Threat Made Good

Thanks to DernWraithslayer at Youtube for posting this clip. http://www.amazon.com/ has the complete Granada production series available.

Some time ago, I made a list of all the things that I've been meaning to share. Part of the delay has been a lack of techno know-how. Another part of that has been a lack of focus. Surprise! Today as I have been trying to find some peace to talk to peole without that quakey "My life is taking a shit I'd rather be onto the next life. Don't mind me."voice, I realized that I know more about blogging and links than I did a year ago and that I should get busy trying to do some of these things. So here we are.


I once threatened to reveal why Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes ever. I still maintain that Rathbone is a James Bond version of the most well known consulting Detective in all of Brittish History, neigh! the world. But I can't really tell you how great Brett is (saddly, that should be was as he passed in 1995). He defies description. So instead I will show you. This is from the middle of an episode called "The Musgrave Ritual". It was always one of my favorite stories because of the puzzle. It was rather Doctor Jones before we ever met Indy. As you watch this clip (it's a full 10 minutes) you'll see Brett's obeservant Holmes. He is always looking. Edward Hardwick's Watson is a great foil as I have said before. But he isn't the dolt that Hollywood made him out to be long ago. I give you... Holmes at his finest.

According to Wikipedia the whole family is not entirely behind the venture. That said, I would still go to Baker street and hang out for a while. Admission is a mere 6€ for adults. Cheaper than a movie in the States.
