Sherlock Holmes Behind The Scenes Feature 'This Morning'

[@joyjeetpaul2218]

One of the most finest British actors and the best Sherlock Holmes ever

[@adrianaheiler9794]

So fascinating to see how different his voice and mannerisms are here as himself compared to how he speaks as Holmes. Even though he is in his Sherlock clothes it's a completely different person. He is much more relaxed and playful, his voice softer and expression less stern compared to how he plays Holmes. Remarkable talent (and a beautiful man at that)!

[@mfjdv2020]

He was indeed extremely beautiful as a young man. Such a tragedy that damned disease he had which ended his life.

[@totofan4ever]

Ahhh his voice is like BUTTER! ^^

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

Melted butter :3

[@finehomemadewine]

Brandy butter.

[@MynaahHvorostovsky]

Chocolate voice... 😍😍😍😍

[@mfjdv2020]

Like molten gold :-)))

[@KatieCatWalker]

I come back to this every once in a while and it still so fresh and refine as it was back when it was recorded. Still seems like he is here with us but alas no more. Just his work, his words and his music.

[@JoelEverettComposer]

The best Sherlock Holmes ever. Music by the late Patrick Gowers was phenomenal too!

[@RichardUsher]

I dearly wish they would release a wider selection of the music scores on CD at some point, stunning compositions throughout. I remember asking Edward Hardwicke to sign the cover of my soundtrack LP and he pointed out three or four errors in the image, including a sound operator crouched in a doorway with a boom mic!

[@JoelEverettComposer]

@@RichardUsher There is an orchestral suite that was done, with three pieces (James McCarthy, Frances Carfax, and Maria Gibson), that have not been released, LIbre Me and The Bar of Gold not included due to the choral and synth nature of those tracks, but the rest of the OST is there. What amazes me is the complex nature of the orchestral works - truly filmic / classical instead of the typical writing for television. I would love to know how much time Mr. Gowers had to write the music for each episode. If British composers had more time than American counterparts because this is not your typical result under severe time constraints.

[@mycroft983]

Holmes & Moriarty that scene the conversation between them must go down as one of the greatest in fictional writing could not be bettered. I would love to listen to Conan Doyle and hear how he thought and structured that moment, absolutely genius. "You smile Sir!" Class!

[@RichardUsher]

It is a most wonderful scene, and beautifully acted. I just had the great privilege of recording a version of 'The Final Problem' as an audio book for younger readers and that scene was tricky to perform without thinking of those two giants of the acting world.

[@vejayanandch3454]

Even today still unbelievable for me that he is no more.

[@deniseandrews113]

Even today...still unbearable

[@johnshields6852]

I really like this Watson, he fits in well with Brett, they are one of my favorite duos of Holmes and Watson. Thank you.

[@mfjdv2020]

Edward Hardwicke is a nice man, but I vastly preferred his predecessor David Burke in the role. He had that Irish sparkle.

[@similarrr]

​@@mfjdv2020yeah me too

[@danielcooper6853]

The filming location of the river and bridge scene was at Danebridge in Cheshire. I was thrilled to come across your upload amongst other Sherlock recommendations because I might be one of the school children at 0:32. (far left, not looking down!) I remembered that morning as a pupil at the nearby Wincle school, where we had heard about the filming crew and our teachers took us to go and have a look at what they were doing. I remember standing on the road above and looking down and trying to spot the actors but I don't think we saw them during our short visit. I guess the actual filming would not have taken place with us there as a distraction. I recognise some of my classmates in the brief video frame. Thank you Richard for the memory your upload has given me!

[@RichardUsher]

Hello Daniel, that is wonderful to hear! Such a lovely tale about the location filming, really puts everything into unique context. That must have been a marvelous experience, and such a great memory to have. I'm delighted that the video has given you such a thrill. Best Wishes, Richard

[@danielcooper6853]

@@RichardUsher Thank you Richard. I am slightly curious as to how you have come by such a video, because of it being just a feature of the programme 'This morning' from that time in 1989. I am going to hazard a guess that the most reasonable answer is that you recorded it at the time onto vhs. Which is great because obviously no-one else has uploaded the same programme. (I've looked) Such an opportunity!

[@shalininair6957]

This is the best thing I read today. You're so lucky :) Wish I could have been in your class! Thanks for sharing this. Puts a nice touch to the magic that is the Granada series

[@RichardUsher]

@@danielcooper6853 Hello Daniel, apologies for the delay in responding. The feature was followed by an interview with Michael Bentine, and as a huge fan of both things I set a VHS tape to record the show. Because I’m a Goon Show collector I hoarded quite a lot of recorded shows like this one and it only seemed right to share such gems.

[@similarrr]

awww

[@mishakularathna6695]

Mr. Jeremy Brett is the perfect person who mach to sherlock holmes😊❤ .he's act very clearly and wonderful.god job Mr. Jeremy .i like u soo much❤.

