Sherlock

Hi all,

Today I am going to write about the personality who doesn't need any introduction. I think you must have read or heard this name at least once in your life, the name is Sherlock Holmes ! The great detective, brainchild of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle residing at 221 B, Baker Street, London. His father published his first story in 1887 and after more than hundred years, he is still alive with his fans and followers.

I guess everybody will be saying we know about this and we have read about it. Recently I came across the British television series from 1984 "Sherlock Holmes" in which actor Jeremy Brett portrayed the legendary detective. And according to me he was very successful in that. I read several stories. Started from my childhood in Marathi and now the original ones on kindle. I think Jeremy Brett has done a marvelous job. He shows the intensity and intelligence of Holmes' character with great details. I would certainly recommend to watch the series which is very close to the narration of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Just one concern that Jeremy sometimes look old for the stories in the early age of Sherlock when he was around 30 years old. Oh one tip - some parts are available on youtube and you can find it on netflix also. Yup buying DVD is a great option too.

Another series I came across was Sherlock. It is kind of rebooting the series what they call with hollywood flicks. But this is a complete new series which takes place in the current London with the Sherlock living in 2010. Authors based their stories on the actual stories of Sherlock Holmes but made them modern. I liked Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock as his age matches with the Sherlock's age. This is a great series. I did not find it on youtute but still watch it. Yup and for UK ppl, it's going to return in the 2011 so you can watch it on BBC.

And for the fans of Robert Downy Jr. trailer of Sherlock Holmes 2.

 


So stay alert and watch your steps as Holmes follows you !!!
