Remember?

If i had to write BBC Sherlock as out of character as possible, I’d make John beat Sherlock to a pulp, mrs Hudson speed across London in an Aston Martin, Mycroft throw up from seeing violence and Sherlock confess his love to a woman.

So. Is Sherlock Holmes' monograph entitled 'Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with Some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen' because of a letter that Arthur Conan Doyle got from a rabid fangirl, or...?

Romancing the Text: Jeremy Brett, Paper, and Sherlock Holmes

It’s late, this week is still terrible, and I’ve got some time to consider a question that has been much on my mind of late: why is it that I love watching Jeremy Brett handle paper? I’m taking it up now partly because it was always my intention, after finishing the rewatch, to write up a post about why Jeremy Brett was the definitive 20th century Sherlock Holmes. But every time I start such a post, I think, oh what’s the point, it’s all already been said, by myself even, and anyway there’s too much. I’ve formulated a hypothesis, though, which is that if I can explain why Brett’s interaction with paper is so important to my enjoyment of this show, I will probably in the process be demonstrating what it was that made his Sherlock Holmes so unique and indelible. So follow me, friends, while I unfold my crackpot theories about the romance of the material text and how it binds us to the Master Paper-Handler.

Holmes and Watson are two men who have a pathological need to be in everyone else’s business at all time. Very sweet that they found each other.

Do you prefer tea or coffee?
