Devil's Foot - Part 1 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not as good as the book, but still worth watching.

[@scottdickens1967]

Jeremy is and will always be the Best Sherlock Holmes ever, one of a Kind . Just Like Elvis an Original , the best ever. Brett is the one who made sherlock a household name again . He will always be Sherlock !

[@10toMidnight]

Scott Dickens agreed!

[@lbluebird486]

I totally agree with you now that I have watched almost every single one of them. He just has that "edge of appeal, mystery, arrogance, yet, humor...with a smirk!" He's PERFECT!!!

[@siddharthraychaudhuri7250]

Jeremy Brett mastered the art o becoming Sherlock Holmes. He became Sherlock Holmes!

[@susanbrown2909]

You think they would travel in a closed in...carriage . Poor Sherlock in the cold...love him. The best Sherlock Holmes ever. And Edward as Watson. Sadly missed.

[@Omegawolf1000]

He cut his hair short in a fit of depression, after his wife died... R.I.P. Jeremy brett ♥ we'll never forget you!

[@aceventura8890]

Silver McKey I love the comments. Thanks for sharing. He is/was so wonderful

[@barbaracrickley6191]

Silver McKey What was his wife's name.?

[@kimjaeyoo]

6:55 Watson: "Cornish hospitality, Huh!"I like the violin sound at 7:30!

[@amel6206]

"I must travel alone, Watson." "Nonsense. You're on holiday."

[@slukky]

brett is untouchable!

[@feralbluee]

Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes ever!!!! considering he was bipolar, he work was just amazing.

[@philweatherell9403]

Well said

[@feralbluee]

thanks - so glad you agree :}

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

Alexa Penn and its so sad he passed way too soon.....so sad.

[@aceventura8890]

Probably why he was so good

[@mushroomshrub]

I grew up watching Brett reruns on ITV3 with my parents, so naturally he's my favourite Holmes, notwithstanding his absolutely amazing performances, though Benedict Cumberbatch is taking a closer second than I thought anyone ever would.

[@haoshenme]

Buried a syringe on the beach......Hope I never run across that beach with barefoot! :P Love JB!

[@ladycharsw]

I love Jeremy, as the best Sherlock and Edward Hardwick as Dr Watson. The actors in Sherlock seemed so real. Like they could act so good. And the 📽️ ng it in England too. Thank you.

[@KermitW00T]

YES I had so hoped to be able to watch this. It's one of my favourite Holmes stories (for its creepiness)!

[@enoki79]

thanks for posting sherlock holmes. it's one of the best things i look forward to watching after a long day

[@ralphwaldow9615]

Did anyone see Brett play the character, Freddie, in the movie "My Fair Lady". He even sang.

[@ParkSeoHamStar]

Sir Jeremy Brett The Amazing Admirable Actor!! ✨👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

Mr Brett was ths best Sherlock.

[@randomdave30]

And the best example of casting EVER.

[@hadassah179]

Seeing Holmes look so stiff in the carriage makes me wanna hug him and not let go.

[@alienhazy]

I like how Holmes hides his arm and the heroin/cocaine from Watson when he walks in so cute omg

[@dwightstewart7181]

Cute? Nonsense. A person addicted to drugs couldn't reliably deduce himself out of a wet paper bag. Holmes would have been homeless, feeding his habit with what little money he could steal or scrounge.

[@Leelee407]

One of my top five Sherlock Holmes episodes/story. Now to find the other four .even if seen hundreds of times before.

[@suggsmvp55]

Do you know dinner...at the vicarage...is a splendid idea!

[@AzureOcean100]

I think the whole Brett vs Rathbone is really unfair, after all it should be more like: 1939 vs 1980's

[@DemMedHornene]

jeremy brett = all time best sherlock holmes actor

[@MVObooks]

Watson: Holmes is a sick man! Homes: *deadly cough* yes *cough* but getting better, Watson

[@hadassah179]

One thing I've noticed both cannot live without, Watson insisting on being fed and Holmes being kept warm!

