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

I couldn't agree with you more!
Even though I know he was so ill, it is one of my faves.
When 'Smith' is questioning him about 'the box' and Jeremy is leaning over the chair, oh, the sounds he makes. He is simply amazing!

Your remark 'you can see Jeremy as Jeremy' is also spot on.

Take care and my best to you...

Thanks, do you think though he wasn't acting that scene? I read somewhere that he had pneumonia when that was filmed.(having had something similar god knows how he was feeling) That makes me respect and love him more. My god can't people leave him alone, he can't fight back, we all know about Gary, I'll bet nothing was mentioned about Mary Ure, whom he also loved. I haven't seen this and can do without these nut jobs. It's poor Linda and David we must feel for, ho will they be feeling. I love your journal by the way. You cheered me up, having 'one of my turns' this week. Can't find your profile but would feel honored if you would 'friend' me.

YOU take care, I ope to hear from you soon ,
We must all keep his memory alive. Oh that reminds me when we met up last month at the hotel there was no photo of him along with the actors who have played Mr Holmes. I wrote to them yesterday to complain!! Will post it on Thursday on my way to the doctors.

once again thank you,

He was terribly ill while filming the Dying Detective, you are correct. I must say that I agree with you that part of it wasn't acting. For much of the time he was also on oxygen and in a wheelchair during the filming of the Memoirs. He collapsed on the set several times, and was gravely ill during the filming of 'The Three Gables'. It was Linda who was finally able to coax him into going to the hospital where they told him he had pneumonia. Also, the lithium he was taking for his Bi-Polar disorder caused terrible water retention (not to mention heart damage), which only worsened the situation. We all know that smoking didn't help, BUT, it was his already damaged heart and his medications that really led to his deteriorating health. He was basically poisoned from incorrect dosages being prescribed to him by his Doctor(s

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

Thank you for our chat over this subject tonight. I agree with you completely. Jeremy loved his animals, and horses. And yes he is a brilliant actor and a wonderful human being.
