“It is quite a three pipe problem” - me at work during any inconvenience

Jeremy Brett is and always will be the physical embodiment of Sherlock Holmes.

Mr Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes will never be equalled . The definitive Holmes .

Jeremy Brett modeled his Sherlock Holmes on the Sidney Paget illustrations from the books.Therefore he is seen smoking mostly Church Wardens and Dublins.Then in the Holmes movies of the early - mid 20th century he was seen smoking the Calabash style pipes he is associated with .The curve of the stem allowed the actor ( Basil Rathbone and others) to speak while smoking and still have his face open to view.

Sherlock Holmes is what attracted me to pipe smoking ever since I was a kid, and Jeremy Brett is and always will be my favorite Holmes.

The great Jeremy Brett, a top class Sherlock Holms and ...a lovely episode about...the three pipe problem 😊😊😊😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

the last scene is awesome...two of the most famous characters in literature, a lighthearted moment between only the viewer and Holmes, and a pipe.

Those days were so classy!

I like the fact he's using all kinds of pipes instead of just one, I understand the reason for the one used in the stage plays which became the iconic one, but the books show he has quite an array of pipes..the long one where he says "to smoke" seems like a churchwarden pipe..which one of the books mentions him replacing an old pipe of his with a "long cherry wood pipe"..that seems like the one mentioned.

Pipe smoking makes him look so chill

Jeremy Brett most closely resembles the Sherlock Holmes described in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novels. I can hardly watch any other actor portray him!

Everyone heaps praise on Jeremy Brett as Holmes, and quite right too but David Burke is peerless as Watson. You can really believe that he and Holmes are best friends that live together.

The old Holmes series are awesome. Thanks for posting.

The infamous clay pipe...

That third scene with the Calabash makes reference to theatre productions of Sherlock Holmes. In none of the original books is a Calabash mentioned nor is one depicted in any of the original illustrations.

Don't you just love that smile at the end of the video? :-)

3 pipe Problem!

The Greek Interpreter, The Final Problem, The Resident Patient, The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, all of them classics.

When I'm old, I'll act like this.

Cool man . Quarismatic.

At 2:05 note the "Persian slipper " hanging from mantelpiece where he stored his tobacco.

Nice he has clays , briars and a calabash gourd meerschaum

1:36-The Calabash!

haha he gives a look after he compliments watson like u wish!

love this :) thanks !

Holmes' pipe here in the second scene is closer to what he smoked in the books. A simple clay pipe. For all of his intelligence and fashionable dress, Holmes was at heart a simple man with simple pleasures (his cocaine habit non withstanding). The huge calabash pipes you see him with in drawings and certain adaptations (such as here) was possibly brought about by stage actor William Gillette, who used one during his stage plays so the smoke wouldn't obscure his face or vision. That might be apocryphal, true, but still, the classic deerstalker hat and calabash pipe are so integral to the character, that seeing him here with a literature accurate clay pipe (note the small nipple at the bottom of the bowl, which was common on clays) is quite odd.

He's not gay; He's British! hahah Their performance is most enjoyable!

Pompous Windbag APPROVED!

thsnks

@ThomasAWilliam You're welcome. The series is indeed worth watching.

Indeed..!

I love Jeremy Britt

Love the churchwarden but there calabash it's most memorable

I got it. That's Lancealot from Excalibur.

I should get myself that tiny churchwarden

I like his churchwardens

I like this show, watch it on netflix, I think the long pipe is cool only other place i see it is Lord of the Rings

Makes me want to switch to clay pipes :)

この着火はピカイチだな

Sherlock Holmes looks his best when smoking~

What show is this?

What's the pipe on 0:16 ?? Thanks

ホームズって葉巻吸うシーンってないよね？ 論文書けるくらい好きなんでしょ？

Watsons tolerance was not so high that’s why he fell asleep , there’s lots of plant matter to try

Do people really talk like that during that period?

What is this? Is it a movie or a series?

Oh a calabash in the wilderness that's inpractical...

What pipe is he smoking in the beginning? And the one at 0:55?

どうやってマッチ着火してるのかめちゃくちゃ気になる

2:20 the fact that he didn't clean his pipe after enjoy it bugs me

Just bought a pipe to smoke weed with wanted to see how he emptied it

"singular" is used in about every other holmes story; superb clip. My dislike of jeremy brett as holmes has waned, in some of these he is quite good.

Spinach in your pipe

This definitely has an homoerotic campiness to it while being dually subjected to heavy product placement for the tobacco industry.

I love when he's doing heroin and coke n' stuff :D
