thinking why do i like Jeremy Brett so much, what was the attraction in the first place? Well in Sherlock for example Silver Blase, the way he handles the horse that he likes animals,the way he interacts with children, you can see Jeremy as Jeremy. Then the acting,it is so natural, so vital even when he was so ill, as in the dying detective, what

Yeas ago on Sunday afternoons ITV3 were showing Sherlock, at that time I was well and working, so Sundays were spent cleaning out my numerous charges, so never had time to stop and watch them although my partner was. I asked about the actor as I thought he was good, having read the canon six times and forming my own idea of Holmes. Dave told me who he was, but also said he had died of a broken heart after the death of his wife. I found I couldn't watch it as I felt if I did I would In Jeremy's words 'drown in his beauty', I felt that something was there waiting for the right moment to swallow me, to help this man who was unable to keep his memory alive. Then one Sunday nothing was on tv, I asked if we could watch one of the series, the time must have been right, 'cos I drowned in his acting! and his presence. I read a book about him, Terry Manners ugh! then read what I could from the Brettish empire. Then my friends husband for Christmas last year sent me THREE discs all about Jeremy that he had downloaded as a thank you for 'saving his life'. The first time I heard him sing, Swoon!! T got round Dave to get us on the internet, as I had a computer. And I am so glad I did, finding others who LOVE him the way I do. I treated myself to Linda's wonderful book, now I know what Jeremy was really like, not Manners twisted idea.

Now I seem to have loved him since the'70s as I remember those mannequin dummys, I wasted so much time just staring at the three in a local shop window! (I even wanted to buy one)
I wish I could have met him to thank him for giving me a reason to be me, as I can't I buy him a bunch of red roses every week, my mum died about the same time as Jeremy, so I make two trips to St Albans Abbey to light candles for them. I have written to Linda thanking her for all she has done for him and aways say a prayer for her.
