Let's eat some breakfast

This is my favorite moment in the entire season.
Does anyone know the name of the music that starts at 1:40? I couldn't find it on the soundtrack.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984) "The Norwood Builder".

[@Kiki_marine]

Watson's simple "let's have breakfast" shows the warm affection and great understanding he has towards Holmes, under difficult circumstances. He'll stand by Holmes however the world might oppose him. Brilliant acting!! Truly legendary.

[@catherinespark]

@gamgee87 I think there are more minor chords in that one, and it's slower too, but it might be a different part of the same tune...it's one that occurs during affection and also during moments of realisation. I don't have the soundtrack but are there any titles on it hat convey those ideas?

[@julietcunningham852]

Variants are common in classical music. Having a title theme that is upbeat, and then varying it by playing it slowly in minor mode is quite common, even more so for theatrical (or movie) music.

[@YT4Me57]

@gamgee87 Yes, it is the same theme, just rewritten to convey those emotions. I saw a documentary on the series where it was mentioned that instead of a professional, the theme's soundtrack was recorded by the teenaged daughter of one of the directors. The intent was to have a gifted amateur reflect how Holmes would have played the instrument himself (if he were real).

[@wandanemer2630]

A great truth.

[@YT4Me57]

I don't see it like that. They are good friends who share a bond based on their basic personalities. Holmes would never survive without Watson, his genius cuts him off from social interactions and he requires a Watson, who sees past the cold, strange behaviors as a calling card so to speak and sometimes a 'defensive tackle'.

Lestrade shouldn't have done that to Holmes. I'm not sure how much time has passed since Holmes got the telegram, but he looks like he's been up all night in a bad mood about it.

[@GH-bv4pg]

True, he shouldn't. Although I kinda understand that Holmes can sometimes be sarcastic in the way he deals with police and Lestrade wanted to get back at him. Sherlock helped them a lot and let them have the whole credit sometimes. Lestrade shouldn't have been so petty about it. They became friendlier with each other in later stories.

[@missc2742]

He has an aspie stare going on at the beginning... On another note, I don't think any other man could rock a dress like that.

[@missc2742]

I didn't say he was, only that he had that look in his eyes. I know many autistics that get that same look in their eyes from overstimulation-probably a result of the actor's manic depression here. But now that you mention it, Sherlock Holmes might have been on the spectrum, though. Being a fictional character definitely makes diagnosis quaky, but he follows all of the traditional criteria: (I) Qualitative impairment in social interaction, as manifested by: A. failure to develop peer relationships, (he guy is only able to maintain one stable relationship throughout his career and mentions to Watson that he had never been able to keep friends, except for an acquaintance in College) B.lack of social or emotional reciprocity (Holmes is frequently described in the books as "machine-like" and unemotional to a fault- Watson is sometimes frustrated by Holmes' inability to share the emotions of others as a result of this. (II) Restricted repetitive & stereotyped patterns of behaviour, interests and activities, as manifested by: A. encompassing preoccupation with restricted patterns of interest that is abnormal either in intensity or focus (Many people who work with autistics call these "autistic obsessions" or "special interests"- where an aspie can be so obsessed with a particular topic of intellectual interest that they have the ability to completely seal off the rest of the world to investigate it. Holmes definitely has this trait in him, autistic or not. Watson mentioned him staying up all night on several occasions doing nothing but thinking about a particular fact that interested him. It wasn't an interest of normal intensity and it happened all the time as opposed to being a special phenomenon. B. stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms (Holmes has many habits relating to motion, being mentioned to pace for hours on end, clasping and wringing his hands quite frequently, especially when explaining a topic of interest) C. persistent occupation with details (This has Holmes all over it- he realises the importance of detail and uses it to achieve the big picture rather than vice versa) By the DSM IV diagnostic, the character follows more than enough of the symptoms for a diagnosis- I definitely do not think that it would be "douche-like" to consider the character as having at least a strain of autism in him. If anything, it is a bit ignorant to reject the idea entirely, although the character was created during a time when asperger's had not yet been researched. There is no clear answer here- by the book the character follows all criteria, but the author's original intentions coupled with the fact that the character doesn't exist make a diagnosis uncomfortable. About me being an "aspie douche" I thank you for the compliment entirely. I take great pride in my hygiene skills- I would recommend the job to anyone, even yourself. Who knows, if you too become a douche, you might actually see a vagina one day!

+Madame Catfish if you too become a douche, you might actually see a vagina one day!" Rekt.

[@J_D_Sisson]

He's a classic case. I love 'Sherlock' but they're all wrong about the high-functioning sociopath thing. He displays none of the traits. I always saw him as Aspie, and I wonder if Doyle got his mannerisms from Dr Joseph Bell (who he based Holmes upon). Of course Asperger's wasn't named at the time. You were just called "Eccentric."

[@J_D_Sisson]

Starscream91 I appreciate that, being a socially awkward teenager who spends much of his time on the internet, you might not be overly familiar with those persons who are neuro atypical, but "Aspie" is not considered a derogatory term. And as you can see, I have already disregarded you suggestion to shut up. Your hostility does suggest that you get a sense of empowerment from attempting to belittle strangers on the internet, presumably by trying to make them feel more worthless than you feel yourself. Might I suggest a better strategy? That you attempt to achieve something of great worth, whilst leaving those who belittled you behind? Demonstrating that you can happily disregard those who belittled you and that had they befriended you, they would have profited both emotionally and materially, rather than see you rise above them and forget their existence whilst they themselves remain in the gutter is a much better use of your time.
