For some reason I had it in my mind that Sherlock Holmes had been poorly represented on television and far too numerously so omitted him from the poll.

Recently however I dusted off my Conan Doyle collection and have been re-reading the entire works of Sherlock Holmes (nothing to do with the movie that I have little to no interest in) and decided to check out more closely the series on Granada that Dr Dave cited.

I don't know how it passed me by the first time but it's fucking first rate. It's definitely NOT the show I saw taking on Holmes that I was very unimpressed by.

I've watched loads of the PROPER show now and I absolutely love it. Not in any small part because of a masterful portrayal of Holmes by Jeremy Brett.

Brett IS Holmes. There is no other. He is fucking perfect. What a total and utter legend Jeremy Brett was. hpeh2:

He is clearly the definitive Holmes. Nobody else has a chance really. Not Robert Downy Jr, not ANYBODY.

Still would have been better if the mighty JULIAN SANDS had played him.

Or Julian Bashir and everyone said "aren't you a bit DUSKY to be Holmes, what what?"

I've been watching some of the Jeremy Brett series episodes and I was right in remembering they were good.

Not a huge fan of one of the guy who plays Holmes in some of the episodes, but still a good series.
