New Sherlock Holmes movie...

[jamiebhoy]

Has nobody seen the Granada Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke?

Big repsect for that Lyle, guy was classic, he was even better than the old black and white Basil Rathbone movie series.
I read somewhere that he was suffering from depression about not being Holmes asfter it was cut and was convinced he was Holmes !! Poor guy commited suicide afterwards.

Go get it if you can , best bit of method acting ever.

Jeremy Brett died from heart failure, his heart valves having been scarred by rhumatic fever from earlier in his life. He was a manic-depressive though.

I own the entire Granada series, great stuff

Nice one mate, just shows you can't believe everything you read in the tabloids!! Tempted to go out and get that series now , you just cost me some bucks !

It's not a cheap series but totally worth it! The two guys who played Doctor Watson and the fella who played Mycroft Holmes was also very good.

Nobody can touch Jeremy Brett as Holmes, but I agree that Alan Rickman might be able to put a decent spin on the character. Never ever thought of him as a choice before but now I think about it, he sounds quite apt.
