Reccer's Comments: I feel so lucky that there are so many wonderful Granada vids out there -- it's a tribute to how well the series has aged and how much it is still loved by Holmes fans. This vid is a favorite of mine, with well-chosen edits that highlight the inescapable melancholy of Brett's Holmes before showing the way his darker moments are transformed into energy, warmth, and joy in Watson's presence. It shows how Holmes helps Watson heal from the disappointments and loneliness of his life as well. A lovely tribute to their friendship and to the actors who created this wonderful series.

That was surprisingly moving. I haven't watched the Granada series since it first aired, a situation I shall be rectifying immediately.

Oh, yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed this, and I hope you'll enjoy rewatching some of the episodes, too :) I think they're lovely. (My favorites are "Norwood Builder" and "Second Stain," but there are so many good ones.)

Hello I am adding this information for today's Holmesian News. However, I have a question; what rating would you give the vid?

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Hmm, what an interesting question. I'm really tempted to say G, since there is no gore or dead bodies or anything like that. There is one shot of a syringe, though, which counts as an indirect reference to drug use. So to err on the safe side, I guess PG.

Thank you, for replying quickly. Then PG it is.
