"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"
"The Return of Sherlock Holmes"
Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the best filmed version of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, showcasing Holmes's dazzling brilliance without ignoring his unnerving intensity or drug dependencies. First aired on Britain's Granada Television in 1984, the series offered perfect casting (David Burke, replaced later in the run by Edward Hardwicke, played Dr. Watson as Holmes's sturdy companion and chronicler rather than as a buffoon), marvelous period music by Patrick Gowers, and a running time of almost an hour per story, which allowed superior detail and faithfulness to the original source.The Misses and I cannot recommend this series enough. Below is the best example of why we so adore Jeremy Brett. Splendid, splendid stuff!

oh how my dh and I loved Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes! We used to watch when first married, and dh would come home late from college classes. He was the perfect Sherlock Holmes, we thought.
We've been watching a new show on BBC, called "Sherlock" -it's a more modern twist, Sherlock even has a blog ;) the chemistry between Sherlock and Dr. Watson is very, very good. So far they have only made 3 episodes, but we've heard that 3 more are on the way.
