Re: Jeremy Brett Picture Thread
Jeremy was such a dashingly beautiful babe! Here are two gifs from My Fair Lady. He is looks absolutely edible in them:

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Jeremy Brett Picture Thread
Crikey! So I would expect! What a mess! Are you sure he's not just writing loads of slash fan fiction?

Oh, he wanted to find his most favourite fanfiction and had to destroy the room for the sake of it. But it was worth it!

Here is Lestrade congratulating Holmes at the end of The Six Napoleons. A really touching moment.

Re: Jeremy Brett Picture Thread
Here is a great scene from The Greek Interpreter, where Watson (and us the audience) are introduced to Mycroft. Charles Gray's Mycroft was my favorite version of the character until Mark Gatiss came along.

Re: Jeremy Brett Picture Thread
Both scenes are my favourite.
Thank you so much for this.

Re: Jeremy Brett Picture Thread
I’m glad you have been enjoying my pictures and videos. I love that introduction scene. Which leads me to this scene from The Musgrave Ritual. It is a classic moment where we get to see what Sherlock Holmes is like when he has gotten really high. It’s a complete hoot.

Re: Jeremy Brett Picture Thread
As one of those who still hasn't caught up on much of the wonderfully seeming Brett, those are great.

Re: Jeremy Brett Picture Thread
Thank you for the wonderful video, BrettHolmes. Everytime Jeremy laughs in that scene, it makes me laugh heartily too - he was cheekily wonderful in there.

It warms my heart to see such mutual understanding and good-will between both of our heroes:
