Spanning 36 episodes and 5 movies, producer Michael Cox created a Sherlockian experience like no other. This podcast will examine that timeless series with a specific eye on Jeremy Brett in the role he was destined to immortalize. This is new and unsurpassed. I prefer Burke's to Hardwicke's more thoughtful Watson. Both are top drawer character actors with fantastic credits, but for me, Burke has an impulsiveness and breezy candour that gives his Watson extra light and colour.
Hardwicke, in the later series, does a lot more to suggest the difficulty of living with a man like Holmes. An even more significant achievement is the recreation of the deft energy, economy and speed with which Conan Doyle transports his audiences into the heart of Victorian London.
Only Dickens did it with anything like the same authority and style. Lovers of the fantastic Sydney Paget illustrations will recognise his work everywhere in the props and scenery. Many of the more famous illustrations are lovingly recreated, but this is really about the chemistry of detail and pace.
Granada have the formula just right. So perfect in fact, that when they try to extend it to feature length, it fails, just as Conan Doyle failed in his own attempts to extend the format to novel-length stories.
The longer pieces are again, the weakest of the set. If this disk doesn't fill you with delight, go back to the text, read again and look again, or you risk undervaluing one of the greatest achievements of TV drama.
Sir Arthur, I'm sure, would have been both delighted and impressed. FAQ 1. Can this series, of Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett, be purchased. Details Edit. Release date March 14, United States.

In this episode, Holmes and Watson sojourn to the Abbey Grange to investigate a grisly murder, we are introduced to enigmatic director Peter Hammond, and we receive a very special letter from someone responsible for many of our favorite moments in the series.
Also, Gus and Luke discuss wax blood, an abundance of reflections, the beauty of red, and their shared love of this classically romantic episode of the show. Plus, listener telegrams! In this episode, Holmes and Watson examine the mysterious events surrounding the singular old observance known as The Musgrave Ritual, we get to know producer June Wyndham Davies, and we bid farewell to series creator, Michael Cox.
Also, Luke and Gus discuss the original script, Baddesley Clinton, rigor mortis, and why this episode is among their favorites. For me, Jeremy Brett gives the definitive performance of Sherlock Holmes, and the Granada production hits all the right notes. Beautifully crafted, this is Holmes at its best. The podcast provides wonderful descriptions of the episodes and loads of analysis and production details.
The reviews are very through and informative. The knowledge of the hosts is uncanny with in depth side stories about each show reviewed. Many hours can be spent listening to reviews weekly. I have been relishing the Conan Doyle magnum opus, Sherlock Holmes, for almost seven decades.
This is the absolute best method of appreciating the various challenges and triumphs of the great detective.
