Pat Ellison from Mars on The Love Boat: "I really fancied the pants off the captain.. I loved his shiny head and come to bed eyes...."
Victoria from uk on Brush Strokes: "great comedy, wish i could find series 3 - 5 as I can't remember the ending."
Grey Meshle from Wisconsin on Sherlock Holmes: "I 'discovered' Sherlock Holmes when I was 14. He's captured my heart. He is such an inspiration to me; I love him with all my heart and always will. I am now 17, and just a year ago discovered the...nonparalel Jeremy Brett. He grabbed Holmes from the books, put him on, and portrayed him to the world in a beautiful way. And no, he did not 'despise' the character of Sherlock Holmes; only when he was suffering the depression from bipolar did he say things he himself said he didn't mean. Read 'Bending the Willow" by David Stuart Davies! Wonderful book! Here is a quote from Brett concerning Holmes:
I no longer feel threatened by Holmes, in fact I really enjoy playing him. Holmes is an upholder of the law, and he has a magnetism and mental genius that have been compulsive for people throughout the last hundred years. I was astounded when I realized how attractive he is to them (women). You'd never suspect it for one moment from the books. Girls long to seduce him. I do know that the team at Granada Studios are the finest. To everyone who has worked on these films of 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle' 's stories in the past decade, only one word can express how I feel: Bravo! Holmes has finally given me recognition as a real actor, not just an aging pretty face."
We miss you Jeremy! Long live your memory!"
Dave from West Midlands on Return of Sherlock Holmes: "Jeremy Brett was brilliant as Sherlock Holmes, he is sadly missed."
Sha from Sri Lanka on Mind Your Language: "I Loved the MYL when i was a kid.I brought the whole series recently. Sad that it had to be called off. It would have been great if they had continued. Love to see the crew on TV again. Hope we get to see them in an interveiw or some thing"
