My favorite of the television adaptations is Jeremy Brett, and here's a video which includes some of his best quotes from season 1:
You can watch A Scandal in Bohemia, the first episode in the series, here:
*******
Conan Doyle was by no means limited to writing about Sherlock Holmes, as he wrote many other kinds of works in addition to being a medical doctor, but Holmes is a worthy creation even if most of his other accomplishments have been forgotten.

Let's have a cuppa with the author, shall we? I'll be joining the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering here.

I like Basil Rathbone as Holmes.
ReplyDeleteGood morning-great post!
ReplyDeleteHappy T Kathy
Sherlock Holmes is always a great read. Conan Arthur Doyle was a fantastic author. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI've always liked the stories better than the TV or film adaptations, but there's always something captivating about Sherlock Holmes. In a way it's amazing how the work has kept having such great appeal for generation after generation.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I must shamefully admit... I only know this from... huh. The Simpsons.
ReplyDeleteDon´t hate me!
Like Mae, I enjoy the stories but the TV series on recently didn't capture my attention. It would be nice to have tea with the author though.
ReplyDeleteA soothing beverage and Conan Doyle -- what a great morning!

Love the old photo of the author you found! I have seen the old movie with Basil Rathbone but never saw any of the TV series. Thanks for sharing and happy T day!
ReplyDeleteFabulous stories and photos 😁. I always enjoy the Sherlock Holmes stories and love both the old and new TV series and films too. Did you know that then famous saying "it's elementary my dear watson" was actually never said in any of the books 😀. Happy T Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteYes! He says, "Elementary," _to_ Watson, but I think that's as close as it gets :)
DeleteI love Sherlock Holmes movies / TV series, when they're done true to the original stories. (I think recently there was a TV series, but it was "modern" and I didn't like it at all.) One of my favorite stories is The Hound of the Baskervilles. I even saw a play version of it, which I enjoyed greatly. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!!
ReplyDeleteI too love the old photograph you've shared here …
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Happy T day wishes. I never enjoyed this series of books and films, but they were well written. Its a super old photo you shared.

One of my favorite authors! I have read a lot of his books, not just Sherlock Holmes. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteOh I am quite fond of the Jeremy Brett adaptations also. I remember watching them years ago on PBS. Time to look them up. Hope it was a wonderful T day.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy Sherlock Holmes and this was pretty good. :)
ReplyDeleteI finally got back online late last night, but gave out after about four hours. My eye just couldn't take any more until it rested. Thanks for joining this week's T party. Next week we will use Inlinkz because you can remove your link and start over again if you make a mistake Be sure to use ONLY your name in the "caption" and not your blog post, please.
ReplyDeleteI've always been fond of the works of Doyle. He was a brilliant doctor, a brilliant writer, and helped establish many of the original practices of the old Scotland Yard. I'd enjoy sitting in his garden and having a cup of coffee with him, too. Thanks for sharing these and the photo.
Oh what a wonderful photo of Sir CD drinking his tea in the garden. And what a lovely cottage too.
ReplyDeleteI love Sherlock Holmes.I have never seen the TV series, but I have read most of the books. I occasionally read one even now as I have them on e-reader. It doesn't matter that I have read them before, I don't remember the plot anyway.
Have a good week,
Lisc
I couldn't agree with you more. The Rathbones are fun for their dark moodiness but Brett was just magnificent. He embodied the Holmes I think Doyle would love most. I haven't seen these in ages!
ReplyDeleteOld and new versions are all enjoyable ~ Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple of the Benedict Cumberbach Sherlock on my PVR - saving for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteBasil Rathbone was my favorite TV Sherlock Holmes. I love the books.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen
I read a lot of Arthur Conan Doyle books my teens, along with Dickens, HE Bates, the Brontes and Jane Austen and others - I often think of re-reading them but worry about spoiling the memory of the first read! Yes, Jeremy Brett was the best Sherlock! Have great week! Belated Happy T day! Chrisx
