The Musgrave Ritual - Part 1 of 5 (Sherlock Holmes)

Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not as good as the book, but still worth watching.

[@sirensbane17]

I love Watson's gleeful expression when he realizes he has a chance to peek into the chest containing Holmes' old notes, and then how he immediately sets that desire aside for the sake of worrying about Holmes' addiction.

[@vagalavani]

Jeremy Berret is the best cracterization of Sherlock ! Jeremy is to Sherlock as Suchet is to Poirot and Hickson is to Marple !!!

[@voiceofreason192]

vagalavani YES !

[@fflambeauutube]

+vagalavani Sorry, I don't agree. Suchet was definite as to Poirot and Brett is good but a trifle too melodramatic (see the laugh at 8:40 as an example), a bit older and less athletic than one feels Holmes should be. I think the definitive Holmes still awaits us. Rathbone was excellent but the productions he was in were all wrong.

[@fflambeauutube]

+Naalam Prabha Chaturvedi It's Brett not Berret!

[@vagalavani]

but don't you see Holmes was on a HIGH with drug that he injected earlier....

[@Gohot229]

+vagalavani ...that's an apt description...yes.

[@quirkydruid]

"I wish I had notes of these cases." Sherlock quickly placing his feet on the trunk. Always an enjoyable humor.

[@steemdup]

I wish my diction was as beautiful as Mr Brett's.

[@4444marla]

The best Sherlock. Just love him....really! and miss him!

[@daveanderson159]

Davy Crockett said the same time as well as a

[@melmack2003]

This Watson is my favorite too!

[@danabethbrawdy5643]

I so agree. Miss him a great bit myself

[@10toMidnight]

After seeing Mr. Brett, there is no other Sherlock!

[@marieelena]

I first saw these episodes back in the early 1980s,they were and still are the best adapations of the Sherlock Holmes stories...I simply adore Jeremy,one of my favorite British actors!

[@vikaskadam555]

Acting is more realistic than rdj and Benedict

[@katesatriani]

thank you so much for putting these on the net- but with all due respect I have to disagree with your assertion that they are "not as good as the book but still worth watching" ! - most of them WERE as good as the book and in my humble opinion brought the books to life - Brett & the two actors who played Watson were brilliant- whole series was so well done !

[@jacksprat9344]

+Kate Satriani Hear Hear!!

[@fflambeauutube]

+Kate Satriani I agree with Kate. And it was not a book, but a short story that may have eventually ended up in a book of such stories! I find this series BETTER than the stories.

[@katesatriani]

thank you so much for your nice comments- great to know that there are sane people on KZbin! Once again - thanks so much for you kind comments!

[@johnmayberry5465]

did you say 2 people played the part of watson..? or did you mean 2 actors as in jeremy&edward..? pls put me out of this misery, without clarification i am a tortured soul

[@tylerjerabek5204]

john mayberry oh please- Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes, 2 actors played Watson, David Burke and Edward Hardwicke Tortured soul? C’mon now

[@LettersAndNumbers300]

"How wise!" lol...

[@riva1101]

The next adventure of Sherlock Holmes: "The Three Dislikers"

[@nakulji108]

Jeremy Brett is the best .He is the only true Holmes.

[@ahmedbutt2988]

i don't know why some people disliked the video. it was a remarkable work by Sir Jeremy Brett and Sir Edward. with respect and love

[@joannklonowski5629]

+Ahmed Butt ....because they under under the age of 40, or they have never known the long hours, film tint, resources, an chemistry it takes to make true art. They also have not done the heart-interest it takes, to research info of Dr. Bell, Sir Doyle...etc....

[@joannklonowski5629]

Carmen Serena Have you seen the Russian version?" 221 Baker Street"..KZbin..fantastic! It has subtitles,but it is so well filmed, that you don't even need to know Russian to understand what is said. Quite a treat :)

[@joannklonowski5629]

Agree, American versions are terrible. I am in U.S.A...lol

[@joannklonowski5629]

Excellent point Ahmed. I tried to educate/direct some information to one who stayed argumentative on facts.

[@joannklonowski5629]

Elmokaila...This is an artistic forum..NOT politics.

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 24/7??? I can understand why you can't watch them. TWENTY FOUR hours of House's jibes!!! Not literally I hope, but then I wouldn't be surprised... Well, hopefully the googly-eyedness will either die down or they'll have the sense to make it comic instead of serious. That aspect anyway. I had heard dubious comments about it of late. House would be better footloose. He seems to be the least lovable person ever, although affectionate regard is maybe a different matter.

