Granada Holmes - Blog Posts
so, I made a guide for the order of the granada sherlock holmes series [1984-1994] (mostly for my own benefit, but felt like sharing for anyone else as confused as I was before I made this, so here we are)
the adventures of sherlock holmes [1984-1985] (13eps)
s1 (1-7/7eps) [1984]
s2 (8-13/6eps) [1985]
the return of sherlock holmes [1986-1988] (13eps + the 2 movies)
s3 (14-20/8eps) [1986]
s4x1/ep21 - the sign of four [1987]
s4 (22-25/5eps) [1988]
s4x6/ep26 - the hound of baskervilles [1988]
the case-book of sherlock holmes [1991-1993] (6eps + the 3 movies)
s5 (27-32/6eps)
s6x1/ep33 - the master blackmailer [1992]
s6x2/ep34 - the last vampyre [1993]
s6x3/ep35 - the eligible bachelor [1993]
the memoirs of sherlock holmes [1994] (6eps)
s7 (36-41/6eps) [1994]
it goes per the show titles, the movies are placed when they came out within the shows. since there are 41 episodes in total I wanted to know how many there are per season so that's what I did with the addition of which episode numbers they are all together. if that makes any sense (it does to me at least)
feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes. I took most of the info from imdb and wikipedia.
I might add all the individual ep names later on but can't promise that yet. we'll see where my hyperfixating takes me next. anyways, this is done now sooo... bye, see ya :]
Jeremy Brett was easily the best Holmes
I had to download the episode and cut out this scene because I need this clip from Granadas The Speckled Band. It's the scene that made me fall in love with Jeremy Brett. <3
The laugh! The smile! This man was such a treasure. <3 <3 <3
Watch "► 1895 lives" on YouTube
This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen in my life and I'm not joking!
I just pledged; there’s also a Kickstarter for new traditional style Sherlock Holmes stories from MX Books.
Attention Jeremy Brett fans!
There’s a new Kickstarter campaign for a reprint of Sherlock Holmes Magazine #2 – the Jeremy Brett edition
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Granada TV Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock Holmes Magazine hopes to publish a new, updated version of the Jeremy Brett special, which has long been out of print.
Please consider backing the campaign if you’re able and share widely! Click the link for more info (Kickstarter link) (SH magazine link)
For fellow Granada Holmes fans:
Holmes not giving a single damn about where he’ll have to go or how far he’ll have to run, because as long as Watson is there with him it’ll be home to him.
And Watson agreeing to leave everything behind and follow Holmes wherever, for however long, to the ends of the earth if must be, without even a second’s hesitation.
I’ll never not be crying over this scene.
🎶ANY THING BUT LOVERS🎶
History hates lovers~
Haiii
rip sherlock holmes the original 365 party girl... you would have loved brat although I think you would get overstimulated in a modern gay bar
Oh well

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket
In 2020 my husband and I got really into the 1984 Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. In The Musgrave Ritual, the fourth episode of the second season, Holmes spends a lot of time swanning around being cranky wrapped in a crochet blanket. I had: lots of online classes and zoom calls, lots of pent up anxiety and energy, a wrist injury that flared up during everything except crocheting for some reason, and a Holmes-loving husband who was just as obsessed with this iconic blanket as I was. So I made this!
If you'd like to make one too, read on. I wrote the pattern two different ways; both are in the reblogs. There's a quick and dirty version where I assume you know the basics of crochet and throw some details at you and it's pattern chaos. And there's a nice, neat, detailed pattern with more specific instructions. Caveat for both: I'm a long-time "figure-it-outer" when it comes to fiber craft and I've made up tons of projects but I am new to writing a pattern for someone else to interpret. So good luck in there. And let me know if you have questions!

