I had an idea that was what you meant, but wasn't sure enough to ingore it, and I don't mind discussing Poirot either.

I like the Jeremy Brett Sherlock better than the Basil Rathbone one, though when I was a kid I loved the Rathbone version. The Brett one grew on me. I think Brett came across better as a flawed individual, and as smart as Sherlock was, he certainly had flaws. There was too much of the hint of Rathbone's sword fights with Errol lurking in those backgrounds. As to Brett, most Americans, if they remember him for other things at all, will remember him from his much earlier musical performance in My Fair Lady.
