That trippy moment when he meditated. Best little details of the show. Brett is sublime, always.

[@amel6206]

tsk. tsk. Holmes didn't need meditation! He was tapping his supposedly extraordinary mental capacity.

[@GlassCtiy]

awwwww moments. one that little girl was adorable with her little doll in her arm toddling about. two the way he tickles watson's foot. the perfect way to wake a friend just to be annoying.

[@SinbadHiccup]

Poor Watson! He only slept for two hours...

[@kajsab23]

I think its cute how Holmes tickles Watsons foot to wake him up :)

[@GodsWildfire]

"But what did you learn?" "Nothing."

[@ShawDAMAN]

This scene is interesting, It's fairly unusual in the Holmes chronicles to seem him throwing ideas back and forth and piecing a theory together right along with a Scotland yard inspector. :-)

[@steemdup]

I love Watson's night shirt - beautiful cotton lawn, luxurious and comfy.

[@kanervatie]

London police...he is the best they have to offer..Sherlock likes him..

[@prolifeprincess]

6:00 = AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[@danscott4209]

What is the real name of Watson

[@Trampadoo]

@HorrorFrogPrincess: Hmmm, not really. As much as Holmes struggles to deal with women's irrationality he also values female intuition. Not to forget, as rational as Holmes may be, Doyle also fitted him out with a good deal of female intuition himself.

Why is it that it seems like back in Victorian times that the English had more freedom than they do now? On the other side of the Pond we here in the states have the same problem more freedom back then than now. It seems that the more technology we have the less freedom the less technology the more freedom we have.

[@Roncace]

what happened to the audio?

[@IsuAsenjo]

The guy had 20 minutes from visit to visit and he couldn't hide the clothes and bricks better?

[@badger305]

at 8:08 Holmes calls Watson ....Nelson.

[@AnanyaChattopadhyay09]

Jeremy looks so bful here.

[@rastabus]

This expression of belief in a woman's almost supernatural intuitive powers is not accidental and is in fact representative, of the view of Holmes and many Victorians beyond the specific context

[@themaestroslady1812]

The audio and video are not in sync.

[@obiwanobiwan13]

On the contrary, I think if Holmes ever devolved to the state of child-rearing (surely he's not the paternal type... he'd neither want children nor could surely raise them) his children'd of course try and be mishcevious... look at the children of military men and cops today. Quite a few of them are remarkable brats. Thank goodness our beloved detective will never have children... again, that's not his game, nor should it be (and think of all the more work for poor Mrs. Hudson!)

[@alguien1234]

FOR TheLittleRussian2: I believe that if Sherlock Holmes had really been alive, he had said that to give hope to Mrs. St. Clair ... Oh, I do not know! , BUT he would said it, because he said it in the canon! XDD I find it even stranger the scene of the rose in "The Naval Treaty" because if Holmes is so rational, why believe in God? There are other scenes where it is shown that is not always as rational, not only in that scene.

[@TheLittleRussian2]

It was probably the view of Conan Doyle himself, I assume. I think that if Sherlock Holmes had really been alive, he would not have believed in women's intuition, since this belief is irrational - as much as he didn't believe in anything else irrational.

[@redtopaz]

@celloLWF Sometimes I think Doyle wrote male characters who believe in the 'popular theories' about women, but didn't prescribe to them himself. Holmes says some remarkably misogynistic things, and then gets his ass handed to him by Irene Adler. It seems that often when one of Doyle's male characters goes "oh, she's just a woman" and ignores female advice/warnings they wind up missing digits or stabbed to death. It's almost weirdly subversive in places, given the opinions of the time.

[@alguien1234]

@beautifulpassion Yes, indeed ... Because that's the point of view of Doyle ... From my point of view, use the flowers as an argument to justify the existence of God is not rational (perhaps because I do not like flowers so much ... XDDDD). Sorry for my bad English.

[@TheLittleRussian2]

I reckon Conan Doyle imprinted something of himself in this literary character, and at least part of it went unnoticed by him. So if Doyle believed in God and spiritualism, those beliefs found occasionally their way into his characters, even such that was as different from him as Holmes.

[@JuliBom]

2:16 "Let me try" *finger on lips* Somehow that move always makes me giggle XD And it's cute how Holmes just timidly smiles at that little girl ^_^ Poor thing, she really seems to like him....who wouldn't?

[@alguien1234]

It's true. But Holmes said it in canon. In fact, Watson didn't say it (in the series, Watson interacts more than he actually does it in the canon, reaching into his mouth Holmes' words).

[@Oakleaf700]

My own father we used to call ''Sherlock'' as he had an incredible skill in tellin g what we were doing...just by skilful observation and ''reasoning''..we never got away with Anything! Dad always always 'knew'..my bro bought a motorbike ''in secret'' but dad found out. How, we never knew.

[@prolifik5]

Yes he did actually, but the context is different. He says it to Mrs St Clair when she insists that her husband is alive.

[@schumachergirl1956]

I love Sherlock Holmes stories especially if Jeremy Brett,Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee plays his part as these 3 play Sherlock excellently as the others are not passionate enough.

[@suryalinaten10]

I think it's lovely bit of writing that they made Holmes continue sitting there with his pipe while Watson went to sleep in the same room.

[@HorrorFrogPrincess]

4:58 Seems an odd thing for Holmes to have said, given his general dislike of women.

[@ndwstark9918]

sherlock holmes looks nice when he smile s with nevils daughter. cute sence

[@AlSidre]

@RuleNr34 Yeah ...no! God, no!

[@RuleNr34]

@Shangas You can imagine the Christmas dinners.

[@rastabus]

mmmm

[@BEVERYCUMMINS]

I like his pipe better in this version. This is what the book describes.

[@neontetra1000]

A beggar would never use money to weigh down A dead body, poor writing.

[@happycamper4315]

neontetra1000 What body?

[@neontetra1000]

Happy Camper My mistake . He weighted a jacket not a body. He was a fake beggar anyway so not so unreasonable,

[@petewalker6663]

bad sound on this thumbs down just for that AND DONT SAY ITS A COPY RIGHT ISSUE BULLSHIT, that will not stop it being removed if youtube feel the need !! STOP WITH THE BAD TALK + MOVIE SHIT !