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket: Detailed Pattern
I got excited about getting to yap about Sherlock & Co., Granada Holmes and the Sherlock Holmes theatre play I saw recently in my dream today🥸🦫
I also mentioned a different play that I was excited to see it seems?? I talked about how it's "a mix of Sherlock & Co. and Granada Holmes and it's so awesome" (I'm not seeing any Holmes plays anytime soon though and as far as I'm aware, I don't think that play actually exists😔)
The best (or worst) movie adaptations of book scenes? (Sherlock Holmes, etc, anything) (hw help)
Hello everyone, I am having to prepare to write a speech for my literature class concerning the quality of movie adaptations of novels. So I wanted to ask: Do you guys have any adapted scenes that you found remarkable in some way? Preferably a good one, but bad examples are welcome too of course🫡
Maybe a scene from Arthur Conan Doyle‘s canon that often gets left out but you find important? Or a scene that you thought a certain adaptation absolutely nailed or really just butchered? I am specifically referring to specific scenes here and *not* to overall series’ or movies. Please do tell me about what you find remarkable in relation to the original novels, I would really appreciate any help with this as I’d started to look for examples a bit late so I only have today and tomorrow to gather them🧍♂️
This doesn’t have to concern Sherlock Holmes, it can also be about Harry Potter, etc., anything really, I just used that as an example since I plan on using Holmes as a reference/example for my thesis anyway.
Fast replies would be much appreciated, as I don’t really have any idea where to even start right now :,)
(Damn, just hating Benekind Cucumberbadatch like that😔/gen (based on their tags)) But here are some others I know about: Sherlock Holmes (the 2 movies with RDJ from 2009 or so), Enola Holmes (1&2 so far), Elementary, Granada Holmes (actually just called The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes [from 1984] if I remember correctly), Young Sherlock Holmes is also a movie (from 1985), Moriarty the Patriot would be an anime with more of a focus on Moriarty (from what I've seen, at least, I'm not through yet), Sherlock Hound (it might also actually be called something like the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but it's an anime that's described by most as "Studio Ghibli-ish"), Sherlock & Co. (If you wouldn't mind trying an audiobook/podcast, it's really good)
Yeah those are the TV ones I'm aware of so far, personally wouldn't necessarily recommend all of them, but NONE of them are unlikable or anything at all, it just depends on what kind of media you prefer :]
If you're also looking for games somewhen I can recommend the Frogwares ones! Especially Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One; but some others that they made are: Devil's Daughter, Crimes and Punishments, The Awakened and some more
(Also one more book series I've been reading is Young Sherlock Holmes [it's different from the movie])
[I'll also correct this post if I notice any errors]
I'm slowly reading the sherlock holmes books and I'm really enjoying them. I would like to watch some adaptations, but I don't really know many. so, mighty tumblr sherlock holmes fandom, what do yall reccomend
Random, fast and scruffy Holmes.
"It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."
Happy Johnlock Day!!!
I know Valentine's isn't here yet, but I wanted to make a drawing for it anyway. So, Happy (very early) Valentine's Day!
I finished my Granada Holmes/Johnlock Valentine's Day drawing!! I hope you enjoy!! 💛💛
Holmes got his beloved poisonous flowers and Watson received some sweets. I love them.
The cafe is a cafe I use in my comics. It's called "Witches Cap - Cafe and Roast". Like I said in my last post, I always enjoy putting characters in it. [:
(Sorry for the wonky lines.)
(Edit: everyone is saying such sweet things, thank you lot so much!! 💛😭)
W.I.P. drawing of Granada Holmes/Johnlock fanart! Don't mind my handwriting and odd colour choices at the moment. I just wanted to get some ideas down. That will definitely not be the final colour palette. I love these two so much, so I wanted to make an early Valentine's Day-themed drawing. They are at a cafe that is in one of my comics. I always love putting many different characters in it. Anyway, enjoy the W.I.P.!! 💛💛
(Sorry for the shit quality. Also, John got sweets for Valentine's Day and Sherlock got a vase of poisonous flowers.)
(I am currently drawing this half asleep, so I am sorry for the shit and wobbly lineart. [': )
Happy Birthday, Jeremy Brett!
Who was...

Happy Granadaversary!
Forty-one years ago today, the Granada adaptation of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes began with A Scandal In Bohemia, and a legend was born.
You do NOT want to miss this!! The Secret of Sherlock Holmes
Podcast going *in depth* on the Jeremy Brett / Edward Hardwicke stage play!!! 🎉
They've cleaned up the audio you may have heard before (on YouTube )
They describe the visuals that have been lost to time from crew interviews
They've included snippets of the crew telling backstage stories!
It was practically like being there!!
I know because I was lucky enough to actually see the play.
Part II is just commentary and is linked from this one
UPDATE: @ninasnakie asked if this was AI. I'm not sure if that means the whole play, but the the short answer is that if it was faked, it would have had better sound.
The recordings of the play (the best of which is on YouTube) were made by fans who snuck in their tape recorders, and the sound quality is pretty terrible.
So the podcaster (a reputable pro with a fantastic podcast - The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast) used multiple copies to combine and cleaned it up manually and mentions in the second part that he did use AI to help clean it up, so you can make out what they're saying, and they have a really good discussion about that.
They didn't include all of the play audio, just key / most scenes and used crew interviews and descriptions / summaries in between. Even some of the key scenes are extremely difficult to hear even at maximum volume. I'm sure that a lot was completely useless.
I hope this helps!
Romancing the Text: Jeremy Brett, Paper, and Sherlock Holmes
It’s late, this week is still terrible, and I’ve got some time to consider a question that has been much on my mind of late: why is it that I love watching Jeremy Brett handle paper? I’m taking it up now partly because it was always my intention, after finishing the rewatch, to write up a post about why Jeremy Brett was the definitive 20th century Sherlock Holmes. But every time I start such a post, I think, oh what’s the point, it’s all already been said, by myself even, and anyway there’s too much. I’ve formulated a hypothesis, though, which is that if I can explain why Brett’s interaction with paper is so important to my enjoyment of this show, I will probably in the process be demonstrating what it was that made his Sherlock Holmes so unique and indelible. So follow me, friends, while I unfold my crackpot theories about the romance of the material text and how it binds us to the Master Paper-Handler.
