I remember being in the reading club and read a book on one of his cases, I got hooked. I bought the whole canon, read it and hailed it as my most favorite book. Sherlock is my most favorite consulting detective and Jeremy Brett is my favorite Sherlock
Just to think, if it wasn't for Sherlock Holmes, I would never know who Basil Rathbone was. As good as Jeremy Brett is as Holmes, Rathbone is & always be my favorite. ❤
The film was alright, but I hate how they made Watson an idiot. Watson was never an idiot. He helped Holmes a lot, especially to connect with his client's emotional state. Jeremy Brett's Sherlock series restored Watson interpretations. That's why it is my favorite
I've loved Sherlock Holmes stories since I was a child and watched Basil Rathbone playing the role. And in all this time, I had never heard Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's voice before this documentary. He sounds a bit like Nigel Bruce from those black and white films that woke my love for the books.
A few years before Arthur Conan Doyle began his medical studies in Edinburgh one James McLevy, a real-life Inspector of Police based in Edinburgh, published his own memoirs in a series of three books. These memoirs were re-published by Mercat Press in 2001 and 2002 in two volumes - McLevy, The Edinburgh Detective and McLevy Returns. There is a probability that Conan Doyle was greatly influenced by McLevey - the timeline alone would suggest it. There are also four novels written about this Edinburgh detective - The Inspector McLevy Mysteries - which I thoroughly recommend to any Sherlock Holmes admirer, together with a radio series which is available on UA-cam.
Loved ELEMENTARY (CBS 2012 - 2019) an American / British contribution for T.V. starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock and Lucy Liu as Dr. Watson 💞 7 Seasons with 24 episodes per S1 - S5. Season 6 = 21 eps & S7 at 13 episodes. No spoiler alert but it must be known that this adaption is abit different however, S.Hs & Dr.Ws Character remains in its original state.
SH was based born out of desire of Arthur Conan Doyle for effective policing. Scotland yard was just maturing . Truly Doyle was visionary. But there was one detective who might fit the bill of being real SH and he was Sir Bernard Spilsbury. His methods brought forensic science popularity.
@@paurushbhatnagar8100 Unfortunately, I don't think he was. Holmes was inspired by two other people and sir AC Doyle actually didn't like him much. That's the reason so many of the stories only feature Holmes in the first half, while the second half consists of someone else telling a dramatic story.
When I was a young teen I was reading Holmes and my mom came into the room, saw what I was reading and asked me if Sherlock Holmes was a real person. I confess the question had never crossed my mind. I turned the book around and saw the "Fiction" sticker on the spine and discovered that Holmes wasn't a real person. Still impressed that Conan Doyle was so far ahead of his time in the field of criminal forensics.
Question about the bullet casing forensics. If a round is a reload how does that affect the round when it comes to forensics? Does the casing only show the new weapon that fired it? Or signs of both? Does this then make the casing untraceable? No, I don't reload rounds or have any intention of doing this. The thought just hit me when they were talking about the uniqueness of the casing.
Not a forensics expert by any means, but as I understand it there are three major marks on the casing: The breech face mark, the ejector mark and the firing pin mark. I would suspect that the breech face would, to a greater or less degree be marked 'on top' of any existing one: think one footprint on top of another. The more recent on would be more prominent, but there may be some overlap. The firing pin mark is on the primer in center fire cartridges, which is replaced when it is reloaded, so that will from the new weapon. The ejector will add an additional mark when it's fired in each weapon, and whether it will be overprinted like the breech face will depend on the rotation of the cartridge in the chamber, but would likely be identifiable to the new weapon. Again, this is for center fire cartridges. Rim fires cartridges are not reloaded.
The uniqueness is in the barrel of the gun. Only when you fire the round does it show which weapon it came from. Every bullet fired from a specific gun will have the same uniqueness.
When a casing is reloaded, the casing is brought back to factory dimensions and the primer is replaced, both are used to trace the casing to a particular firearm, microscopic analysis of the base, where the manufacturer stamps there trade mark, might show the marks of the recoil shield from the firearm.
Never saw the late, great Jeremy Brett as Holmes in your film snippets. Shame, as i thought he was by far the most genuine and true to character Sherlock Holmes whether in the films or tv-series.
Poe's Murder on the Rue Morgues' Dupin displayed many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.
Why is there no mention of Eugene Francois Vidocq? He was a real detective who used early although primitive forensics. He even has a society named after him. This group of experts helps solve cold cases such as “ the boy in the box”. A man ahead of his time!
This looked interesting, but the sound was so loud, jarring, and so entirely unrelated to the subject matter, that we had to turn the show off. Truly aggravating.
For me, out of the modern TV adaptations Jonny Lee Miller is the best Holmes in the series Elementary, though Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House is a close 2nd as an analogue character of Holmes. If going for a comedy adaptation the Without A Clue 1988 starring Michael Caine as a bumbling Holmes & Ben Kingsley as a sharp minded Watson can't be beaten. I wasn't a huge fan of the BBC's Sherlock. Yes it helped introduce a new generation of people to the books but it just lacked something (good acting maybe?).
Would Hercule Poirot qualify as a Holmes analog? I did enjoy Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes as well, he has a... flair, for the dramatic. Adrian Monk I think, makes a good third place in this day and age.
@@LoneTiger Yeah Hercule Poirot is quite a Sherlockian character, insightful but blind to niceties to others, fussy & a few problems/weaknesses. I did enjoy Robert Downey Jr, though there was a quiet mania in his portrayal which I didn't pick up from the stories myself. But maybe that's just Holmes as a younger man before he has control of himself? I've only seen a couple of episodes of Monk, very good so far. Have you seen Sir Ian McKellen in Mr Holmes (2015)? Well worth a watch if you haven't
@@OldPirate1718 I have read the original stories, many times. When it comes to setting them in the modern day I'll stand by J.L. Miller being my favourite Holmes. Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch was pretty terrible for my taste, it was typical of Moffat's writing that it was all running about like Doctor Who. House was very much based on Sherlock Holmes, the writers freely admitted it & had a lot of story elements mixed in there. But we all have different tastes, otherwise we'd all just be watching remakes of the original told verbatim. I still enjoy the original stories & adaptations & have been for over 40 years.
I have just completed two extremely large volumes of Doyle’s short stories, everything from “The Lord of Chateau Noir” to “The Horror of the Heights”, 1400 or more pages of “so called” NON Sherlock stories. What is fascinating is,if you read closely, you can see the slowly emerging characters of both Watson AND Holmes in several of his main protagonists as Doyle progresses through his other short works. By the time he pens “Behind The Times”, second to the last short paragraph, the main protagonist’s housekeeper is named MRS. HUDSON!
His Irishness is questionable as he was born in Scotland, but I agree that it should be stressed he wasn't an English writer. I'm from Czechia and too often I see Central and Eastern European personalities' origins forgotten. Marie Curie-Sklodowska was Polish but a lot of people think she was French, etc. So I can relate.
I'm so tired of the negative comments about the BBC show Sherlock. It seems to be the same people making the same tired comments over and over. For anyone who read the original stories, Sherlock stuck to the canon far better than other examples.