[@steemdup]

Love the rolling of the Rs! So British :)

[@HartAngel5]

+JadeMaven And now he's a master of the R's!!!

[@Drowninginantimatter]

I found where the aluminium crutch came from! This makes me worryingly happy.

[@ParkSeoHamStar]

Sir Jeremy Brett Amazzingggg!!! ✨👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@shirleyharting405]

The best Sherlock I have seen. The most stunning horses I have seen in a show.every show. So much talent I watch them over and over, I thought no one could out do Basil Rathbone. I love both Watson's . Never heard of Jeramy Brett until 2018.

[@WhenJacksAttack]

"Well, surely the HOUSE must interest you?" "D8 THE HOUSE IS FREEEZINNGG" "It's history!"

[@Lyrictheac]

Did they combine "The Musgrave Ritual" with "The Adventure of Reigate Squires"??

[@peggyadams5130]

Thanks for the Sherlock Holmes shows I love t hem.

[@grimlund]

I think this is the only episode in this serie were you actually can see that Holmes is really high on drugs...I love when he laugh his as off at 8:28...

[@74powers]

The butler is an extremly intelligent man and as a butler it would have been inappropiate to converse with the master of the house along with his guest even though he would have been a much more interesting and enlighting conversation. Holmes found that very funny

[@daviddalton9214]

Holmes as a character was melodramic.

[@sailorearth2007]

I wonder how JB did after doing all these episodes...health wise I mean. All that smoking could cause serious harm...Walt Disney died I believe in 1966 due to lung cancer caused by smoking. I am sure though that JB fared much better than that.

[@johnmayberry5465]

i watched all this series & never before noticed the actor playing the part of Watson had changed...!!

[@a55kiker]

Someone please tell me what "recherche" means. I can't find it in the dictionary! Holmes says it at 4:50- 4:51.

[@GodsWildfire]

I love how Holmes cracks up after such an uneventful moment xD

[@Tsnore]

In my top ten of the canon!

[@nativevirginian8344]

this is one of my favorites

[@cjdecker4169]

SO SAD - This video contains content from MPI Media, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds. You of course have the right to impose your copyrights, however, to do so in part rather than the entire content is cold. I have no intention of paying MPI Media. ALL of these episodes have been edited so that the final segment of each is blocked. Fortunately my verbal research has been enhanced by the first four segments of each episode. That is my gain at no profit to you.

[@flyinspirals]

What a pity. With a little effort, you could catch the ends on dailymotion -- actually, you can catch sharp, complete copies of all episodes, but the only current uploads require you to endure some commercials. Lately, they won't play with Adblock enabled. I prefer these fuzzy, choppy ones without commercials.

[@jodyhunter9044]

It's Jody Hunter from Jacksonville,North Carolina,USA AGAIN. THE MORE I WATCH, the more I see. The people who created this series..the carriages, trains, homes, all the sets and items used, seem to be period pieces...the actors I have already glorified several times already. Jeremy Brett and the two Watsons are and forever will be, tremendous!!!! I love them!!! If one is really into this art, as I myself claim to be, they will be forever in love with this series. How I wish Jeremy Brett was still with us. Thank you, everyone associated with this production...you have made my life alot brighter... I can't say it enough...compared to what is on TV today, this is pure gold. Untouchable,!!!!

[@2msvalkyrie529]

You are not alone ,Jody !

[@J_D_Sisson]

Oh shit! He's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO high!

[@fflambeauutube]

What a lovely house (and sets in general). Great acting although I find Brett a bit too melodramatic. Watson is excellent.

[@dustymagic64]

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have chose Jeremy Brett himself to play Sherlock Holmes without a shadow of doubt,Jeremy was born to play the super sleuth and ticked all the boxes...Jeremy Brett was the real macoy.....accept no imitations .

[@QuentaSilmarillion]

He died in 1995 from cardiac arrest. He had the rheumatic fever when he was younger, and the scar tissue was to much. He was active in advocating people get help for bi-polar disorder and manic-depression, which he suffered from. Sadly, he died before he could have made a bigger impact.

[@stanochocki8984]

Ah, the country Life. Little better than an openly willing Wench & a Roll in the Hay.

[@Jabberwockybird]

Apology accepted Captain Needa.

[@barnabasfrid]

Yeah... Holmes' drug abuse is sexy...

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

This is a great story acted masterfully

[@mirrorcleworld]

HOLMES. Get a hold of yourself, man.