[@blessedangel7484]

Jeremy Brett was born to become Sherlock Holmes and I cant think of anyone else to take his place. Feels weird to hear them talk in interviews when both him and Mr Warwicke was long gone but of course not forgotten.

[@ritashreemukherjee2828]

OMG!! The real Sherlock Holmes.. The handsomest hero of times... Love him so much..😍😍😘😍

[@P.Whitestrake]

He's the best Sherlock Holmes for me. Sir Doyle must've been proud.

[@StellaBrettiana]

wow it is a gem !!!! priceless.... thank you thank you !

[@matthewh.9544]

Eric Porter was a brilliant Moriarty..

[@RichardUsher]

He was deliciously sinister, and his cold and calculating portrayal was just perfect. I'm not sure that anyone else has ever got close to such a genius bit of acting.

[@ritashreemukherjee2828]

Exactly!!

[@saleemkirmani5583]

Absolutely the best.

[@suetaylor4018]

I just LOVE this! "Just Bee" is SO HILARIOUS!! Please show MORE!!

[@ginoskokkinos9923]

Great actor and he was the best Sherlock Holmes rip Jeremy Brett

[@ComradeMel1975]

He was amazing. I was 20 when he died. I miss him

[@celesasheldon6931]

💯💔

[@judithburgess952]

A beautiful man with a beautiful voice. The best Sherlock Holmes. Thank you for this .

[@kimberlykat6341]

Best all time sherlock Jeremy Brett 💕 gone too soon

[@ernestintownandjackintheco1024]

JB the best Holmes ever.

[@johnheart6890]

Great show and perfect cast!

[@anamarquez2787]

What wonderful hands! 😍

[@shafur3]

My favorite Sherlock shows. I love the actors.

[@kandlaker]

Such BRILLIANT actors both of them!! Genius at work :-)

[@oscary1]

Oh my god! Thank you very much!!!! It is a gem!

[@HoorayItsChris]

When I read the stories, I picture Jeremy Brett in my head as Holmes. No other actor will ever be as good as Holmes as him. He was to Holmes what Connery was to Bond. The actor everyone else is judged against.

[@cgarby]

This is a treasure. Thx

[@davidgriffiths4624]

I love this! 😍

[@ewelinajolanta5684]

Thank you very much !!! :)

[@RichardUsher]

A great pleasure 😀

[@ewelinajolanta5684]

If there is something new to me (and a lot of people from the group - facebook.com/groups/1632630773673803/) very eager to watch . Thank youuuuu :)

[@SiansBookcases]

Brilliant

[@astridhofferson7318]

True he is the one of those few foreigner actors that I prefer to listening to with their own voice.And not the dubbed version even if in Hungary his voice here is a very great actor that I like

[@sweetvioletstar]

Thank you so much!!

[@davidwayne9982]

I've seen them ALL and as far as I"M concerned-- Jeremy Brett IS THE Sherlock Holmes , and the rest are just not so hot impersonators... In this- Jeremy says " I tried to BECOME him..." and believe me Jeremy - YOU were VERY SUCCESSFUL... and are THE- one and ONLY ULTIMATE Sherlock Holmes..

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

Sadly it led to increased mental health problems for him and ultimately contributed to his early death. But still, an amazing performance. Never has an actor so fully embodied the character they are playing.

[@rakeshkicrictech2883]

He is the Sherlock Holmes and dr.watson for me

[@speedytrelawny9123]

Jeremy is the voice of god

[@cht5086]

Jeremy Brett is the only Sherlock Holmes, End of the story.

[@charlieryan1900]

nice one. Love this thank you watched this in northern Ireland with 2 good friends ( British Amy) cheers

[@similarrr]

conan doyle needs to see himmm

[@MynaahHvorostovsky]

Eu poderia ouvir esse homem sussurrando no meu ouvido a noite toda... 😍😍😍😍

[@duncanbleak3819]

Every character seems perfectly cast. Eric Porter's countenance "screams" Moriarity!

[@mfjdv2020]

Eric Porter, another of Britain's best actors.

[@Infy808]

Other actors played Sherlock Holmes, Jeremy Brett became him ✨🔍🎻🎩🚬🕯️✨

[@calteacher2809]

I LOVE YOU ❤️

[@alanharoldson9903]

As the show's Watson says, Holmes was a debunker of supernatural ideas, ironic because Arthur Conan Doyle was a firm believer in spirit mediums and even regarded a ridiculous fake photo as proof that fairies exist. He was a master of imagination, not a master of logic.

[@mfjdv2020]

Doyle was a Gael and believed in all the things like fairies and ghosts that Gaels believe in.

[@yopekok5448]

I find the 2 Watsons look alike even in their mannerisms. That could be why David Burke’s wife think Edward Hardwicke is such a good replacement.

[@celesasheldon6931]

Eye meets eye

[@colinluckens9591]

00:17

[@ryanadams0922]

no offense to Edward Hardwicke but David Burke was the better Watson. Something about the way he smiled when Holmes pulled of his intellect stunts and I just feel like the 2 had good chemistry

[@michaelcase8574]

And some women want to be him.
