount as being too dangerous, since there is a risk of hitting the horse's neck with your leg, but it looks like he easily cleared this mount. I was just watching his dismount as D'Artagnan in the Three Musketeers which aired in 1966 and he was dismounting the same way there. I've heard it called a Calvary dismount, and it makes sense if his father was really in the Calvary. I've also watched a lot of British Calvary officers dismount the more standard way, so I don't know if there's any truth to the matter. However, it does seem like it would give a soldier an advantage to come off facing forward toward the enemy as opposed to facing your horse's side.

What I love about Homes is that there are no women in it, apart from playing the occasional hoe or moron. Such a reflection of reality.

Don't know if anybody will read this but.. The top hats. Jeremy's hat is definitely a real hat from the period. You can still find authentic ones. Even now, more than 100 yrs later. They were made from a cardboard base, stretched with processed beaver fur, dyed black. I don't know of anyone who has direct knowledge of how this was done. I know that no one in the world can do it any longer, though these hat were completely common place in that day. Own 3 from the period and i treat them like babies. It's definitely not Locke and Co. Theirs are pressed felt and, frankly, a shabby imitation

Wow. This is such a find. Jeremy Brett and the Granada Sherlock series deserves this fine treatment. Well done! So impressed. Love all the insight and background. As a big fan of the Granada series, this is such a great find. Never imaged it!

Nadie como él. Bravo jeremy!!!

"grotesque" is a french word, from "grotte" = cave (préhistoric cave) Grotesque means "bizarre , from an other age" Cheers from Bretagne, France.

Re: He will be sorely missed. Mr. Davies died on August 16, 2024. We are so lucky, and so thankful to the crew of this podcast for recording their memories for us.

Drives me crazy when you guys talk about HD and standard definition. As I recall these shows were shot on 16mm film, a huge money saver. They were transfered to video for broadcast, but that would have had nothing to do with picture clarity.

I listened to the commentary, and I really didn't notice the event with the boom mic even after it was pointed out to me. Sometimes it is nice just being an ordinary viewer and taking things at face value without seeing all the flaws. However, I thought I'd give a shout out to the adapter of this play - whom I believe was John Hawkesworth. (Please correct me if I'm wrong). In the now iconic scene where Holmes is greeted in the morning by Watson and enticed to eat some breakfast it is the simple rearrangement of some lines which really add punch to the original story, without straying from the lines of Doyle. In the story, the line "our case will end ingloriously by Lestrade hanging our client" immediately precedes Watson's leave-taking for the evening, and when he greets him in the morning Holmes suggests that they eat and go out together. By making the simple switch of the "hanging our client" line to the am when he has not slept, and transferring the "let us go out together and see what we can do" to Watson, it creates a tender, caring moment without entirely destroying the original lines.

I know its late, but I just wanted to weigh in on the final leap. To me, it fits Holmes character. We know that Holmes had emotions, he just chose to generally repress them to allow logic to be the basis for his solutions to crimes. Yet when not actually solving a crime he can, and does, display them; usually to Watson. Sometimes, they surface anyways even in the midst of a puzzle, such as when he revealed his true concern for Watson when he was shot, and declared fervently that if the shooter had killed Watson he would not have left the room alive. Other instances where Holmes is overcome by his emotions are the times of inactivity between cases when he will lay on the couch for days without speaking, when he is moved by Lestrade's comments in the 6 Napoleons - although he reveals his emotions only briefly before once more hiding them; when he breaks out in laughter in the Red Headed League; when he is absolutely morose over the idea that Lestrade would hang his client in the Norwood Builder. We also know that Holmes tends to subvert his emotional energy into physical energy. He is not always cautious when he sees an opportunity to act - such as fighting with the thief in the Naval Treaty, and he has a tendency towards the theatrical. This is shown again when he presents the treaty in the Naval Treaty, and when he gathers everyone together to yell "fire" in the Norwood Builder. Besides all of the tendency to the physical, he is an immense patriot. Who else would shoot "VR" in the wall of their lodgings? (again, not a carefully thought-out move). His speech on the 'cleaner, better, stronger' England that is found in "The Final Bow" is more proof of these feelings. In the 2nd stain, we see all these physical manifestations of an inner emotional state. He ran in and ran out, played snatches upon his violin, smoked cigarettes, sank into reveries, hardly answered questions put to him by Watson. When he hears of the 2nd stain, Doyle writes "all the demoniacal force of the man masked behind that listless manner burst out in a paroxysm of energy" as he frantically claws at the floor. We also know that Holmes takes his greatest delight in his work: "it is its own reward". Combine his boundless energy from a case, his delight in solving a case AND saving his country from harm, and I hardly think that a single jump in exultation in the presence only of his dear friend Watson is out of line.

