- David Burke: He (Jeremy Brett) was a delightful man. He was a great perfectionist. I mean, he carried his book of Sherlock Holmes stories around with him, almost like a Bible. Not merely did he keep a very close eye on the dialogue remaining faithful, but also when we were actually filming, he would concern himself, in the nicest possible way, with making sure everybody was dressed properly and that action mirrored what it said in the book.
