I'm quite a new Jeremy Brett fan...

[ville_rose]

I'm quite new to LiveJournal and also quite new to Jeremy Brett's work.  My father is a fan of his Sherlock Holmes and I have gained a liking for it.  A few nights ago I had the opportunity to watch him in "On Approval" with Penelope Keith.  I loved his part and found him very sweet and funny.  I own a copy of "My Fair Lady" and I'm ashamed to say

Welcome!

And btw, you are not alone--myself (and quite a few others, from what I'd heard) haven't realised that the actor playing Freddie and SH was the same one ;)

Do check out Mr Brett's other films and TV series--"Number 10" and "Rebecca" in particular, are remarkable.

Yes, I shall. I have seen him in "The Champions" in the "Desert Journey" story. I had seen that before I became a fan of his Sherlock Holmes, and it was a similar "dugh" moment to the "My Fair Lady" one.

All right :) Not seen these myself yet.

Myself I have owned a piece of sheet music for years from "My Fair Lady" and have read time and time again the name "Jeremy Brett" on the front cover. Only recently did I make some kind of connection :P

Haha. I guess we just don't notice things sometimes :)
