Edward Hardwicke recalled Jeremy Brett smoked up to 60 cigarettes a day. And I for one have no doubt that in any moment where Holmes is smoking in the series, Brett was genuinely smoking. Sadly, this did no favors for his health.

Haha The Copper Beeches

3:31😂

I do the same thing, when lighting a cigar near coal fire

Jeremy Brett was absolutely brilliant and so believable as Holmes

Unlike most actors he actually looks like he smokes his pipe for the same reason that the book version does he injoys it but it is apart of his process to working cases

I love Watson's deep breath at 1:25, like he knows a huge fight is coming lol

Holmes' pipe here in the second scene is closer to what he smoked in the books. A simple clay pipe. For all of his intelligence and fashionable dress, Holmes was at heart a simple man with simple pleasures (his cocaine habit non withstanding). The huge calabash pipes you see him with in drawings and certain adaptations (such as here) was possibly brought about by stage actor William Gillette, who used one during his stage plays so the smoke wouldn't obscure his face or vision. That might be apocryphal, true, but still, the classic deerstalker hat and calabash pipe are so integral to the character, that seeing him here with a literature accurate clay pipe (note the small nipple at the bottom of the bowl, which was common on clays) is quite odd.

Tremendous acting at 2:55. Look at the expression on Holmes' face as he says "..are past" and immediately after. He looks so crestfallen.

At 2:05 note the "Persian slipper " hanging from mantelpiece where he stored his tobacco.

Watsons tolerance was not so high that’s why he fell asleep , there’s lots of plant matter to try

Spinach in your pipe

If you don't smoke, you are not white.

Holmes is also in his bathrobe, he wears that when he is in a cantankerous mood..didn't even change into his dressing gown

Jeremy Brett modeled his Sherlock Holmes on the Sidney Paget illustrations from the books.Therefore he is seen smoking mostly Church Wardens and Dublins.Then in the Holmes movies of the early - mid 20th century he was seen smoking the Calabash style pipes he is associated with .The curve of the stem allowed the actor ( Basil Rathbone and others) to speak while smoking and still have his face open to view.

Don't you just love that smile at the end of the video? :-)

Actually it was common in the 1700s they even made tongs designed especially for lighting a pipe with a ember

What is this? Is it a movie or a series?

I have lit my own pipe that way. However, I took a small glowing coal and sat it right on top of the tobacco and left it there. It added to the taste of the tobacco.

I say, Benedict's sherlock is the best still. It captures the arrogance, but also the compassion and brilliance of Sherlock Holmes. But one thing Benedict's Sherlock could have improved was Watson's companionship with Sherlock Holmes. Watching the BBC series of Benedict's, I didn't feel like the two were friends. Maybe this was their downfall in season 4. I obviously see in other sherlock films and series of the two characters being real companions, but not on the recent one.

Wait until you find out what cutty pipes were for

The gentleman with the monocle was just great. love him. so über-British.

Does this mean that Watson was an unriable narrator ?

Jeremy Brett is and always will be the physical embodiment of Sherlock Holmes.

Poor Watson. He just wanted to write after a jolt of inspiration came to his mind.

Si comprende come gli Inglesi abbiano potuto costituire un Impero da come parla Holmes.

I want to see him whip out the 3 foot glass bubbler bong just once, for a super perplexing mystery... and then proceed to forget to solve it

“It is quite a three pipe problem” - me at work during any inconvenience

0:13

What a terrible way to light a pipe!

Wouldn't it be fun to name all of these fine pipes.

Unintentional ASMR :)

You wouldn't by chance be able to tell me which episode the scene at 00:37 is from?

This actor (not Watson) always plays such a cad.

I love pipes, pipe tobacco and pipe smoking while watching Granada Holmes. "Pipefinder General", too cool

What movie (or series) is this?

What's the pipe on 0:16 ?? Thanks

The prop manager lost his shag on this one! 😂😂😂 a whole coal wtf! And then the churchwarden paper whip! 😂😂😂 yeah you know this came out of his paycheck 😂😂😂😂

I like the fact he's using all kinds of pipes instead of just one, I understand the reason for the one used in the stage plays which became the iconic one, but the books show he has quite an array of pipes..the long one where he says "to smoke" seems like a churchwarden pipe..which one of the books mentions him replacing an old pipe of his with a "long cherry wood pipe"..that seems like the one mentioned.

Sherlock Holmes is what attracted me to pipe smoking ever since I was a kid, and Jeremy Brett is and always will be my favorite Holmes.

Holmes the diva

2:20 the fact that he didn't clean his pipe after enjoy it bugs me

I got it. That's Lancealot from Excalibur.

This is based on an original sherlock holmes illustration which shows him lighting a churchwarden this way, which as others have said was common in the era.

The great Jeremy Brett, a top class Sherlock Holms and ...a lovely episode about...the three pipe problem 😊😊😊😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

I remember smoking cigarettes AND pipes throughout the course of the show...

Just bought a pipe to smoke weed with wanted to see how he emptied it

What show is this?

Everyone heaps praise on Jeremy Brett as Holmes, and quite right too but David Burke is peerless as Watson. You can really believe that he and Holmes are best friends that live together.

This is like watching your parents fight. You feel awkward and wish you were somewhere else, and it's a bit heartbreaking. xD
