Every nuance...excellent. Beautiful photography even with over much black. Interesting angles. Lots of over- dramatizing that somehow works. The actors , unknown to we Americans, are complete characters with each including leads, milking it for all its worth. Thanksalot for the whole series!
My favorite Watson, the other looks very similar, sometimes it's hard to notice the difference, the other guy does good job, I just think this guy fits better with Brett
Holmes at his incorrigible best and Watson as he was intended, a great help and support to our great detective rather than a bumbling twit as some would portray him. The acting crew and whole shebang are exceptional. A thoroughly comprehensive period piece with added spice.
Erbie Murat, Thank you for your comment vis-a-vis Watson. The "artistic license" depictions of the doctor as incompetent comic relief (not in keeping with the literary source material and, aside from that, not believable as Holmes' character was one who didn't easily suffer foolishness) have long been irksome to me.
Dame Diana Rigg wore a black dress with short, puffy sleeves when she introduced this episode and gave the audience the closing message. Did she wear that black dress when she introduced a story about Roderick Alleyn, Brother Cadfael, Albert Campion, Adam Dalgliesh, Jules Maigret, Inspector Morse, Hercule Poirot, or Horace Rumpole? (Just asking.)
This episode is so well cast I must mention it. And the performances of each character are played pitch perfect. As Brett fans we often overlook the acting prowess of the supporting characters. On that other note, I’ll say that good male friends of good upbringing in those days often displayed an easy affection and intimacy that modern audiences are not familiar with in our homophobic times. This, I believe, has led the speculation of the two bosom friends being gay. This is unnecessary and distracting. As a culture we should move to a fuller understanding of these historical attitudes and appreciate their warm and frank expressions of affection as a natural occurrence in their circumstances.
Given its dark subject matter, this episode is remarkably restrained in its approach. Gay night clubs certainly thrived in Victorian London and so did blackmail.
Nicholas Grace, yeah! A favourite - other good roles he played were the Sheriff of Nottingham and of course, who could forget!?!?, Mr Grossman in the original channel 4 "max headroom:20 minutes into the future". Sort of the saving Grace of this episode.
I sometimes have to back track and use the CC when I miss a word. I don't know how anyone who depends on the CC can understand anything that's going on. The person responsible doesn't seem to have much of a command of English and even transcribed phonetically they are appalling.
omg jeremy brett is delish i love this episode but wished there was more shall i say romance jeremy in a flat cap mmm not sure wish i was where she was though when she was seducing him id have shown him a few tricks that would curled that lovley mop of hair he died too young rip jeremy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Holmes was never bisexual. He had a fear really of intimacy with women. A lot of men with that high an I. Q. And a bit of an social disorder usually stay away from relationships. They know how to act the part but rarely can they really be the part of a normal human being.
Sorry, but as a GAY Man..I find that whole, 'under-ground' Victorian drag-bar scene, not only quaint, but really rather ridiculous. Yes, such went on, but it seems--'MORE', yes; the director had little idea of what a drag bar is like, let alone a Victorian one. AND really, such hunky and seethingly masculine British soldiers, ogling over a 'K Mart Blue-Light Special' drag queen is just too, too precious. LMAO....I think, for its time--well oiled 'pretty-men' in Greco-Roman Tableaux would have been more suited to that crowds taste, or was that more the Berliner crowds taste? Ah, well---but THAT supposed 'romance/bromance'. Totally laughable. " Ah, the little grey cells; Hastings".
And you know how it was during victorian times? Roflmao ... because there can be "only ONE type" of gay entertainment. If that were the case then please all gays ... WAKE UP ... THIS ISNT THE 80s ANYMORE ... because I recently saw several pretty drunk gays coming out of a gay bar dressed like a stereotypical gay from the 80s. Since you seem to insist that "there can be only one" way for gay entertainment ...
how could you say? you were not there and why on earth wouldnt a soldier have that side o him in a repressiv e society? you know nothing about that time and can only speak as a gay man now....dont you get the nuance?It was hardly a bromance.please dont apply dumb modern thinking to this or your own value judgements

One of my favourite Holmes stories and nicely adapted, too. Jealousy, greed and blackmail are timeless problems...
I don't know, I think blackmail has gone a bit out of fashion.
Great to see Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies acting at the age of 100 about 4 minutes in! Never seen anyone that old still at it!
Another great performance by Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson :)Thank you for posting!
Holmes shouting at Mrs Hudson? _NEVER!_
Holmes sinks to unacceptable depths with Aggie

Poor Mrs Hudson! We forget it is actually her house and Holmes and Watson are just her tenants.
"We" don't forget, her role, although "minimal" is integral, as she is respected by H.& W. as a familial relation.
"As usual the sensational press has got it wrong" - Sherlock Homes
Holmes: "As usual, the sensational press has got it wrong." True then, true today.
Amazing series brett was amazing as Holmes absolutely excellent
Robert Hardy makes such a great villain..deranged even.
He's such a great actor.
Sounds like Cleo Lane doing the voice over of the drag guy singing Debussy's number. Quite nice.
Favorite. Cheers from San Francisco.
i subscribed because of your effort to do this. Thank you for good screen and sound.
so many bad evil characters and so many well cast, master craftsmen in acting creamy pole
Anyone else notice the theme music playing in the background when the envelope of money is exchanged?
Wonderful episode. But what the hell is happening in this comment section?
I hate my generation.
What IS happening? I don't see anything out of place?
Jeremy Brett The Best Sherlock Holmes ever!! Stunning Talented Precoiusidad Elegant Wonderfulll Charming Hot Charisma!! ✨🤍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
The shadow is bizarre when the man retrieved the letter from the fire. It does not match his movements.???

She died right after filming this at age 101
Wonderful entertainment.
Maturity is earned JEREMY BRETT THE BEST ,I MISS HIM SOOO MUCH 🍷📷💃
No one could act like Sherlock Holmes very good detective of the past Megan
i thought the Klimt homage was a nice touch.
That performance stopped my heart for a moment!

Our homophobic times? My dear, the times have never been less homophobic.
a heart of marble - Holmes is nobody's fool, and marvellously gallant. And "regimental dinner alas" = gay cross dressing club.

Holmes fancied know one man or women.he loved Watson dearly,but not in a sexual way.im sure these days he would be called asexual.
