SHERLOCK HOLMES (1984-1994) ♦︎ 40th Anniversary ♦︎
“To me, the Sherlock Holmes stories are about a great friendship. The two men are interdependent; without Watson, Holmes might well have burnt out on cocaine long ago. And Watson leads a pretty dull life, enlivened only by his adventures with Holmes. I hope the series shows how important friendship is.” – Jeremy Brett
On this day in 1984, 40 years ago, Granada premiered a much anticipated new series: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, on the ITV network. Starring Jeremy Brett and David Burke.
So I kinda got my mom into Granada Holmes. I am not a native speaker and neither is she, in fact she can't really understand it. But I don't mind translating and she has read the original stories and she's rereading them now, might mention it is at least partially because of my recently sparked Sherlock Holmes obsession. Today, I deciced to watch The Final Problem and The Empty House with her. And out of the blue she says to me. "What if Watson had jumped into the falls because of the grief? It would have been like Romeo and Juliet." Now it was a joke, but my mom never seemed to ship Johnlock, so this caught me a little off guard. My mind is racing right now and my question is,
Have I just turned my mom into a Johnlock shipper?😅
