The interviewer says “in 30 years” people will still be watching and loving them and they were absolutely right! I’m writing this in 2023, about 30 years after this interview and I have just been watching the entire series start to finish! They hold up marvelously well! What an incredible actor Jeremy Brett was! 🎩
Agreed. I just watched the whole series and I'm going to watch it again with my daughter. There can be no better Sherlock Holmes than Jeremy Brett's and Watson is also superb.
Jeremy had such a charisma that broke through time and space. It is saddening that both Jeremy and Edward are no longer with us. May their souls rest in peace...
30 years later the show still holds up to any other Holmes media and any other detective show. What an amazing, and brilliant series these folks put together.
ITV and all those involve did a terrific job, no one has really attempted to surpass it. There are pieces that state that the Russian early 80s version of Sherlock Holmes was better than the ITV effort (actor Vasily Livanov) but it's hard to tell given it's non-English.
Jeremy Brett was so excellent as Sherlock Holmes can't read the original stories anymore without seeing him, and David Burke and Edward Hardwicke were so amazing as Watson . I don't think anything can beat the Granada series, it had amazing actors, it was for the most part very close to the original stories and just everything.I also love the Holmes adaptions that are modern and take more leaps with the character like elementary And Sherlock but Granada will always be my favourite.
yes i agree he played the part so well as Sherlock Holmes but for me David Burke was the better of the two Watsons ,fantastic acting as well ,theres just something about the stories that encapsulates you ,i guess its the time of the horse and carriages , the oil lamp lighting the nights with shifty shadows on the walls etc
@@Hithere-ek4qt I mean I’m 16 and I think that Jeremy, David and Edward are the one and only both Watsons were exceptional idk what that means age wise 😂
I think you are both right, Jeremy Brett as Holmes he is fantastic,but Basil Ratbone also.. was great...Different times,different styles... But they both are wonderful as Holmes If i should decide who Is the one i prefer...i would go for Jeremy:)) P.s: Sorry for my english ,but i m italian...i hope you understood :))
“And this miracle occurred” classic line from Jeremy Brett ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘💋💋💋💋 they had brilliant chemistry on and off set. Best friend Sherlock Holmes could have Jeremy Brett said. What a jem
So good to see Brett relaxed like this. There are interviews when he's either coming into or going out of a more manic state. His mental affliction is well documented, though unintentionally. Love this man, and how he fought each battle.
Jeremy Brett is so handsome in real life but , because of his amazing acting skills , as Holmes he creates an image of obsessive insular rejection with regard to mankind's ability to love or show affection . Enigmatic , unreachable and rather severe as Holmes and really quite brilliant in Rebecca because he scared me witless when I was young . Sad loss at such a young age .
I recently learned of Mr. Brett's death this week - 15 years later-and was heartbroken. I mourn the death of this great artist, the only 'Sherlock' which I can ever appreciate, but I celebrate his life and work. Dave1955
I am watching Sherlock Holmes series on NetFlix for last 4 days continuously. But not even for a single moment I found it boring. I have read the complete Sherlock Holmes for at least 5 times, still watching the series was really a great experience. And all of this because of Jeremy and Edward\David. I think the only other audio-vidual experience which came so near to the original novel was The Godfather saga. I cannot imagine any other actor than Jeremy as Sherlock Holmes.
It's 2022 and I'm part of the newer generation. He's right about it holding up 30 years later and in the years to come. I'm a huge fan of Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke/David Burke.
To me, Jeremy Brett is _the_ Holmes but I can't possibly say who's the better Watson. I really like David Burke and Edward Hardwicke, they both make the part their own.
Much like Sherlock who always knew it was the small details that were the most significant, Jeremy captured that singular trait. That's why we will be able to watch these episodes for years and find something new every time.
Ah, man, it's always a joy to watch these two on screen. They are picture perfect Holmes and Watson, and it's a joy to watch them work. Much love from the U.S. of A.
thanks for agreeing. brett is also my fave, and only for holmes-series, but also for his all-acting talent. he had the voice, the looks and the grace... I can't believe he is not with us.
A great series. Not one bad episode. I like all the different Sherlock and Watson series and actors. The stories are so good. Each "pair" makes them unique.
Sherlock was a complicated man that needed a diverse and completely committed actor to portray him. No one will ever resonate this character as well as Jeremy. He will stand alone as the best ever.
Nice interview. Jeremy Brett became Sherlock Holmes - his absolute study of the character shows in each performance. Please keep in mind however the language of the day...'partner' and 'intimate friend' - both phrases used in the orginal stories did not mean what our society tends to lean toward today. Another phrase used in the stories/books is "knocked up", which simply meant a knock at the door woke them from sleep!
I went to see on Dec 26 and I loved it - I'm willing to see whatever interpretations others have manily because I'm such a fanatic for Sherlock Holmes - Still, JB will always be number one by FAR!
I'm find it very interesting to see Jeremy Brett in his natural state I keep thinking of his character of Sherlock Holmes and then comparing it to his true self, he is a very brilliant actor and certainly had me Charmed and engaged as a member of his audience. I hope and pray that his soul is resting with the Lord Jesus Christ.
@teamdoa I agree. I actually consider Burke and Hardwicke as equally the best Watson. When I say who my favourite Watson is I just say ''The Granada Watson''. Burke suggested Hardwicke himself and it was a great choice as they both look similar and they both gave thoughtful performances.
What a store of entertainment. I can watch this again on itv every episode. We used to record this stuff on great big VHS cassettes. Time changes but the quality of what they made at Grenada endures …
Jeremy is the real Sherlock Holmes, no one could ever come so closer and I daresay no one would ever come again. I would missed those 16 stories Granada production left unadapted, hope someday Jeremy will come back in another life ,happier ,healthier and handsome as he ever was and will the pending job.
I have happened upon this series rather late though I probably had watched a few episodes on the local PBS station. Now though I can appreciate the dynamic of the characters and the subtly of the performances. It's nice seeing Jeremy Brett smile in the interview as Sherlock Holmes rarely does and when he does its without warmth, unless its directed toward Watson, Mrs. Hudson or someone else that he respects and cares for.
This is the first time in this particular video that I see the resemblance Edward Hardwicke has to his father. I mean I've seen him literally thousands of times by now and for some reason I only saw it now. He does resemble him to a great degree. Great vid, thank you, love seeing these guys on and off the screen.
hese Granada Productions were very faithful to the stories. For decades since the beginning of film Holmes fans were waiting for these superlative expositions. Jeremy Brett was everything needed and more. The production values, the sets and the other actors Burke, Hardwicke et al brought the stories to life perfectly. The beauty of all this is that now any director or actors hired to have a go at the Holmes stories do not have to compete as it has already been done. So now they are free to experiment. The Benedict Cumberbatch/Martin Freeman productions were great. I hope they do more. Long live our appreciation and enjoyment of Jeremy Brett, we were lucky to have shared time on this planet with such a great actor.
also my big thanks for this interview..i never had the uppertunety too watch him this way..he was the best sherlock homes acteur in my eyes ..and still i love it too see him as that ....okee byyyy and thanks donri
I love Basil but NOBODY was even close to Jeremy, the PERFECT Holmes. And Hardwick's Watson redeems the character, who was really done a disservice by the bumbling fool portrayed by Nigel Bruce.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing when they said that!
I"ll say. He is missed and so Hardwicke.
Agreed. I just watched the whole series and I'm going to watch it again with my daughter. There can be no better Sherlock Holmes than Jeremy Brett's and Watson is also superb.
currently binging the entire series in August 23 x
Exactly! I just re-watched the entire series again this week for the umpteenth time. I'll keep re-watching for years to come! 🖖😁🤘🇨🇦
Jeremy had such a charisma that broke through time and space. It is saddening that both Jeremy and Edward are no longer with us. May their souls rest in peace...
😢
I'm intoxicated by Jeremy Brett..his charisma, voice, he should have lived forever x
You’re not alone! I’m in love with him still!❤😊
2021 and Jeremy is still the best Holmes.Forever in our hearts.
Only Jeremy Brett could pull off that scarf. Dude was a fucking rockstar.
Jeremy Brett was born for the role of Sherlock Holmes...brilliant...RIP..

