I loved Jeremy Brett.![]()

"I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust." ~ 'A Modest Proposal' ~ Jonathan Swift
I still haven't seen a single full episode of the Sherlock Holmes series he starred in, but I loved Brett's performances in An Ideal Husband, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Rebecca. I prefer his performance as Maxim de Winter to Olivier's.

Will there be a Eurovision Song Contest in the year 2111?

Try to see the first series; the second (with a visibly older Holmes and another actor playing Watson) isn't so good. And sadly Brett's health problems are all too obvious. But in that first series, the astonishing voice, the razor-sharp face and his perfect portrayal are just![]()
Of course he said himself that becoming obsessed with the character was what pushed him into manic depression.
I agree with you about Maxim de Winter and Olivier.

Of course!
The Eurovision Song Contest: yay or nay?
Yay, though it's more a matter of me being glad that it exists than anything else, apart from your ToToToT entries about it, which are educational and always welcome.

- "Have you ever bought a statue of a pissing cupid?"
- "Who is this hitchhiker on the road of life?"
- "How can the Count’s arrival and his plea for a hasty marriage have any vibrations?"
- "Were these 435 prints processed in a sewer?"
- "How can the novelist have pain in his bowels when Providence has no bowels?"
- purple Might "_________________________" have been included in this list of choice quotations?
- purple I take Renata Adler's side on this one. Sorry.
