"I abhor the dull routine of existence," laments Jeremy Brett as the quintessential Sherlock Holmes in A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA; his whole reason for Being is the solving of a Mystery and, when there are no Mysteries to be solved, he turns to... other distractions (the "seven percent solution"). "I am lost without my Boswel," he tells his loyal sidekick (and chronicler) Dr. John Watson (David Burke). A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA is certainly a memorable episode (from a memorable series, so that's saying a lot). Holmes not only falls for "the Woman," he's outfoxed by her, as well. Jeremy Brett will always BE Sherlock Holmes, as far as I'm concerned; no one else ever came close.
