Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE SPLIT TICKET (S1E13)

Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual.
THE CASE OF THE SPLIT TICKET: Brian O'Casey is desperate. He holds 1/3 of a winning lottery ticket and if he can't find one of the other holders before the end of the day, he'll never be able to get back to Ireland.

I am enjoying these two playing Holmes and Watson. They have a sense of humour

[@feralbluee]

i love the ensemble cast - the same actors keep turning up. . . :}

[@TheDylandProductions]

I remember joking with my brother that if this series had ever done Moriarty, they probably would have cast Eugene Deckers. (Because he was on SO many episodes, and almost always played the villain) And then our late-night laughs turned to eerie silence as we both considered, what if he WAS playing Moriarty all along?! I mean, we never see him get killed. And, every appearance has him in some other get-up or with different facial hair. Perhaps they're just disguises to fool the police & maybe even Dr. Watson. But maybe Holmes knows... Perhaps there's a deeper game of cat and mouse being played here between the brilliant detective and his arch rival, who keeps setting-up small brain food whilst covering up his real, gigantic, sinister plot! Or maybe it's just an over reaching fan theory. But still, he was in The Redheaded League... And Moriarty was connected to that in the books! Who knows. :P

[@feralbluee]

Dyland Pictures yup- of course, perfect casting. :}. keep safe. 🌷✨🌿🌸🌱🌼🌷

[@MichaelHarrisIreland]

As an Irishman, this is a beautiful portrayal in so many levels. The English loved the Irish, I wish we only knew it, well on some level they loved us. (and why wouldn't they, lol). As for the story, it was just a magicians trick dramatised. As for seeing his native shore, what poor peasant doesn't want to return to his place of birth after witnessing the real world.

[@YaamiNagvanshi_JayGopal]

No they didn't..The English or British attacked and tyrannized Ireland as well as Scotland with their manipulative tactics...and destroyed its culture too...I've seen and heard and read so many real stories and so many wonderful tales about Ireland and how it used to be in the golden old times...I also know about the wars and attacks and how some brave Irishmen fought for their freedom and for their country from the power-hungry, cruel British gov.. Not a surprise, this episode was perfectly shown....how the poor Irish are tricked by their schemes...Selfishness, ego, hollow kind of cold heartedness and treachery is the English or British personality, generally speaking...while the Irish and Scottish country people are known as more warm, kinder in comparison, naivety, good heart, .. Not all, mind, other elements like individual characteristics would be considered, but the people of the country as a whole, this is true... At least, the country of British I know as they've looted and stolen from my own country as well and where it was pure, great, wonderful, divine prospering and laden with good culture, joy, harmony, happiness, clean, pure, and with sacred riches with so much history all stolen, our kings dethroned and beloved royal families tyrannized...and now all such physical wealth stolen, wealth with meaning and symbolism, leaving all people poor and destitute & such conditions build inferiority, where there once was self respect and turn against eachother... anyhow, it is a tragic reality. I've seen something of the historical places where British used to capture and torture innocent, poor people of my country in the name of tax...and they came as guests, then tried to divide the people against eachother and take over....as 'take over the world' was their general motto. Sherlock Holmes is the only good part and its an individual's portrayal of a good, kind, warm, innocent and genius smart, detective character.

[@UglyChileanDoorman]

Belle calls Brian's button a "four-leaved clover", Holmes says it's a shamrock. You can see it at about 21:18--it's a four-leaved clover. Score one for Belle.

[@haroldwilkes6608]

I's both...A fourth leaf is where we get the luck from. The four-leafed clover, or “lucky clover”, is an uncommon variation of the three-leafed clover, and widely considered to be a symbol of good luck. ... The traditional Irish symbol of a shamrock does not include the fourth leaf but it's still clover.

[@UglyChileanDoorman]

I'm not understanding your post; it sounds as if you agree that the shamrock has only three leaves, which would make Brian's button not a shamrock (which, as I'm sure you know, represents the holy trinity). Perhaps one day, though, Mary will be added to the Trinity and Belle, Holmes, Irish Spring and Lucky Charms will all be in harmony.

Right, because Holmes gave her the dummy ticket, and pocketed the real one.

21.55 watch her open her purse. 22.01 Holmes switches O'Brian's ticket for a dummy. Holmes hands Belle the fake. She then subs another dummy ticket, tears it and throws it into the fire. Then she slips the ticket Holmes gave her into her purse at 22.15.
