Sherlock Holmes

My girlfriend is a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. She’s even bought a TV series on DVD. Now, I don’t like crime stories. They are pretty boring to me. But this series… Well, the actor playing Sherlock Holmes is one Jeremy Brett and he’s doing – or rather he did – an astonishing job. His expression, his intonation… everything fits perfectly.

Jeremy Brett didn’t play Sherlock Holmes, he lived the legend. Sadly, he couldn’t let go after the series was finished. Still, a brilliant actor. If you ever get the chance, watch the series. And that’s saying something, coming from me.
