... does sort of add to the effect of the setting of the Victorian era. The sets are in general well made and good use has been made of the candles and paraffin as well as gas lighting to set the historical scene.
Brett added to the character of Holmes by adding the short manic laugh, the hand gestures and by throwing himself on the floor to look for footprints and even jump on bridges just to add extra eccentricity and life to the character. Something which the health and safty mob would have a field day with now. Un...more

Sherlock Holmes - The Complete Collection (DVD): Far better than the BBC's attempt (1081 words)by - written on 19/08/12 (Very useful, 74 readings)
Rating:
I remember seeing some of these old episodes when I was growing up and they remain far superior to the updated version made more recently by the BBC. Hence when I got the chance to buy these from Amazon for £21.97 I jumped at the chance using some of the Amazon gift tokens I have built up. The outer cardboard box contains two DVD cases each with 8 discs inside. Sherlock Holmes is perhaps one of the best known private detectives in popular fiction. Whilst his methods are unusual he does get the job done. Holmes is aided by his long time friend and colleague Dr Watson with the odd bit of input from his landlady Mrs Hudson. Whilst Mrs Hudson appears to be rather ... Read the complete review

Sherlock Holmes - The Complete Collection brings together all 41 episodes from the Granada series of the 1980s and 1990s starring the late Jeremy Brett. The series was notable for its attempt to stay as faithful as possible to Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's original canon. This collection includes The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Jeremy Brett's performance as Holmes is nothing short of fantastic (and the reason why he has become my favourite actor) and he is superbly supported by David Burke and, in series 2, 3 and 4, Edward Hardwicke as Dr Watson. ...

One of the two Diamonds of TV shows. There are few things that I would say are perfect, but this show is perfect. In now way could anyone have made this any better, from the writing and directing to the acting, lighting, camera work and action. You know when you first watch this that had the talent and the money to back it. This is perfect. The adaptions of the books of Sherlock Holmes remain as close to the books as possible, and have Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes (in the closest and best portayal of Holmes as written in the Book) and David Burke as Dr Watson as in the first series, with Edward Harwicke taking over for the further 3 series. Each episode always ... Read the complete review

This seminal ITV series is wonderful for endless viewing and I would recommend buying the boxed set because you experience something afresh everytime you watch an episode. The adaptations are respectful of Conan Doyle's original stories but contribute a new understanding to the characters in the guise of the rather melancholic and brilliant Jeremy Brett as Holmes and stalwarts Edward Hardwicke/David Burke as Watson. Brett came to personify Holmes in a way that no other has; his performance was so intense he even 'played' the character off air. His dedication to his craft and authenticity shines brightly in these adaptions- which would have been ... Read the complete review
