Jeremy Brett & Basil Rathbone will never be surpassed !!! Edward Hardwicke is also a great quality and an unsurpassing actor !! all fine real gentlemen !!!.
12:24 This is a fine and understated performance by Charles Kay. You can see the professor begin to lose himself juuust a bit as he gets into describing an aspect of primate behavior related to sexuality - which is, of course, at the very heart of his own secret activities. Kay was also particularly well-cast for this part, as the professor hides behind a formal and stuffy manner that brings to mind Kay's portrayal of Count Orsini-Rosenberg in Amadeus.
3.35 : 221....b ? Hardly an address to inspire confidence . Holmes : I have never sought to inspire confidence in others . I have quite enough of my own. Peerless ! Delivered as only Jeremy could....can you imagine Robert Downey delivering the same line with such panache ?
Look carefully at 8:34. Very interesting papers! ”Dr John H. Watson on his oath says... a Post Mortem examination on the body of Honourable Ronald Adair...” (From the Empty House) ”We wish to protest in the strongest possible terms at the imperialistic expansionist actions of the British Government...” (From the Second Stain) That is weird!
Yeah. He was on his decline here in the 90:s. Brett was in fact a handsome guy. You can see that in the early Holmes adaptions but here he has been aging quite hard. He was a heavy smoker and I think he consumed pretty heavy medication for his manic depression here. In 1995 his heart gave up on him and he died.
To make this chapter, which btw, is superb, those responsible for doing so, must have arranged for something to be done to Roy's teeth. Looks like it could be a graft of some kind, Shame! I do hate it when animals are used this way. Hopefully, I'm mistaken.
9:25 what Sherlock said: Dorak what I heard: Dalek i proceeded to fan girl out and afterward fantasize about an official Sherlock Holmes and Dr who crossover
prolifik5, it’s not that he’s not not aware of Holmes. He considers Holmes and especially his work as a detective to be common, vulgar and beneath him.
Holmes is such a nerd. I love it. "I never sought to inspire confidence in others, I have quite enough of my own" - awesome self possession. "I would hesitate in calling LeStrange if you wish this mystery to be solved." Lol. quick.
There again, it does have some basis in fact, albeit rather tenous. In the early years of the 20th Century proceding right through to the middle decades it was believed the sewing thin slivers of monkey testicles on the the inside of the scrotum would cause rejuvination. One of it's pioneers was a Russian - Professor Voronoff, who by the 1930's was performing ten of these operations a week! Even thought such operations were, by the mid-50's denounced as fraud, the medical profession is now looking at it more closely and appears to consider that there may be some merit to them...So, although this story was highly elaborate, there does seem to be some merit in the basis of it.

Basil Rathbone has been surpassed by every other Sherlock. Jeremy Brett, however, is truly superb.

He would have delivered it differently, but just as well.
Creepy professor
Wow! Bennet is "wicked Wyckham" from the Pride and Prejudice mini-series.

6:21 Watson´s face when he is about to drink his coffee and Holmes yelled: "Come in!" hahahaha!!!
Nadia Lamadrid . Good observations.
jeremy is obviously ailing. poor Jeremmy.

This is the first episode where it was evident he was "ailing."
Lol Holmes says Watson was veritable bear the day before. x'D

Bazil Rathbone would not have dropped that cigarette butt in the empty egg shell I'm quite sure of it!
my heart as a eternally hungry child was truly unhappy about those details!!!

OMG I´m not the only one who would love to have a Sherlock Holmes - Doctor Who crossover!!! :D
I just love those carriages.
What rock is this guy living under if he doesn't know who Sherlock is at this point?

Nice. Volume good on this upload.
The original story was thin enough - yete they've managed to whittle it down even further.
