I still can’t believe that in the literal first paragraph of A Scandal in Bohemia they make it very clear that Sherlock Holmes doesn’t feel anything close to love or anything romantic towards Irene Adler, and adaptations STILL manage to fuck it up.

And I can’t believe a big part of the story is that Irene Adler got MARRIED to someone whom she loved and adaptations STILL manage to fuck that up.

forever mourning how granada holmes never adapted the three garridebs. diabolical. unbelievable, even. 'if you had killed watson you would not have made it out of this room alive' but in brett's frightfully intense and low, biting, hissing voice. the violent, wild stare versus the gentle hand on watson's knee. all of that precarious control getting flung out the window. the humanity of it. gritting my teeth can you fucking imagine.

SHERLOCK HOLMES (1984-1994) ♦︎ 40th Anniversary ♦︎

“To me, the Sherlock Holmes stories are about a great friendship. The two men are interdependent; without Watson, Holmes might well have burnt out on cocaine long ago. And Watson leads a pretty dull life, enlivened only by his adventures with Holmes. I hope the series shows how important friendship is.” – Jeremy Brett

Absolutely love it when fics have Holmes trying to play off an injury as less serious than it actually is, but let's be real - that man is dramatic. If he was a dog, he'd be the type to fake a paw injury for extra treats and attention but forget which foot he used.

Oh this scene's got me in a chokehold look at them

going on pinterest and specifically searching for “sherlock holmes 2009” or “granada holmes” and still seeing bbc sherlock pop up everywhere must be some sort of human rights violation. your honor that is not sherlock holmes that is an edgy twink who thinks being a sociopath consists of being not very nice to people some of the time

Happy May 4th, my fellow Holmesians and Sherlockians! The day that Sherlock pushed Moriarty into the Reichenbach Falls in 1891. Or otherwise known as the day that Doyle tried to kill off Sherlock, and failed fantastically.

Surprise Holmesposting but I always lose it at his face journey at the end of the Copper Beeches listening to how Watson wrote it up

[fairer-tales]

watson saying he'll find 'something quiet' to do when in fact he is just sitting down, sneakily watching holmes while he's thinking and writing about him like a girl with her diary is WONDERFUL

[bananaeatstape]

everyone shut up you know what i think is so cool

the fact Nigel Bruce who worked with Basil Rathbone in several Sherlock Holmes films knew Sir Cedric Hardwicke

Sir Cedric Hardwicke's son Ted Hardwicke ended up playing with Jeremy Brett in Granada's Sherlock Holmes production, replacing David Burke

David Burke appeared in a series called The Champions, and so did Brett

Brett was besties with Robert Stephens who played Holmes with Collin Blakely as Watson in Billy Wilder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

the Granada production also had Jude Law appear with Brett and Ted in the Shoscombe Old Place episode

Brett had met Stephen Fry who has met Hugh Laurie, who plays the title role in the Holmes-inspired medical drama House with Robert Sean Leonard as Dr. James Wilson

also Jude Law plays Watson alongside Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes in the Guy Ritchie films

RDJ has acted with Benedict Cumberbatch in Marvel's Avenger movies

guess who also appears in those movies? Martin Freeman

Cumberbatch and Freeman have played Holmes and Watson respectively in BBC's Sherlock

Ben's family was also friends with Brett and he grew up watching the show

Cumberbatch and Freeman also appear in the Hobbit movies alongside Ian McKellen, who stars as Holmes in a film based on a book of the same name, Mr. Holmes

both McKellen and Cumberbatch have met Jonny Lee Miller who stars with Lucy Liu in CBS' Elementary

Miller and Ben have acted together in a production of Frankenstein, alternating each other's roles

also i forgor but was reminded by yall that Stephen Fry did not just meet Laurie, he acted with him in Jeeves and Wooster and he also played Mycroft in the Ritchie Holmes films

Granada TV - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984)

He is learning from the best, the deductive reasoning is just a bonus

[guiigemar]

i love it in Granada when Sherlock pulls out a cunty little pose before a client walks into the room

[janeiscompletelyfine]

Wow I just watched A Scandal In Bohemia and y'all weren't lying. David Burke was hilarious, and Gayle Hunnicutt was perfect.... and Jeremy Brett really is absolutely phenomenal-- he IS Holmes in body and soul.

WHERE WAS THIS ALL MY LIFE?!
