I am in a minority (perhaps of one) in disputing that Jeremy Brett is the definitive Holmes. I find his performance too uptight and severe, not as humane as the character I interpreted from the books.
I think the problem with future dramatisations is with actors trying to do Brett-as-Holmes, rather than going back to the stories and looking at some of the character traits he underplayed.
