10th Doctor and Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett), two, brillant men, together; solving a great mystery of the universe. Oh- I can hear the fan-gasms now.
Yeah, VBS, one would hope, although, one might have reason to believe the Aussies are still hunting them...(smiles - I don't do 'smilies' and all that stuff). Glad for the 'little grey cells', on that one. Made my day!
Baynes was prettymuch the only actual police inspector throughout the whole series that was close to being on Holmes' level. :) It was nice to see them working more or less together in this story, you're right, in the book Baynes came to Holmes apartment looking for the english gentleman
I think Sherlock looks at this detective as someone of his class and almost intellegence , but not quite as he knows there are none that equals him and his keen observation of the observable...
The Baines I imagine from the story is less unctuous and more humble. The story has them working respectfully along parallel lines. I prefer that dynamic because while Holmes is vain he always makes an effort to respect those of great ability -- Mycroft, Irene, Moriarty. So this portrayal is a bit heavy on the peevishness.
@ProfessorPlum27 Nuuuhghhhhh, seriously, can't they just say "Mr Eccles" or just look at him when they're speaking so he knows they're speaking to them?
The actor's performance as Inspector Baines really made your skin crawl. Especially with that closeup view that gives us a good view of his nostrils. The creepy way he uses his lips and tongue as he talks and laughs. He reaches over and polishes the button of the constable. yuck. loved the way jeremy brett, with that look on his face, stalks over to Baines while he reads the letter and stands staring at him
Ah, VBS, Chakotaysmack might not believe it is a dingo. Are we sure? She thinks it might be too large for a dingo. What do you think? Perhaps the camera was very close? Hmmmm. Get back to me.
Angel of music Wonder. No kidding, the inspector speaks as if his mouth is full of stones & he's having great difficulty keeping from spitting stones in the listener's face. Instead, it seems as if he's spraying spittle on everyone present. At least we're spared a close-up view of that, but if the camera got any closer to his face he would swallow it.

"We need a doctor! Watson! Medical man! What do you prescribe for this man?"
"By jove! A man in shock! He should drink some brandy!"

I say...tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up and ring for my damn servant! LOL

After 8:11, when Holmes fixes his gaze on him, stands up and strides closer...the looks he gives....mmm. Wish he'd get on my case :D
5:43 Holmes and his sing-song "Doctor..." (Y)
This is why we need Wholock
baines is wonderfull.hes like long john silver from the black and white movie.
What the heck is up the inspector? "A man has been killed, eheheh!"
I’m laughing at :49 because dude is wearing a sleeping cap and it reminds me of John Mulaneys comedy stand up regarding sleeping caps.

@ProfessorPlum27: Mr. Scott Eccles, Mr. Scott Eccles, Mr. Scott Eccles... I wispered !!
Jeremy Brett's Holmes is what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had in mind when he wrote the character of Sherlock Holmes!
The Baines I imagine from the story is less unctuous and more humble. The story has them working respectfully along parallel lines. I prefer that dynamic because while Holmes is vain he always makes an effort to respect those of great ability -- Mycroft, Irene, Moriarty. So this portrayal is a bit heavy on the peevishness.
If one more person says 'Mr. Scott Eccles' I'm going to scream.
It would appear, from the manner in which they used the name, that his surname is Scot-Eckles.
@hugho90025 The actor isn't bad; it's his character I don't care for.
Brandy "a cure all " Watsons favorite medicine
You have a very delicate constitution.
@TheWonderfulWombat Aaahhhh!!!!!
@ProfessorPlum27 Mr. Scott Eccles..........(no scream)
Why does the Inspector sound like the actress Margaret Rutherford? Is that his real voice?
is it just me or does the inspector sound like the narrator for the early harry potter games?
@ProfessorPlum27 Nuuuhghhhhh, seriously, can't they just say "Mr Eccles" or just look at him when they're speaking so he knows they're speaking to them?
What did that fox die of? It looks like it was... abused.

Jelly baby. Like a gummy bear only shaped like a swaddled baby. (Doctor Who helped make them internationally famous by his addiction to them).
Does it look like Holmes is a little jealous of Inspector Baynes for doing some deduction on the letter, almost trumping him at his own method?
Ah. You believe it might not be a dingo? What do believe it is?
Ah, VBS, Chakotaysmack might not believe it is a dingo. Are we sure? She thinks it might be too large for a dingo. What do you think? Perhaps the camera was very close? Hmmmm. Get back to me.
Could it be a dingo?
Yes, hon, it is. That is the largest dingo ever. So, if you have proof that this is not a real dingo, please, step forward.
I really don't like Inspector Baynes.
god not you again mr squirrel
nice legs! lol
It was def. not proper spanish that's for sure - there was something absolutely wrong with the sentence, the pausing and the accent... but yes XD
i don't like that inspector. his laugh is irritating
Can’t stand the way the inspector talks... annnnnnooooooyyyyyyyiiiiinnnnnnggggg.
