Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

Playful conversation from "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes", put in a wonderful setting:







One of Arwel´s new tweets featured a bath... maybe we will have something similar in Series 4?

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?

Best line in ANY adaptation, hands down:

Awww!   Really cool!  Never heard of him having done such a play.

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

I was not aware of that ever happening, either! Very cool! I wonder who played his Watson.

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

Well, it turns out I've been watching the wrong Russian Sherlock Holmes adaptation, oh well!

The one I've been watching is the 2013 TV series, not the one from 1979 starring Vasily Livanov that everyone raves about. I didn't realise there were two Russian adaptations, wasn't paying attention  But this one is worth a look too.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2465266/

I just finished the second episode, and not sure if I'll continue with it or not. The character of Sherlock Holmes doesn't feel quite right to me (Watson is very good though) and it has a very Russian flavour, but the production values are quite high. I think the subtitles on the YouTube video are letting me down because I got a bit confused about what was going on sometimes. The ACD stories are quite loosely adapted which means it's hard to predict the plot!

Anyway, have some pics of Igor Petrenko as Holmes (left) and Andrei Panin as Watson (right)That's the character of Sholto in the middle.

And home in front of the fire in 221B
Their flat usually looks a lot shabbier than this in the series.


If anyone is interested in watching Episode 1, "Baker Street 221B", here it is.

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

But hang on, this is the same fireplace with the other Russian Holmes and Watson, isn't it? I'm confused

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

Whoever those "other" Russian Holmes and Watson are, I'm in love with that sweet, baby-faced Watson.  Almost as cute as our John.

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

Older Russian series. The hands of Sherlock and John. Awww....

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

Very good Elementary scene which subverts the usual "bomb-diffusing" cliche.
Much better than "off-switch" IMHO:

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

Ha ha!  I need to get round to watching Elementary.   I'm currently watching House - does that count as a Sherlock adaptation?  Probably not.

I think so too. There are many references to ACD in Dr. House, so it is an adaptation in a way.

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations

That sad violin really got me.  That scene in Holmes' room was so tender and sad. When Watson was playing the violin it was like he was gently caressing Holmes himself.  So sweet.