Twas the golden era of British TV
Jeremy Brett: 3rd November 1933 - 12th September 1995. Edward Hardwicke: 7th August 1932 - 16th May 2011. They will be missed!!!
Jeremy was so handsome and engaging. I never get tired of watching these episodes.

jeremy is so damn adorable. it's hard not to smile when he smiles. charming. and edward looks like my dad
Jeremy Brett had a wonderful speaking voice. I could listen to him all day!
Jeremy Brett is a legend and no one can copy him, the way he gave birth t o actual Sherlock its immense and so real
Pure class and a extremely talented man, RIP
What classy and charming men.
We are American, retired, it is 2021 and we are still enjoy Brett and Hardwicke as Holmes and Watson. We love their take.
R.I.P to both of them, best holmes and watson there was
Depends on your age, I think.
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce certainly were also exceptional.

they did it. they portrayed the definitive version, surpassed Basil Rathbone even
“And this miracle occurred” classic line from Jeremy Brett ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘💋💋💋💋 they had brilliant chemistry on and off set. Best friend Sherlock Holmes could have Jeremy Brett said. What a jem
And 30 years later, it's become a classic!
They were right. Pushing 30 years, and this series is still the definitive version.
A Classic for all time!
Superb production and commitment from all concerned ... bravo
Yep and here we are 40 years later.
indeed it's 2024@@Gribbo9999
Thank you, Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke !

