JB will always be my favourite Holmes. I am able, quite easily, to watch other portrayals of the legendary character, but none of the others, as good as they are, have quite such a riveting effect.
JB's Holmes is funny, dark, impressive, magnetic, and I suppose, quite loveable too. He had a way of, as he often said, "becoming" the character. I suppose other actors before him - and after, have attempted to do it to a certain extent, but not in the same way.
JB had style and presence. Such was his presence, that his Holmes shall be with us forever!
