For me Jeremy Brett will always be THE Sherlock Holmes! Totally authentic, masterful, I could go on & on. He even looked like one expected Holmes to look, & was the right age to give Holmes the gravitase that one would hope for. I like Benedict's performance a bit more each time, but the new Sherlock is a bit too frenetic & scattered for my tastes, I just preferred the Granada series because of Brett & because they stayed truer to the books. One story I always wished Brett & Granada had done was "The Five Orange Pips" that would have been fun. I grew up here in the US watching Brett on PBS "Mystery" hosted by Diana Rigg, & to this day I watch his Holmes episodes over & over. They are like a fine wine, they just keep getting better! Perfection.
