Sherlock Holmes is one of the most played roles in history. Dozens of actors have done the role, some better than others. Mr. Brett not only captures the intensity of the character, but he looks very much like the mental picture one gets when reading the canon. I wish he could have finished all the stories, especially 'A Study in Scarlet', which has the classic beginning where he first meets Watson. That would have suited him completely and given this particular series a bit of background. A wonderfully precise actor, and we all miss him dearly. A tragic loss for television and audiences everywhere.