A man uses science as literary material. Another uses literature as scientific inspiration. Everything is connected, because there is a socially voluntarily created space in which fiction and reality sometimes mix: this space is the one shared by lawyers, prosecutors and judges. This explains both the success and influence of a character like Sherlock Holmes. It is impossible not to notice the similarity between the names Sherlock (Conan Doyle's character) and Shylock (Shakespeare's character), both share at least one characteristic: persistence. But while one uses intelligence for his own benefit, the other uses it for the benefit of society. Every banker has a bit of Shylock, but none of them fail to demand meticulous, Sherlock Holmes-style investigations when their bank is robbed. Except if the banker is American, because in the USA, anyone who robs the bank they manage or causes it to go bankrupt ends up being saved with a large distribution of public money, as occurred after the 2008 crisis. American bankers would make Shylock blush and Sherlock Holmes die of hunger because in the USA many white collar crimes are committed without mystery or attempted cover-up.

Basil Rathbone was the best Sherlock Holmes. He was the perfect refined English gentleman detective, with the pleasing to the ear accent. Jeremy Brett comes after him.
How many of you can name all the actors who have played Sherlock Holmes? Sir Christopher Lee (in a German made film), Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett, Sir Peter Cushing, Charlton Heston, Christopher Plummer, Benedict Cumberbatch, George C. Scott and Robert Downey JR. There was also an animated show called Sherlock Holmes in the 23rd Century. The latest is Henry Cavill in a pair of streaming movies about an nonexistent sister. In all the Holmes actors mentioned only Sir Christopher Lee has appeared as different characters in Holmes movies. In Peter Cushing's The Hound of the Baskervilles he was Sir Henry Baskerville. And in another he played Mycroft Holmes.
You're missing Ronald Howard from the TV series and also Ian McKellan in Mr. Holmes. Technically also Johny Lee Miller from Elementary but his character is more Sherlock in name than anything so I won't fault his absence.
Honestly I can not stand Cumerbuns Sherlock after S1👎 it goes completely off the rails s2 and beyond. THE BEST MOST FAITHFUL AND ACTED Sherlock Holmes adoptions was the Jeremy Brett's Of Holmes adventures from 1984 to 1994❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
Around 40 minutes, I realise this is the opposite of Holmes. Start out by eliminating Holmes, looking at all the process of developing logical thought. Greek Classic philosophers would have been a familiar part of Conan Doyle's education. Holmes is entertaining mainly because he has been given all these devices by the author, but chooses to part around in a fantasy amateur dramatic, taking drugs, in love with his bumbling alter ego Watson. The stories are Edwardian ripping tales.
one thing that is not mentioned but seems quite obvious to me is that the characters of Holmes and Watson are in many ways both sides of Doyle's own Gemini nature, being Gemini also I am well aware of the differing nature of the "twins", one affable and out going a.k.a. Watson and the other studious, stoic and colder a.k.a. Holmes. Is a thought to ponder :)
There are so many dumb ideas and bad inferences drawn in the Holmes stories that it really doesn't surprise me that it informs terrible policework in modern times too.
_"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"_
Finally someone to put respect on Holmes' influence on our world. People don't realize how much he affected the things we love. He inspired so much.
Shouldn't it be Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's influence on our world?
@@laura121684 Yes, but it was also through Sherlock Holmes.

Holmes is entertaining mainly because he has been given all these devices by the author, but chooses to part around in a fantasy amateur dramatic, taking drugs, in love with his bumbling alter ego Watson.
The stories are Edwardian ripping tales.
one thing that is not mentioned but seems quite obvious to me is that the characters of Holmes and Watson are in many ways both sides of Doyle's own Gemini nature, being Gemini also I am well aware of the differing nature of the "twins", one affable and out going a.k.a. Watson and the other studious, stoic and colder a.k.a. Holmes. Is a thought to ponder :)
There are so many dumb ideas and bad inferences drawn in the Holmes stories that it really doesn't surprise me that it informs terrible policework in modern times too.
