[@virgorising7388]

Or I watch it along with.

Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes. May he rest in peace.

[@geoffboyles1547]

“I suppose you think I’ve added opium smoking to all my other little weaknesses?” Classic!!

[@hibiscusvera]

I just really like this episode! Boone was definitely my favorite. Thank you so much for this podcast!

[@sherlockpodcast]

Thank you for listening!

EP25 - The Man With The Twisted Lip - The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast. 9.3.24. I am surmising ITV show the whole collection of episodes starring Brett and co? I noted minder, kojak and sherlock air on itv4 now and again. seems I still have a few episodes to view.....as for Baskerville episode - Cushing and Lee's fault, trying to ale the tale more chilling than it actually is. PS beware entering hospitals wearing a black suit as everyone seem to feel you've arrived to administer last rites.... erm.......

[@Cissy2cute]

I love that sponge! Huge. Makes it really funny.

[@stillhuntre55]

Interesting about the theme music. I know the theme tune of Midsomer Murders was also recorded new for each episode, but I assumed it was because the theme usually "melds" into the story each time.

[@jasonpeters9390]

Another great podcast I just love learning about the back ground to the show and the actors who appears in it

[@sherlockpodcast]

Thanks for listening!

[@0504Revati]

I love this episode so much. There were so many renowned actors/actresses appearing in supporting roles during the series, but Clive Francis gives one of the finest guest performances. He's got a great presence and a wonderful voice. I listened to your excellent interview with him, and it was absolutely delightful to hear him remembering the shooting. I also visited his site where he shows his caricatures, and they are so amazing! What a unique talent he has. I am fond of dogs, so I was very happy that the production team decided to give dogs to the St. Clair family. Those two golden retrievers are so cute :)

[@geoffboyles1547]

Must be getting near that time for The Six Napoleons.Looking forward to it.

[@sherlockpodcast]

Us too!

[@matthewh.9544]

Edward Hardwick was such a fabulous actor. I'd love to see a podcast for Disappearance of Lady Fairfax. There are so many great British actors in that

[@ksgtokgo]

I've long agreed with you about the opening scene being a bit odd. My take is it was a teaser, sort of. Start the intrigue early. My other problem with the opening is the timing. Didn't Isa Whitney go missing on a Wednesday? And St. Clair / Boone disappears on Monday. If that is the case, Boone could not have been on the street to see Whitney go down the alley on Wednesday. I think they got their days mixed up in all the flashing back and forth. Love the podcasts. Looking forward to the next.

[@jeffschick1669]

Wow! Index! Thanks! Great, as always.

[@lindanosek2066]

Just checked out the Clive Francis caricatures. Not just Francis Poldark. Wow!

[@MsMariacelina]

About "Bending The Willow", I got a digital version of it for my Kindle for $8 about a year ago...

[@sherlockpodcast]

Hey Ria. Yes, that's a great point, it IS out there... but it will be nice for folks to have a copy for their shelf as well.

[@MsMariacelina]

@@sherlockpodcast Fair enough, guys. Sometimes one might want to see the contents first, before handing over a handful of cash - I had been looking for more info on Jeremy Brett and the series. Read loads of book reviews and decided to have a go at this $8 version to check it out... Maybe one day I'll get a real copy as generally, I'm an avid reader and book lover after all...

[@sherlockpodcast]

@@MsMariacelina Agreed. We will talk about the book when it's re-released, if you don't get one before then.

[@usedscar]

I have always tried to find out what actress plays that lady w the sign. She looks like Jacqueline Hill the teacher from the first Doctoor Who. I'm probably way off, but if she would have been the right age I could see a little part for her? She passed in '93.

[@usedscar]

There still isnt a runner up to JB's Homes. The thing is Granada had so much to do w the greatness. Nothing has been done which followed Doyle's work as closely. Maybe the world is ready to make one? Seems like there's room.

[@fionad9913]

Mrs. St. Clair claims to have such "sympathy" with her husband, that she can just feel whether or not he is still alive. But then she doesn't recognize him when she is in the same room with him. As you point out, she not only doesn't recognize his voice, but her ESP about him fails her as well!

[@sherlockpodcast]

Hey Fiona, agreed! Maybe her ESP was thrown off by the stench. :) But it makes for a fun story and a good episode!

[@musicologo1able]

@@sherlockpodcast St Clair disguise was so good the even his own mother woulnd't recognize him!!!

[@-xirx-]

I thought Sherlock smoked opium in the books? Or am I thinking of Sir A.C.D who smoked opium?