[@cattycatterson]

i love him

[@hiteshahuja]

thanks a lot for the uploads.. real delight to watch good old sherlock holmes

[@steemdup]

nothing wrong with being bipolar as long as the individual is on effective medication

[@apurvakmr]

But the pain of experiencing extremes takes a toll.

[@Derleiter17]

There will never be a Sherlock Holmes quite like Jeremy Brett. RIP.

[@effikraft4061]

Happy birthday Holmes!

[@grimlund]

I did not know that Edward had died. Saw it to day. A sad day.... R.I.P Jeremy and Edward. You will be remembered as the best Holmes and Watson on film ever....

[@2msvalkyrie529]

The scene @ 4.09 - 5.14 ......just brilliant !

[@joannhopkins7411]

They are so great this made my weekend

[@chetansingh2006]

the lead actor is fabulous and inspiring

[@viola551]

Oh that laugh from 5:13 to 5:21! JB, I so adore you.

[@joannhopkins7411]

Holmes laugh is so sinister I love it 😎😎😎😎😎

[@kevinjudy7218]

BEAUTY. Great filming and bizarre story....

[@MegaMidgetNinja]

Fact about the scene where Sherlock gets rid of his cocaine bottle and syringe: He doesn't kick the habit in the book. This was added in due to Granada finding out that the show was reeling in younger viewers.

[@tinalynch-horton3320]

I just love old fashion movies and I'm such a big fan of Sherlock Holmes and Watsons movies. To me, the old black and white are my favorite.

[@codrutasalomia]

Best Holmes ever.

[@Chakdegirl]

I love SH like hell...I have complete collection of the novels and I do not let anybody touch them.....

[@lbluebird486]

What a surprise....at 0:949 right before it cuts off, Sherlock takes a sip out of a "Butterfly tea cup". I have those tea cups!! They are made by Lenox and mine came in a set of 4, with a color half way up from the bottom (which I could not tell since he had it covered with his hand), but mine have, blue, pink, green & yellow just half way up and then the rest is white. The 'Lenox Pattern is "Butterfly Meadow" and I have a few dinner plates each having a different butterfly/flower design on it, one large serving bowl, one large platter and a couple plain white dinner plates embossed with raised plain white small butterflies, which can be used with the others. I also have larger butterfly mugs of the pattern, which could be used for tea or coffee, but they are so pretty and shaped so nice. You can get the plain white embossed larger mug (if you want to call it a mug) to match also. I'm surprised because I started collecting the pieces about 8-10 yrs ago while in North Carolina. I found you can still get a piece or two at TJ Maxx or Marshall's Home Goods store. I just love Sherlock, never get tired of watching any of them. I wondered what year they filmed this?

[@peterdavies4306]

It was broadcast in April 1988, so I would guess it was filmed in 1987. Lovely to hear about your Lenox tea cups - I'm a china collector myself. :)

[@lbluebird486]

I love pretty teacups, but don't collect very much. It's hard not to though. I believe in using what you buy and hate having to wash collectibles a couple times a year (as a child had to do that, so said I'd never have nic nacs-have very few). What are your favs of what u have though? Do you collect a certain style or, designer or company? I also LOVE old flatware! Doesn't have to be pure silver, as long as it is 'unique'. Today's generation doesn't appreciate the quality and artistic design which went into making china or anything of quality hundreds of years ago. Love to 'browse' antique shops, rarely buy at my age. Just seeing unusual things is such a treat! I went into a local historical house recently which is set up with collectibles from an old local family. To my surprise, had never seen "glove vases" before. Her collection was amazing! I regret I don't remember how far back it went. Will check and let you know, if you like? Very intrigued by old wrought iron gates/door pulls, stairways; cooking utensils and those beautiful old gas lanterns which hung in hallways/walls. They are hard to find though. I have a beautiful ceiling light fixture, no where to use it, so if you have any creative ideas, please share. Pinterest has some nice pics of old pieces sometimes mixed in here and there. My fav old teacup has "pansies" on it. Yet, butterflies are my passion. Have lots of things with butterflies worked into the design in some way. Would love to hear what you collect and enjoy. L :)

