"During our 10 year association, I was privileged to get to know Jeremy
very well. We became great friends. We both believed that the
friendship between Holmes and Watson must be rooted in humour. In
reality, Jeremy made sure there was always laughter when we were
working. In spite of the enormous strain his illness placed on him he
never lost his sense of joy. He had a wonderful laugh. It was
infectious. The enormous list of actors and technicians who worked on
the series will tell you that they never had a happier job. That was
Jeremy. This, of course, was the background to a great actor giving a
great performance. I shall miss him." - speaking of working with Jeremy
Brett on the Sherlock Holmes series.
