Jeremy Brett - Blog Posts
so, I made a guide for the order of the granada sherlock holmes series [1984-1994] (mostly for my own benefit, but felt like sharing for anyone else as confused as I was before I made this, so here we are)

s6x3/ep35 - the eligible bachelor [1993]
the memoirs of sherlock holmes [1994] (6eps)
s7 (36-41/6eps) [1994]
it goes per the show titles, the movies are placed when they came out within the shows. since there are 41 episodes in total I wanted to know how many there are per season so that's what I did with the addition of which episode numbers they are all together. if that makes any sense (it does to me at least)
feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes. I took most of the info from imdb and wikipedia.
I might add all the individual ep names later on but can't promise that yet. we'll see where my hyperfixating takes me next. anyways, this is done now sooo... bye, see ya :]
Jeremy Brett was easily the best Holmes
I had to download the episode and cut out this scene because I need this clip from Granadas The Speckled Band. It's the scene that made me fall in love with Jeremy Brett. <3
The laugh! The smile! This man was such a treasure. <3 <3 <3
I just pledged; there’s also a Kickstarter for new traditional style Sherlock Holmes stories from MX Books.
Attention Jeremy Brett fans!

Dear friends who enjoyed Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, his first guest star, Gayle Hunnicutt, who played Irene Adler in the series first episode, “A Scandal in Bohemia” has died at 80 years old. Her Adler was superb.
A demon possessed me and this was left in my camera roll when I came to
rip sherlock holmes the original 365 party girl... you would have loved brat although I think you would get overstimulated in a modern gay bar
Oh well

Happy Birthday, Jeremy Brett!

The most impeccable Sherlock Holmes
The finest Gentleman
A gift to us all
Jeremy Brett, with his wife Anna Massey, and their son David Huggins
Jeremy Brett Being Charming (2)
Besides Jeremy Brett looking like a Charming Prince in My Fair Lady, he acted like a Prince Charming as well.
The way he looks at Eliza Doolittle (Audrey Hepburn) is so adorable. He looks at her with such admiration and love.
He tips off his hat for her. Such a gentleman.
The way he stands by her side.
He brings her flowers.
He’s ready to wait for her, no matter how long it may take.
Everything about him is pure perfection.
Bad boys are overrated, we need more guys like Freddy Eynsford-Hill (Jeremy Brett).
Jeremy Brett’s Charm
Jeremy Brett always had this prince-like charm.
He looked like a perfect Disney Prince.
Especially in My Fair Lady, he both looked and acted like a Prince Charming in the movie.

WAHEYYYYY
You do NOT want to miss this!! The Secret of Sherlock Holmes
Podcast going *in depth* on the Jeremy Brett / Edward Hardwicke stage play!!! 🎉
They've cleaned up the audio you may have heard before (on YouTube )
They describe the visuals that have been lost to time from crew interviews
They've included snippets of the crew telling backstage stories!
It was practically like being there!!
I know because I was lucky enough to actually see the play.
Part II is just commentary and is linked from this one
UPDATE: @ninasnakie asked if this was AI. I'm not sure if that means the whole play, but the the short answer is that if it was faked, it would have had better sound.
The recordings of the play (the best of which is on YouTube) were made by fans who snuck in their tape recorders, and the sound quality is pretty terrible.
So the podcaster (a reputable pro with a fantastic podcast - The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast) used multiple copies to combine and cleaned it up manually and mentions in the second part that he did use AI to help clean it up, so you can make out what they're saying, and they have a really good discussion about that.
They didn't include all of the play audio, just key / most scenes and used crew interviews and descriptions / summaries in between. Even some of the key scenes are extremely difficult to hear even at maximum volume. I'm sure that a lot was completely useless.
I hope this helps!
Romancing the Text: Jeremy Brett, Paper, and Sherlock Holmes
It’s late, this week is still terrible, and I’ve got some time to consider a question that has been much on my mind of late: why is it that I love watching Jeremy Brett handle paper? I’m taking it up now partly because it was always my intention, after finishing the rewatch, to write up a post about why Jeremy Brett was the definitive 20th century Sherlock Holmes. But every time I start such a post, I think, oh what’s the point, it’s all already been said, by myself even, and anyway there’s too much. I’ve formulated a hypothesis, though, which is that if I can explain why Brett’s interaction with paper is so important to my enjoyment of this show, I will probably in the process be demonstrating what it was that made his Sherlock Holmes so unique and indelible. So follow me, friends, while I unfold my crackpot theories about the romance of the material text and how it binds us to the Master Paper-Handler.
