Synopsis

With a foreword from David Burke, who played Dr John H. Watson alongside Jeremy Brett in Granada’s inaugural series, this book offers a wide-ranging review of Brett’s work across stage and screen. It traces a career that spanned three decades before the role of Sherlock Holmes brought him international recognition, and considers how that success came to define his public reputation.

Whittaker draws on years of research to assemble a detailed record of performances, supported by hundreds of rarely seen photographs reproduced with permission from the Brett family, Granada Studios and others. A substantial, image-rich reference for readers interested in British television and theatre history, and for admirers of Brett’s work.
