Natalie Haynes's guide to TV detectives: #9 – Sherlock Holmes

14 May 2012 5:18 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

You can keep your Cumberbatch and Rathbone. Of the 75-odd actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on screen, Jeremy Brett is the man

You can keep Basil Rathbone, fond as I am of him. You can keep Robert Downey, Jr, Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Cushing. You can even keep Michael Caine in Without A Clue (my secret favourite portrayal of Sherlock Holmes on the big screen). You know why you can keep them? Because, in exchange, I get Jeremy Brett, the Sherlock for the connoisseurs.

Jeremy Brett is the Sherlock Holmes of my childhood, and perhaps (as with the Doctor or James Bond) we simply attach ourselves to the first one we see. But I don't think so. In the ITV series which began in 1984, and ran until a year before Brett's early death in 1995, Sherlock Holmes was as close to his literary roots as he has ever been on screen. »
