Paul Annett (1937–2017)

Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes ever--as quirky as he is brilliant, but no eccentricity is gratuitous. All the extraordinary aspects of this extraordinary character are meticulously integrated into the brilliant, fascinating man. Thank you.

Excellent British TV mystery series staring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. ( all 43 hours/ 41 episodes ) A 44 page booklet is also included to discuss and describe each of the 41 stories/episodes.

Sherlock Holmes has been played by Basil Rathbone, Ronald Howard, Peter Cushing, Robert Stephens, Vasily Livanov, Michael Caine, Robert Downey Jr, Hugh Laurie , Benedict Cumberbatch, Johnny Lee Miller, Ian Mckellen, Dean Fujioka , Henry Cavill etc.
Rewatching the Granada tv series, I just have to say Jeremy Brett was absolutely enchanting in the role. He brought so much beauty and magic to the role in the same way as Basil Rathbone and William Gillette. A beautifully talented actor gone too soon.
