A must-have for any fan of Sherlock Holmes, Jeremy Brett, or the Granada series, 18 April 2010
By Izabella Balakirsky "constant reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Television Sherlock Holmes (Paperback)
I have bought this book because a friend recommended it to me (she knows I like Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories as well as the Granada TV series with Jeremy Brett). I have rarely enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed this one...and for me, that is saying a lot.
It is a wonderful oversized book which includes not only many on the set and behind the scenes photographs of the Granada series in the making (the one which particularly amused me was the photo titled "How Holmes and Watson are _really_ taken for a ride"). But the book contains much more than that--it also contains fascinating insight into the Granada series, including interviews with David Burke, Edward Hardwicke, and Jeremy Brett, and others involved in the making of the series.
Additionally, the book offers many photos and intriguing bits of information about other actors who played Sherlock Holmes and about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself. Truly a marvelous read, from any perspective; well worth the price.
If you are curious about the difference between the 1986 (hardcover) and the 1994 (paperback) edition--the 1994 edition includes these additional materials:
1. A new foreword from Jeremy Brett, dated 1993
2. A lengthy new introduction by Peter Haining
3. A brief new afterword by Michael Cox
4. The episode-by-episode listing goes through the end of the series
So, overall, perhaps 5-10% new material compared with the 1986 edition
P.S. Please take a look at this, if you enjoyed the Granada series: please consider the supporting the petition currently underway for Jeremy Brett (playing Sherlock Holmes in this series) to be given a posthumous BAFTA (UK version of Oscar and Emmy combined). Look for "posthumous BAFTA for Jeremy Brett" on Google or Facebook.
