Very sorry to hear that David Burke has passed away. Playing opposite the definitive Sherlock Holmes of Jeremy Brett, Burke helped redefine Dr. Watson away from the bungling-oaf caricature the character had previously become. His successor in the role, Edward Hardwicke, continued that trajectory beautifully.
Away from Baker Street, I also very much enjoyed Burke’s performance as the elderly butler Patten in A View from a Hill.
R.I.P.
Day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar: "The Secret of the Florida Man", a fake Sherlock Holmes Nokia game staring Jeremy Brett! Done for Nokia Art Jam 2.

A Master. You'll live forever, Jeremy Brett!
A chum reminded me that today would have been the birthday of the late Jeremy Brett. Brett, for my money, is still *the* finest screen incarnation of Sherlock Holmes.
Yes, I love the Rathbone films, but the Granada productions with Brett are just on another level and far truer to the spirit of the original stories.
Here in Edinburgh, local lad Conan Doyle has the greatest honour a Scotsman can have - a pub named after him!

Jeremy Brett was the quintessential Holmes, living and breathing the part in ways that haven't been done before or since. Brett didn't just play Sherlock Holmes. He WAS Sherlock Holmes.
My submission for the Nokia Art Jam 2 on itch!
It is a "lost" Nokia 3410 game based on Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes. I imagine it would have been a silly text adventure that takes him and Dr. Watson to the mysterious land of... Florida.
