Violet Hunter replied to Kayden (Kay) Medcalf's discussion Going criminal for the famous detective"When Holmes makes a remark like " I had rather play tricks with the law of England than with my own conscience" (Abbey Grange), I identify with him. I too feel that my primary loyalty has to be to my own sense of right and wrong, not…"
Violet Hunter replied to Joe Riggs's discussion The “Elementary” Problem..."Lucy Liu is starting to work as Watson, but she seems depressed. In BBC's Sherlock, Martin Freeman's Watson was depressed in theory, because of his PTSD, but in the episodes he was animated and energetic -- and while he was dashing around…"
Violet Hunter replied to Joe Riggs's discussion The “Elementary” Problem..."Good review. I agree with you about the blandness and the hope that when Miller's Holmes settles in, he could be more interesting and more Holmes-like. The sex definitely seemed gratuitous and didn't go with the character of Holmes. The…"
Violet Hunter replied to Joe Riggs's discussion The “Elementary” Problem..."Instead of deriving Elementary from the canon, so that it could stand alone as a new take on the characters & stories, it appears to be derived directly from BBC's Sherlock. The rundown apartment building is in NY instead of London, but…"
Violet Hunter commented on The Three Patch Problem's group BBC's Sherlock"Yes, I see your point -- which is probably why I prefer the turn-of-the-century version of Holmes. I enjoy "Sherlock," but to me it's one step removed from the "original" Holmes. You can take Sherlock…"
Violet Hunter replied to Nick Kitt's discussion HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BASIL RATHBONE"I'm not in your area, but would love to see the websites if you want to share the domain names. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested."
Violet Hunter replied to Nick Kitt's discussion HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BASIL RATHBONE"Thanks Larry. My issue with Nick is that he doesn't know how to disagree without being disagreeable -- a useful skill if you're going to interact with other people.
Great cartoon -- where did you find it?"
Violet Hunter replied to Nick Kitt's discussion HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BASIL RATHBONE"I totally agree, Larry. I too prefer "... the loyal admirer and friend to the silly dufus Watson." My only point was, how did Doyle himself see Watson? There's an interview with Doyle on You Tube (look under "Arthur Conan Doyle…"
Violet Hunter commented on Arushi's group Scotland Yard~ Lestrade"Jeavons plays the role with a twinkle -- you want to keep your eyes on him to see every reaction written on his face, especially the petty ones where he's boastful, sheepish, puzzled, angry, all within the space of two or three…"
Violet Hunter joined Arushi's group
Scotland Yard~ Lestrade
This is a group dedicated to the amusing character Lestrade and all the actors who played his role...like Collin Jeavons :) in the Granada series...All those interested in discussing all the incidents when he was BLOWN away by Holmes are welcome!!See More
Violet Hunter replied to Nick Kitt's discussion HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BASIL RATHBONE"You don't intimidate me, dear, and I'm certainly glad that you have one friend.
That "... inane quote about violence," was by Sherlock Holmes in Speckled Band."
Violet Hunter replied to Nick Kitt's discussion HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BASIL RATHBONE"I'm afraid, Nikita -- oh sorry, I meant mister Kitty -- that you are beginning to bore me. I'm wondering why you haunt these websites; to prove you are superior? How's that working for you?
I suspect a Napoleon…"

Newbie said… I chose to close my youtube channel. Copyright owners are aware of my uploads, I was contacted & actually given permission to keep them lol, but this only applies to most not all my videos. They didn't remove any or ask me to, they allowed me to keep them :O)
I will PM you my email where I can help you get some of the more rare Jeremy performances xx
