RIP. I very much enjoyed his work as Watson.

He was a terrific Watson.

That's sad. I loved him as Watson in the "Sherlock Holmes" with the late, magnificent Jeremy Brett as Sherlock. We just finished a run through the series, most of which my wife and I saw first-run.

One of our local PBS stations has been running this particular Sherlock Holmes series, and I have enjoyed by his, and Jeremy Brett's performances as Holmes and Watson. they played off each other very well.

Ugh, finding out about two celebrity deaths involving people I followed when I was younger. Terrible news, he was a fantastic non-bumbling Watson. RIP.

He was a great Watson. I guess I'm in the minority, but I HATED Nigel Bruce's Watson. His portrayal was NOTHING like the stories. Watson was NOT a boob.
