Synopsis

For many viewers, Jeremy Brett became the definitive Sherlock Holmes through the Granada series made for the Independent Television Network, a role that brought him international recognition. This book looks beyond that landmark casting to consider a career that had already taken in thirty years of work across theatre, film and television, and the way his success came to define his public reputation.

With a foreword by David Burke, who appeared as Dr John H. Watson alongside Brett in the series, the volume offers a wide-ranging review of performances and productions. It is illustrated with hundreds of rarely seen and some exclusive photographs, reproduced with permission from the Brett family, Granada Studios and others.