You tricked me in to clicking.. There is no such video. Why don't you do something worthwhile? You're riding on Brett's coat tails. YOU WASTE MY TIME AS i DON'T REALLY GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK. Your BLOCKED!

Respectfully, this is far from my favorite episode. The actor playing Woodley overacts to the point where his villainy is almost comic. David Burke overdoes it as well, and Watson comes across as a buffoon. Most importantly, Jeremy Brett, while skillful as ever, seems yet to have comfortably settled into Holmes character. He acts the role rather than inhabiting it. I do very much appreciate the podcast, though!

Stinking click-bait garbage.

Glad do watching👀👀

Yet another of my favourite episodes of the series. Appreciate your podcast so much. Thanks Gus and Luke.

Always enjoy your podcast. On recommending episodes, the Solitary Cyclist doesn't resonate with me. I would recommend the Red Circle and the Six Napoleans I think.

I understood that the family was redoing the upstairs rooms while the family is in America, and that the unused rooms were therefore off limits. When Percy becomes ill, although he already has a room, presumably it is upstairs. The brother-in-law was given the only downstairs room. You can't put such a very sick man upstairs, even if that is where his room is, so he HAS TO go in the downstairs room, and his brother-in-law must be moved. Even if the family is not away, such an invalid would be given the downstairs room. Its what we did when my dad was sick for about 8 months - he was not permitted to climb stairs therefore the living room was converted to a bedroom/sitting room. Percy is far too ill to be climbing upstairs.

What a marvelous interview! I could sit and listen to her tell tales for hours, she is a wonderful story-teller. But... This has stayed with me ever since I heard it. The part where she says "he gave into his illness, he literally gave into it". When he passed out on set, or when he caught pneumonia filming in the cold night air, she didn't comment about him "giving in" to his illness. His mental illness was every bit as real as his physical ailments - he wasn't just a little down, or a little bit excited like all of us get at times. So he didn't "give into" his illness, he was really unwell. I felt so depressed by this, as if she gave up on him while he was still alive. I know she was a boss, a co-worker, and worst of all the object of his unwanted attention (as sure a sign of mania as there is) and not his mother. Still, that hurts. Its a relationship that he ruined, and probably felt very bad about, as is usually the case. I was glad to read the rest of his life's story from other sources - and very glad to see that while he had at least one more manic episode, he returned to his baseline good humor and gentle ways and was in his right mind at the very end of his life.

One of my favourite episodes because of the cozy feeling created in spite of the grime and addiction.

On your ratings, I always look forward to Final Problem, love the Mona Lisa opening, can't stand Solitary Cyclist, utterly dislike Copper Beaches which makes no logical sense to me; Musgrave Ritual is way too morbid while Brett's laughter in that episode feels unnatural. I like to view Final Problem and Empty House one right after the next: such great tension and expectation. Enjoy your podcast tremendously!

When frequently visiting this honoured podcast it is always like coming in to a safe and friendly port. And in this case to be welcomed by the dearest of old friends. This is an historically important audio treasure. I feel very grateful and more than a little emotional, to listen to this ' Burkeian ' Sherlockian conversation. I'm so grateful Burke agreed to participate and with Anna there to helpfully interject now and then. And I do hope, as claimed, it wasn't the disagreeable experience he worried about. Time is clearly passing. What Burke has given us will enjoy its immortality.