[@willy911Hz]

رووعه كم أحب هذا المسلسل

[@JuliBom]

Apparently "boots" is a hilarious subject to Holmes XD He's probably bored outta his mind from lack of problems, I can understand his nuttyness :)

[@AlanAlan2001]

@a55kiker I'm surprised that you got the spelling right but can't find the meaning! Here is the what it means, from Wiktionary: recherche 1. Exquisite; lavishly elegant and refined. 2. Exotic or obscure.

[@antiphonebill]

No, dude, that was cocaine.

[@AlanAlan2001]

@a55kiker Your English is impeccable and if you keep adding more vocabulary to it you'll become a scholar one day. Good for you! I enjoy reading Sherlock Holmes stories, and once in a while I like to see the episodes that are based on them.

[@kathleencampbell2298]

Most of these are blocked 😪

[@BonnieAnneFox]

3:16 - 3:19 sounds like me at the moment

[@dougwood6387]

I grew up ob Basil Rathbone, thought he was best, then saw Brett, no comparison!

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 Sorry to hear that, both about Viacom, but also about you and your brother. I expect it's better that you don't talk rather than feud regularly upfront. Still, not good when a friend or family member does unforgivable stuff - one of my friends turned against me a while back and though we've made up it's not quite the same in my mind anymore. Still at least there were good times :)

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 Heya - I did think House was a bit too obnoxious - but I thought that was just the writer's interpretation of Holmes! It makes more sense now. I didn't know the episodes followed the same structure. That actually makes me want to watch them more - they're not on YT that I can see and aren't viewable in Britain. I'll have to get the DVDs. I think wikipedia maybe exaggerated the Holmes element, as it said House and Wilson's friendship mirrored Holmes and Watson.

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 I thought it was funny actually how Holmes was based on Joseph Bell when apparently Gregory House was based on Holmes. It comes full circle! Yeah my Gran's brother sent the stuff over, she smoked them and then reported the results back to him - that was their system. I think her brother was just curious. Older brothers who experiment on younger sisters run in the family.

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 It would be wonderful to do that so effortlessly. Or at least it sounds wonderful - probably it led to problems too, and people being a bit scared of you. You'd have thought that it would be harder to do in real life, at least it would be now. for example ripped jeans are fashionable so don't signify poverty. Or some people like khaki clothes for the fashion and therefore are not in the army. .

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 Not directly I agree, but it could have a lot to do with a nervous breakdown indirectly: He my have started taking the drug intially because he thought it helped him cope and prevent a breakdown - thus indicating the possibility that his mentality was inherently more prone than some to that kind of disturbance. I was replying to hadassah's comment that Holmes couldn't get sick when I mentioned the two stories.

[@a55kiker]

@AlanAlan2001 Oh, by the way, I looked at the subtitles and looked in my dictionary, but for some reason never googled it.

[@tomsckay7point0]

wtf is this actor doing?

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 Thank you! It was actually my Gran's older brother and her, and then my Mum's older brother and HER, and then my cousin and his younger sister. I have a younger sister who I used to experiment on. As a result she became rather wiley, feisty and competetive - but she puts it to excellent use in my opinion. It sounds like you and your brother had a pretty good relationship. Pity about MTV sucking though.

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 I think that's the good thing about SH. I suppose he is a performer of sorts and feels he needs the kick like you say. Didn't Doyle base his character on some real observations? Perhaps he was painting the first analysis of a 'tortured genius' with Holmes...? Incidentally my Gran when aged 12 used to get various herbs and grasses from her brother while she was staying at boarding school, and she remembers sitting on the roof of the school smoking them. That would be 1944.

[@falstaffswims]

Holy God, it's greatness! Jeremy Brett's just so endlessly astonishing. Surely one of the best--and a clever overhaul-in-adaptation by Jeremy Paul. And James Hazeldine's awesome here, too, turning an almost cliche smarter-than-his-betters butler into something peculiarly cunning, sympathetic, original... too bad Conan Doyle killed Brunton off--and too bad inept doctors apparently killed Hazelding--because I'd gladly follow a series featuring (Hazeldine's) blindingly brilliant Brunton by himself.

[@Chalumeau]

The soundtrack of Patrick Gowers' music lists the opening theme as "221B Baker Street." AFAIK, there is not an extended version, only what was aired in the intro sequence.

[@catherinespark]

@Sshelly34213 So glad we give you good things! Showing anything too often would be bad, especially on a main chanel - but we like loads of your shows too like scrubs and house and friends! It's good that house is obnoxious, one because it makes for an original show in many ways, but two, because obnoxious people are very underrepresented :) Or maybe that should be >:)

[@green8714]

この話の冒頭を見るたび、大貴族で大金持ちの筈のマスグレーブ君は大事なお客人を迎えようというのにどうして屋根の無い馬車を使わせたか分からない。 ハンサムキャプはロンドンにしかないとしてもブルームとか使えばいいだろうに。

[@GlassCtiy]

you know that trip to the country had to be watson's idea. and why would he drag holmes out there when he's sick. the man looks ready to fall over.

