I have a bucket list of Iconic Jeremy Brett Quotes that I’ve gathered from interviews with him and his colleagues that I want to be able to say in my life time.

“If it cheers the gays up I’m thrilled” is an obvious one, but a slightly more niche personal favorite (from an interview with David Burke ) is: “Dearheart! Do you realize…we are on a postage stamp??”

A beautiful Monday everyone! Today I give you another sketch of our two favourite roommates. This time i’ve planned to digitalise the sketch and make a painting of it. We will see when I finish it.

FILM & TV YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW: Day 3 – Characters

“Watson was more in love with Holmes — in a pure sense — than he could have been with a woman. He wouldn’t want to give up the excitement, the danger. As for Holmes, if Watson had gone off and left him for a woman he wouldn’t know what to do. He’d be stoned out of his mind every night.” – Jeremy Brett, as quoted in David Stuart Davies’s Starring Sherlock Holmes

David Burke Watson...

Shoutout to the uncomfortably long five seconds in Granada’s Crooked Man that Holmes just spends ogling Watson like He’s me and Watson is a toasty buttered veggie bacon bagel with strawberry milk and creamy tomato bisque on the side

Also maybe red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting for dessert

HE’S SO CUTE

he also mentioned in an interview that he kept a diary of his time playing watson, which is so unbelievably adorable that it makes me want to squish him.

Also. What’s an othello?

When Granada TV, in the shape of my old friend Michael Cox, asked me to play Doctor Watson, I was very pleased (the heart of the jobbing actor always beats a little faster at the mention of the TV series), but also a little worried. I went to my wife and told her I had reservations about playing a man who had serious claims to be the most ordinary character in English literature. 'I wouldn't know how to play him,' I said. She turned to me with genuine puzzlement and said, 'What's your problem? It's you to a tee!' In the succeeding days her opinion was confirmed when several of my friends shook me warmly by the hand and swore that simply no other person could play the part as well as me. Since then I have had to live with the terrible truth that I was born to play Doctor Watson. The sacks of congratulatory mail which I have received since the series was shown have merely confirmed this. Consider the effect of this on the mind of a serious and sensitive actor (who has given his Othello twice): to be at the top of everyone's list to play Mr Pooter in The Diary Of A Nobody. However, I have always prided myself on being a practical, pragmatic sort of person; a realist and a stoic. So I got on with it and played the good doctor for 18 months of my life. Of course, it was child's play: I needed to change only clothes, my mind stayed exactly where it was. Indeed, I barely needed to think. I never consciously learned my lines: I opened my mouth, and the correct words uttered themselves. I leave the reader to decide whether this is a case of arrogance or humility.

Found this adorable excerpt from David Burke here.

He is Jeffery Lambe.

Great memories of being on location in Switzerland 1984,filming Sherlock Holmes. That's me with Jeremy Brett and David Burke. We had walked to the Glacier in the background and had Champange that Jeremy had asked us to bring as a surprise for the Crew chilled champagnes cool from the Glacier

there's the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.