The best tv Holmes sorry Benedict. I vaguely remember Tom Baker played him on tv or was it my imagination??

Thank you so much for the interview! It answered questions I've had for years.

Wish I had listened to this earlier, this was wonderful and so very insightful! He will be sorely missed.

Thank You so much ❤

Where is the video??? I don’t care for a “podcast” …. Signed off the frigging podcast …..

The weirdest thing about this episode and the subsequent ones on initial viewing was that I absolutely didn’t notice the change in actor playing Watson!😂. I think because Hardwicke narrated the opening recap of the climax of the previous episode and then appeared in the scenes showing the aftermath of Holmes’ “death” I was completely fooled into assuming he’d been in all the previous episodes. This was before dvds, on-demand, internet etc, so at the time, to me, it was a seamless transition. Genius casting.

Books have been written about this series. Intricate studies of its perfection, from conception to execution. A wonder for public and critics alike. A crowning achievement for the dazzling performance of its central figure. The flawless weave of all the constituting elements. A pleasure for the mind and senses. This happy miracle of the 1980s, and it is ours forever !

The One and Only

I was thinking when you were explaining about humbugs that you would perhaps tie them in with their role as an aid to stop smoking. Now that they have nicotine patches and vapes they may have fallen out of favor, but they used to be used to keep your mouth and hands busy when you were trying to quit. This makes the timing of the humbugs fit right in, since Lestrade is questioning whether or not they can smoke and Holmes says "no" (in no uncertain terms). Right after that then Watson offers the humbug. I definitely remember people who were trying to stop smoking carrying, as Watson does, bags or pockets full of humbugs to see them through. At least they were awfully big on that back in the 60s and 70s.

I have recently rediscovered my love for the series and I want to thank you for the podcast. I knew that Doyle wanted to be done with Sherlock and was curious how 13 became 56. Amazing how massive an impact this character has had. Such a shame that he died before getting to complete the series. His portrayal was superlative ❤

❤

Fantastic. Disappointed I couldn't make it but great to hear all the stories & have ordered a pack to console myself. Well done guys

Watson, DO sit down

At 1:19:58 they talk about colonel coming to the window and looking at Holmes and Watson from the window and that this gave away that he was the culprit. Well in this episode multiple characters have that kinda moment, the distraction moment you could say. When Holmes and Watson leave after talking to the ticket seller at the train station, he immediately picks up the phone to call someone to possibly report about Holmes' inquiry. And Sidney Johnson, the older man showing Holmes the plans makes a suspicious "they're getting too close to truth" kinda expression after Holmes leaves the office. So they gave all three characters suspicious moments.

Thanks for sharing, and thank you for all your hard work making Brettcon happen. Just listening to the podcast made me smile. Thank you again, and Cheers!

Just discovered your wonderful channel by accident. I've watched everything. Will you be doing more content going forward?

❤J.b❤

When Oldacre walked into his office, McFarlane should have said "No thank you, Sir. I know the history of yourself and my Mother, and I have no wish to engage with you on any matter. Good day." End of story !

This is audio not video as requested

Just stumbled on to this and am thoroughly enjoying it! That Holdhurst theory y’all read out during the discussion sounds to me like how a modern adaptation would handle/alter this story

I know I'm 3 years late on this, but just having listened to this episode, I just wanted to mention that the DVD set of The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which we have here in Finland (published by Finnkino), has the episode Priory School as the second episode on the DVD.

I loved David Burke as Watson. I missed his portrayl of Watson. However i also liked Edward Hardwicke

A Herculean episode gentlemen: thank you so much! You articulated many of my confusions/frustrations with this episode, which I have watched many times and always lose the thread partway through, which is a shame. I’m a little surprised though that there was no mention of Jonny Lee Miller’s “Hounded” Elementary episode, since Cumberbatch’s Sherlock was on the menu? I resisted Elementary for a long time but now it’s a favorite iteration.

Thanks a million for this episode.... So good to hear about this wonderful event especially for those of us who couldn't be there

Can i know the name of the star music

So happy to hear how well this event went! It sounds like a truly memorable and heartwarming day for all involved. Wahay!
