The Norwood Builder - Part 5 of 6 (Sherlock Holmes)

[@theboombody]

I just read this story not too long ago. I love how Holmes always looks like a total madman until some result is achieved. And I also love how Holmes never takes a case unless they're something unusual about it.

[@LadyTarasque]

I love the part where the secret door opens and Lestrade and Watson lean into view with a o.O look and i love how the cops were just like.. fire. the first time :P

[@DWor-]

There are so many points in this inference that I want to scream, "Shut UP, Lestrade! A master is at work!!!" Anyway, thank you for uploading this. My DVD is skipping at this point in the episode and I am loving this immensely!

[@ultraviolet128]

"I have heard something of the kind" - lol knowing holmes he has probably written "a small monograph" on the subject!!

[@fflambeauutube]

I love the look on Lestrade ( who is a fine actor here and exactly as described by Doyle) once the builder appears.

[@flyinspirals]

+Ronnie Moore That claustrophobic little scene with the thumb mark and the card and the lamp and the magnifier was particularly effective, and well-executed by Lestrade. He even made me laugh a bit : )

[@williamhiers1280]

He was so mad he looked like he was gonna shoot lasers out of his eyes.

[@SinbadHiccup]

Holmes's false laugh at 1:27 is the best thing ever. so sassy

[@nnthayer]

The most humorless laugh I’ve ever heard. Kills me every time I watch this episode

[@girlfromthedwarf]

Lestrade's face @ 5.46!! Brilliant lol

[@theboombody]

Ha ha. You're right, even when he says, "Put a match to that straw." Ha ha.

[@Mimi2591]

7:00 The infamous smirk of Sherlock Holmes! He is sooooo dreamy!

[@Southenisland]

"Oh we can do better then that." I'm going to use that phrase to my students XD~

[@cryptix23]

N'awww, poor Lestrade. So sure he has this one in the bag, and then Holmes produces the 'murdered man' out of the wall in a puff of smoke. xD And he looks so precious with his brown top-hat and smug little grin.

[@TheKulu42]

Doyle freely admitted that he didn't worry too much about details when creating a good story. I think this tale's adaptors realized that Holmes, with his background in forensics of that day, wouldn't be fooled by animals bones. And by the amount of smoke we saw, shouting 'Fire!' was hardly necessary. Holmes literally smoked out the evil rascal!

[@verkaforever]

Sherlock Holmes + Jeremy Brett = EPIC!

[@VexWerewolf]

It took a damn long time for that constable to get that straw fire put out.

[@mattmallecoccio8378]

Jeremy Brett would have made a fantastic Doctor Who. Note I said, Fantastic

[@MyPetsPlanet]

Jeremy Brett was so impossibly good looking.

[@ShawDAMAN]

I like Brett's little fake defeated laugh at 1:28 ;-D I just they'd showed the revelation in his mind at seeing the thumbprint a bit more clearly. :D In the book Watson noticed something in the way he said "yes it is final." Holmes did want to string Lestrade along a bit to get back at him for being so cocky :P One of the best conclusions to any of the Holmes stories.

[@DepalmaJay]

Lestrade - Brilliant

[@jimmbo13]

Yes but we enjoy him because he does act the fool so well

[@MrsWilliamTheBloody]

Oh, Jeremy Brett! You were so cool..

[@sealslayer]

"We can do better than that..! full voice...."

[@SnowhitePP333]

I hoped for another magnificient "nevertheless" of Holmes, after Lestrade said "there is nothing up there, though". None this time, pity.. :-))

[@Mosflow]

but you can make an artifical fingerprint. I've seen them do it in CSI

[@fflambeauutube]

Although this story has major problems (no policeman would charge someone of murder without a dead body), Doyle was pretty much ahead of his time with his use of fingerprints here. The acting throughout is super. I think Lestrade is magnificent and Watson is definitive. Brett is a bit too harsh and eccentric at time. The period sets are also magnificent.

[@barrymccann7892]

But he did have a body. The remains of the tramp fitted up to be identified as Jonas.

[@williamhiers1280]

I think he means in the original story.

[@obiwanobiwan13]

"FIRE! We can do better than THAT... full voice, altogether...' FFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stalwartanas809]

4:34 I have excellent reason for every thing I do

[@hezkyden]

@2m 03s Did they have radiators for central heating in 19th century England?

[@augusthawks6576]

Parts 4 & 6 are missing!

[@mfjdv2020]

golly, those Victorians did have gloomy interiors - that wallpaper!

[@LadyTarasque]

@19996669991 really? i thought in the story it was undetermined while Holmes asked if maybe it was rabbits or something but the guy wouldn't tell him

[@MrJonnyPepper]

Maybe I’m being to nerdy, but that doesn’t look like shark tooth.

[@gypsycyn]

Totally agree!

[@kumartc]

superhit