[@peterdavies4306]

It sounds like we have very similar tastes! Like yourself, I use most of the things that I buy. I collect bits of Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Waterford, as well as Arthur Price flatware (I live in the UK, so those companies are easier to find), and I do use them every day! My favourite piece would probably be a beautiful 19th century tea tray that I picked up from an antiques dealer twenty years ago - it's made of walnut, with an elaborate marquetry inlay, and is so pretty - and it does get used regularly! I had to laugh when you mentioned having an old light fixture with nowhere to put it, because I'm in the exact same situation! I saw a gorgeous stained glass ceiling light years ago, and couldn't resist it. Unfortunately it's far too big for my little living room - it would look a bit silly - but I keep it tucked away, and one day I hope to live somewhere big enough to use it! Antique door handles/door knockers, kitchen utensils are beautiful too, and I'm currently saving to buy a lovely old Vienna clock. I don't have a particular one in mind - I'll just save what I can over the next year or two and wait for a nice one to appear on the market. :)

[@lbluebird486]

You are absolutely right, we do! What I would give to talk to you right now and see your items, it would be so exciting. My piddly few are nothing compared to yours, I'm sure. Until my daughter grew up, I was the only one who had an interest in these sorts of things. I would spend a couple hours in the china dept alone, looking and wishing I lived the lifestyle to use them, not to show off, but for the pieces to be appreciated. It would be fun to go browsing with someone like you who knows so much more than I, but still have respect for the designer and what goes into to making it. Take a look at this. I was trying to find an example of your marquetry inlay. only found boxes so far, but do so love the look; then found this: www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/87820261461707752/ Oh my, it's gorgeous! I'm not too into gold, but because it's swans, I LOVE the delicate design. I'm familiar with all the names you mentioned except Arthur Price. I will look it up as well. I just had a cup of hot tea and need another. Just got home, it's freezing outside and can't get warm. Btw, I absolutely LOVE old clocks!! I do not have any, but I find them so detailed and intriguing, if done by the right artist. I look at the old ones and sometimes feel like they hold the secrets of the family...not sure why I feel that. :) Look forward to chatting again. Lana :)

[@peterdavies4306]

Thank you very much for your kind message! I’m sure you have a wonderful collection! The important thing about a collection, after all, is not how many pieces you have, but how much you love them and how well you care for them. :) It’s really lovely to hear that your daughter shares your interest in these things. There is nothing better than sharing these things with a family member! You should arrange a few shopping trips together. :) I don’t have many things passed down to me by my family, but I wear my grandfather’s old watch, and it means more to me than any other watch in the world because it belonged to him. :) The designs you linked to are beautiful indeed! I’m not a great fan of gold either, but those really are lovely, and the level of artistry is incredible!

[@TonyW1000]

Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes. Always the best in my view.

[@daleheath9680]

He buries the needle..he let go.. Enough fuckin said.. "Death is always with us.." "Quite so.."

[@flyinspirals]

I dearly love the Jeremy Brett versions of my hero S.H.; it's only that the opening theme (and even the incidental music) is almost too effective -- makes me uneasy every single time : )

[@kimjaeyoo]

"Death is always with us.""Quite so."

[@CarolynandKeith]

i was thrilled to see how Holmes dropped the habit.

[@Jcolinsol]

Jeremy Brett is my favorite Sherlock Holmes. He even smokes a churchwarden.

[@TheKulu42]

@Cloudminty I spoke to a friend and fellow Holmes fan about this depression theory, and she suggested that Holmes may have been bipolar. His sudden mood swings suggest this, so it's a sound theory. And again, he may have been trying to self medicate with cocaine.

[@ShawDAMAN]

I agree 100%. The Downey film is obviously not faithful even to the spirit of the original stories, and it's sad as you said that they feel that more violence and so called "sex appeal" is the way to "adapt" Holmes to the current generation. Makes me sick

[@TheKulu42]

I can't help wonder if Holmes suffered for clinical depression, thus making his cocaine use an attempt at self-medication. Look at how Brett portrayed Homes--lack of appetite, mood swings, his inability to withstand inactivity. Back in those days, he would have been on his own when it came to treatment.

