So perhaps I might get those sometime too. It's great to have these boxed sets, they're brilliant for the nights when there's nothing worth watching on TV. Which is most of the time actually...Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-64890358949527934042007-12-20T17:05:00.000+00:002007-12-20T17:05:00.000+00:00I agree that Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes ever....I agree that Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes ever. ITV3 seem to go in a circle with this series. They repeat them endlessly - not that I am complaining mind you as I have been using that as an excuse not to buy the box set, but I am weakening. Recently I have acquired the entire Sharpe series, all Miss Marple (NOT the new dreadful series but the old BBC one) and the Pallisers. I feel Holmes and the complete Hercule Poirot coming on as well...Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408101165520113965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-83748865384552877422007-12-20T08:15:00.000+00:002007-12-20T08:15:00.000+00:00I'm planning to have a lot of fun with my reading ...I'm planning to have a lot of fun with my reading next year, Nan. And part of that fun for me is blogging and reading other people's blogs. Of course it doesn't help the tbr pile but there are worse addictions to have, in my opinion. :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-30607737713777017502007-12-19T18:48:00.000+00:002007-12-19T18:48:00.000+00:00What absolute fun in reading and viewing.

I bought it when we visited the Sherlock Holmes museum in Baker Street a couple of years ago. The trouble is, it's too big to read! So I borrowed The Adventures of SH from the library. I'll have to leave the Complete SH to my grandchildren as an heirloom or something. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Oh... I understand about the Picador books now. Hmm. Oh well, I can just buy those four. :-)<BR/><BR/>Eloise: Jeremy Brett is certainly my favourite Holmes but I don't mind others in the role. Although some of the more obscure actors tend to make a bit of a hash of it, imo.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-16932956022436460052007-12-18T20:41:00.000+00:002007-12-18T20:41:00.000+00:00I love Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes; he is the ...I love Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes; he is the only actor I can stand to watch as Holmes, no one else comes anywhere near him. I have the box set too and every time I watch one I end up reading the short story to see how much is from the original - they are usually very faithful.Eloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05731468718780366957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-64907710161802199952007-12-18T13:36:00.000+00:002007-12-18T13:36:00.000+00:00Glad to hear you enjoyed the Holmes book you have....Glad to hear you enjoyed the Holmes book you have. I purchased (and sometimes because they are by mail I cringe when they arrive because of the size of the print) The Complete Sherlock Holmes..1122 pages! so.. that will take a bit once I do begin.. not sure when that will be yet.<BR/><BR/>I do like the mary russell books you are collecting.. they are put out by a publishing company called Picador. Unfortunately they only have 4 of the Mary Russell books out, so collecting that particular set could take years!DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.com