[@Mimi2591]

5:00 "I wish I had notes of these cases." (glare) *hump hump* ('You're not touching these files you bully-body Watson!') LOL, totally humorous Holmes.

[@the0guilty0ones]

@Lyrictheac It's possible. Granada played within the canon a bit, partly to keep up the quality of the series as a whole and partly to accommodate Jeremy Brett's failing health.

[@catherinespark]

@hadassah179 In The Reigate Squires and The Devil's Foot (book versions) he is where he is because in each instance he's been ill and almost had a nervous breakdown

[@VexWerewolf]

"She had a slight distemper, sir" ... by which Brunton of course means: "Bitch was trippin'!"

[@Mosflow]

Poor watson. he has to put up with i High Holmes. Although i must say he does seem quite happy... or giggly what ever

[@tsanlc]

I like the way the story unfold and dramatised - it is better than the book and suits my imagination. Saved for the opening scene - I feel is a bit over the top so to speak. SH & Watson in this series made men look so elegant and gentlemanly behaviour so vogue. Made me wish I could time travel and be there and have tour.

[@catherinespark]

@digikate813 Well, at least by the time Devil's Foot takes place his addiction has been brought into hibernation.

[@changingowl10]

When the butler asked Holmes if he wanted more brandy, did Holmes say,"No, Brandon"? Or did he say,"No, Brunton"?

[@Mosflow]

same here

[@SannaiSan]

Haha! Did Holmes' 7% solution accidentally take a slightly more potent turn? I don't think i've ever seen him laugh so much!

[@Calriec]

I'm not positive, but I don't think Watson was in the original story. This case, I believe, took place before he ever met Watson, like the Adventure of the Gloria Scott. They decided to add him to the television version, however.

[@lollipopfop]

@maicusDarlinejut In awful quality. Just go see the movie in a theater. Its worth it!

[@barnabasfrid]

The butler correcting his master on a simple piece of family history is hardly uneventful.

[@hadassah179]

@Imverycute2 being high is one thing but he's Holmes I thought he could never get sick.

[@digikate813]

@Songsmirth He doesn't kick the habit until "The Devil's Fooot"

[@barnabasfrid]

um... cocaine!

[@Emilyluvsspotty]

"the boot was worn by his brother..." Holmes: HA HA HA HA HA Watson *I so do not know you* omg ha ha shame

[@Southenisland]

Oh man, I thought I heard Holmes say "Aluminium crotch". Somebody help me get back on my chair.

[@fflambeauutube]

Actually, I think this series is even better than the book. Overall, good acting, marvelous sets, a real feel for the period and lots of attention to detail. I'm not sold on Brett (too melodramatic and plays up his own eccentricities) but both of the Watsons in the series were terrific, especially David Burke. And Watson is as crucial as Holmes in the stories and in this series.

[@cassandra5322]

uugh! 2:00 when was THAT supposed to happen?

[@a55kiker]

@AlanAlan2001 Thank You! I like to watch these episodes and look up all the cool words they use. Then, after practicing them, I try to integrate then into my own daily vocabulary. Just one more reason why these shows are so great!

[@AA-ut9wz]

Me too! I learned to speak English thanks to them and I try to use the "old Victorian English" as much as I can because of them and I love it. They have told me that I sound very elegant when speaking with my copied Victorian accent ^^) hehe

[@bundle_of_penguins]

OMG, I love it how everybody's trying not to laugh at Brett...XD

[@catherinespark]

Well, I'm glad for you that you had that time, and thanks for sharing the details that you did. :)

[@Wedsheport]

They are so hilarious together! Jeremy Brett is awesome... and Watson is so desperate^^

[@davidenespana]

"...and the singular affair of the Aluminium crutch" "Aluminium crutch?" "That was something a little recherché" Excellent stuff

[@GodsWildfire]

Holy crap, that was crude! Geez.

[@twint1p]

seriously the book isn't that good :( but i love the character whom he made.

[@Lyrictheac]

And that, dear children is why you should not do drugs.

[@ambeckerful]

High Holmes = me after smoking a bowl.

[@johannanomis9328]

maybe you would call it "burn out syndrom + drug addiction" nowadays ;D

why is Holmes so sick? he's been for several epasodes now.