[@uncled39]

7 people are in the employ of the Professor

[@TraineeHero]

To me, Jeremy Brett will always be Sherlock Holmes. I know some people say Basil Rathbone because he was the original or something, but Rathbone's series just didn't get the dynamic between Holmes and Watson right. This series got it spot on and that is why it's my favourite.

[@KVrya]

hum, at this time and place, it wasn't exactly the best place where kids would play, and anyway, the message anybody could see if that he wants to quit his addiction to cocaine, definitively, and that's not a thing a lot of people would do.

[@verkaforever]

I think this is better than the book.

[@fredrickUSA]

this is what wikepedia said: In the Granada Television version starring Jeremy Brett, a sequence is added showing Holmes burying his cocaine syringe in the sand during a walk on the beach. Apparently Jeremy Brett had become concerned about his character's drug habit, sought and received permission from Conan Doyle's heirs to have Holmes give up the habit.wow

[@GlassCtiy]

one. why is it that whenever they go on some holiday holmes is wrapped up like a christmas gift in blankets and watson sits there normal? two. Yay holmes is kicking the habit. go holmes

[@TheKulu42]

@Cloudminty Thank you. Except perhaps for Watson, Holmes would have had little sympathy from his fellow Victorians. Psychology was in its infancy, and the brain's functions were little understood. Even today, sufferers of clinical depression are too often told to get hold of themselves and cheer up. That's like telling a diabetic that he /she can overcome the disease with will power.

[@DemMedHornene]

@mahound9 So very true and also i am really fond of all the episodes they have on youtube very jolly indeed

[@misskim2058]

Sherlock wouldn't drop a glass vial or bury a syringe on the beach, later to be exposed, and to injure someone. Bed example for the kiddies, too...director, producer...who did that?.....other than that, love to see these available:)

[@aceventura8890]

Miss Kim he was high

[@manojnanda001]

JEREMY BRETT WAS THE BEST SHERLOCK HOLMES..EVER... RIP JEREMY

[@cha5]

This 'modern version' of Holmes has a Sherlock Holmes who dresses up in clothing that looks like it was stolen from London's East End and doesn't bath or shave and can't use a comb, plus he has a habit of stealing Watson's clothing and has a villain who looks more like Sherlock Holmes as far as his profile goes than RDJ does. This may be Guy Ritchie and Warner Brothers version of Sherlock Holmes but it's nothing close to Arthur Conan Doyle's character which is why it gets trashed so much.

[@cha5]

If come December the general feedback is that this SH film is better than all of the trailers I've seen so far, I'll certainly give it a chance, if the basic consensus is that Downey's portrayal of Holmes is right up there with Matt Frewer's and Dudley Moore's except with a bigger CGI budget, I probably won't, fair enough?

[@cha5]

I really don't know why the supernatural plays such a theme in this crazy film, I'm half expecting this villain 'Lord Blackwood?' to be Alister Crowley in disguise or some such silliness.

[@KS2416]

that's cool!!!

[@TheKulu42]

@roofiegoofie I checked the original story. It seems Holmes was suffering for overwork and, Watson hints, cocaine use. Holmes habitually overworked himself.

[@hamdiabaloch4486]

Good stories.

[@thesanantoniokid]

"Deduce, Watson, deduce!"

[@francismausley7239]

To his credit here, Brett got permission to change his character Holmes and quit taking cocaine because his series Sherlock Holmes had many young viewers. "Beware of using any substance that induceth sluggishness and torpor in the human temple and inflicteth harm upon the body. We, verily, desire for you naught save what shall profit you,.." ~ Baha'i Faith

[@queenkarlarivera]

@DemMedHornene- I agree of all the actors that have played Sherlock Holmes Jeremy Brett has been by far the best and most believable RIP

[@michaeldevaney5728]

I think brett is excellent as Holmes but Peter crushing was also excellent also and John neville was also a topclass Holmes but I believe brett was the best ever

[@Cloudminty]

@TheKulu42 Hmmm... That makes a lot of sense. Great theory. ^^

[@nicholasobenschain5783]

Brett did it very well. He played a better drug induced ignorant role. But he's not the best. Rathbone did it longer on radio and tv. Be paved the way for Brett

[@SooBrettish]

@codrutasalomia Yes, and don't wait, there is only one month left!