I am lucky to have met both of these gentlemen - they even wrote to me.
You lucky thing!
So lucky
Same.same
😮😮😮😢😢😢خوش بحالت
Both are magnificent! Both are sorely missed!
So sweet what they're saying about each other!
It's true what they're saying about it being viewed 30 years later!!
Brilliant actors both and charming men. RIP Jeremy.

من باشما هم عقیده ام❤
Jeremy is handsome and charming...
2020 ! Jeremy is the best holmes !
I just started watching the new series Sherlock. As brilliant as it is, Brett will always be the gold standard of Holmesian acting.
not to sound rude,but this new series featuring benedict cumberbatch was pretty awful for the most part.
@@ssm840 Too late.
It went well...jeremy brett was amazing i blush just by looking a him...handsome,classy...simply amazing.
Wonderful Jeremy Brett there will never be a Holmes like him
could listen to that voice all day it's just darling....... they both come across as very respectful towards each other.
To me, Jeremy Brett is _the_ Holmes but I can't possibly say who's the better Watson. I really like David Burke and Edward Hardwicke, they both make the part their own.
For me Jeremy is best Sherlock ever . True portrayal. Benedict comes in a distant second .
Loved Jeremy Brett. Never saw Cumberbatch, don't care if I ever do.
Much like Sherlock who always knew it was the small details that were the most significant, Jeremy captured that singular trait. That's why we will be able to watch these episodes for years and find something new every time.
I love Brett's voice. I have read the complete works on Sherlock homes. I remember all of them. Great connon Doyle.
Ah, man, it's always a joy to watch these two on screen. They are picture perfect Holmes and Watson, and it's a joy to watch them work. Much love from the U.S. of A.
Jeremy Brett was an original with style and flare and created the best Holmes to date.
30+ years later still watching
It's timeless!
30 years, indeed, and well on into the future...!🌸Bless them both.
thanks for agreeing. brett is also my fave, and only for holmes-series, but also for his all-acting talent. he had the voice, the looks and the grace... I can't believe he is not with us.
Absolutely first class Actos. I love both of them, Brett will always be the best Holmes. Thank you for great memories. Cheers from 🇨🇦.
and here we are, more than thirty years on - marvelous acting duo
Gracious wonderful men. I adored their work. We see little of such excellence today.
I’ve just fallen in love with this series! It’s classic. ❤️
A great series. Not one bad episode. I like all the different Sherlock and Watson series and actors. The stories are so good. Each "pair" makes them unique.
Exactly! I keep re-watching over and over again. Their THE consummate Holmes and Watson! 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦❤️
I recently discovered Jeremy. I absolutely love him! Wish I could have known him
These two were The best Holmes nd Watson ever...
Rip Jeremy brett no one would beat u ur the best sherlock homes ever no one will ever forget u
Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke are Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. They are and will always be a hard act follow.
I loved it when Jeremy called Edward a miracle
I am still watching them today. Indeed,it's been playing on my laptop for the last 24 hours.❤
Feeling the love for the series here, nice to see :-) brilliant series, brilliant actors.
They r sitting on the sets of series and how wonderful to c them relaxed and discussing the characters
Brett is d original best portrayed Holmes just like Connery is Bond, everlasting impression
Sherlock was a complicated man that needed a diverse and completely committed actor to portray him. No one will ever resonate this character as well as Jeremy. He will stand alone as the best ever.
A wonderful pair of fellows. 🐾
best sherlock ever!
Basil rathbone is the best
best sherlock holmes ever
Yes ... the pair of them absolutely nailed it ..,
Nice interview. Jeremy Brett became Sherlock Holmes - his absolute study of the character shows in each performance.

I went through all the possible posts I could find about Jeremy, David and Edward on RUclips. I am thrilled.
Still watching tv series 2021 love them both and missed great series
Holmes' line, "John if u love me hide" was one of the best moments...it showed there friendship stripped of Victoriana
The consummate Holmes. A very beautiful man , with a lovely voice & manner. 😊
Jeremy Brett as Mr. Holmes epitomizes the serious almost sinister smile. Sinister in a comforting sort of way.
2023 and Jeremy is still the best Holmes.
I went to see on Dec 26 and I loved it - I'm willing to see whatever interpretations others have manily because I'm such a fanatic for Sherlock Holmes - Still, JB will always be number one by FAR!

An amazing series. It was and is perfect!!!!
Here here, real actors here.
Television GOLD
Keep this on
There have been many definitive Sherlock Holmeses. The only _true_ one was Jeremy Brett.

I love Basil but NOBODY was even close to Jeremy, the PERFECT Holmes. And Hardwick's Watson redeems the character, who was really done a disservice by the bumbling fool portrayed by Nigel Bruce.
I believe these two where the best to date of Sherlock and Holmes I have ever seen in my 62 years. I will always like reading them best tho.
...indeed best Holmes and Watson ever, if any person fulfill mine visualization of Holmes it is Jeremy Brett.
Jeremy Brett's one of the top 3 best actors whoever played" S. Holmes."
