No doubt about it...Cumberbatch is wonderful as the new-age Sherlock...I liked even Robert Downey Jr in the recent movie versions.
But to me (and, I am sure, to many others) Jeremy Brett will always be the 'elementary' Sherlock Holmes INCARNATE. He was born to play Holmes.
Television in the 80s (Doordarshan) would have been half as good as it was but for this outstanding series by Granada TV (UK). Till date, it remains the best ever (and the most faithful) adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work.
(After watching this clip, I am now seized by the mad urge to buy the entire DVD set of this series).