[@TeppeiDog1]

burying a hypodermic needle in the sand?! um?! dangerous!

[@queenkarlarivera]

me too!

[@Lyrictheac]

@Calvero52 I'm a slow reader, but I think I managed to pull off five or six stories in a day (a day being about eight to twelve hours, but not spent entirely in reading). The novels took a little longer though. They are excellent stories, and I must agree that they should be purchased if at all possible. :)

[@amareen79]

Thank you Anish79! This is a great find! :)

[@Hexiva]

Man, I hope I never go to a beach after Holmes has been there XD Is he high when he's talking to the neighbour in that first scene, or is that just his normal weirdness?

[@uncled39]

Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes, end of discussion.

[@TheLoneRebelFighter]

you need to upload the episode of the illustrious client!

[@steamedhamlet]

6:51 watson meant to say cornish hospitality my ass!

[@bundle_of_penguins]

I know how you feel,BUT!That is the whole point, they made a modern version of the movie!It's intentional for them and the movie to look that way,I mean, it's directed by Guy Ritchie! They are not even making a version of any of the original stories, they made up their own, just took these characters... If you want the REAL Holmes, watch Jeremy Brett - he is truly THE Sherlock Holmes, and the best ever.But please, do not trash this new SH movie, just wait 'till it gets out...I've explained all.

[@cha5]

Well the gay Holmes / Watson bit is fun in that video 'The many moods of Sherlock Holmes' and some funny slash pastiche stories I've read but I'd rather Ritchie tried to stick to at least a few of the basics of the Canon. LOL that Vader/Jabba The Hut as lovers is perfect, Holmes admiring Irene makes sense, her kneeing him in the groin and handcuffing him naked to a bed? c'mon now.

[@Seyth7]

@nineteenthcenturyeng you have people like Jack Stapleton... and Holmes spends his retirement beekeeping. I wouldn't say they were the best examples of sanity, but they definitely deviously minded people...

[@DonnellLynch-qm6xl]

He acts like he is high foreal.

Thought we were gonna be pals.

[@SingenStattAtmen]

@turtlewings That's exactly what I thought when I saw him first.

[@bundle_of_penguins]

I know they 'should' be more original,and it is disappointing that they didn't make much the spirit,as you say,of Sherlock himself,but I just wouldn't trash this movie so much if I haven't even seen it...As I already said,they are making the DIFFERENT version of it, it's almost similar as you'd say bad things about 'The Young Sherlock Holmes'...I'm just making an example, don't take me wrong,AND,what else I'm saying is that I would wait to SEE the movie,before making any other comments about it.

[@Tenkton]

If there's anything you want to say to me: just say it, ok?

[@culturehorse]

not too bad for 'tv' .. a Bergman-esque performance

[@TDK1987]

@dragonking134 it's a movie called The Seven-Per-Cent Solution

[@GlassCtiy]

@turtlewings i agree with you perfectly. :)

[@vikashchhapadia2880]

Please upload it's hindi version. I have seen this episode in hindi..in fox history channel....

[@charmeleon16]

3:25 lol, Holmes got busted. =D

[@Tenkton]

@mistoroboto It would take some time of course, especially when you're also as busy as I am these days, but if you're in the mood we can check this together. You pick a criterion and then try to prove it with examples from the stories, I'll try to disprove it the same way.

[@Akterleichbent]

What's the name of the song in the start.

[@josephmassaro]

So, that's how all those dirty needles ended up on the beach: 8:35

[@johnwestcott5612]

Holmes buried a needle on the beach. That's just wrong.

[@mahound9]

@DemMedHornene Is, Was, and always shall be.

[@DrOats22]

Can someone please explain WHAT exactly Holmes walked in wearing??? Lol.
