i love poirot, david suchet, detail, whichis what i love
As one who is in touch with many leading American Sherlockians, I can attest that Burke is the most highly regarded Watson of all time by them.
I recommend watching the scene from "The Greek Interpreter" where Holmes and his brother Mycroft are trading deductions about a man they see from the window at the Diogenes Club. Burke/Watson is silent during the exchange but his facial expressions are spectacularly done.
@LamontCranston Exactly. Needly put actually. Burke brought a lot in it like Brett did too.
Jeremy Brett will always be my favorite Sherlock Holmes. And David Burke was perfect as Dr.Watson.
R.I.P. both actors.
@bijouxbroussard

Brett for sure but I only saw Sir Cedric Hardwicke's son Edward as Watson and he was excellent.
@rinkydinkydoink He took over when David Burke choose to follow his wife in returning to Shakespearian theater and thus having also more time for his young son Tom. He's a fine actor now too by the way. Was in Black Bag only last year. Plus Edward Harwicke was the actor who Burke suggested to replace him in the series. They were both excellent in the role.
@GeretJan

An excellent, informative return comment. Thank you for that!

They were a very good double-act. Not such a "Long time ago" for some of us! 🤣
@ArtieKat You fellow-traveler :-) I'm afraid that it's all too long ago for the youngsters.
