More Holmes dreams, what the heck?

elabyI really am starting to wonder about my luck having all these Holmes dreams XD This one was plottier, such as it is, and somewhat less cuddlefluffy than the other two, but equally delightful in its own way.
So this is the third dream I've had in which I discovered a Sherlock Holmes movie that I didn't know existed. The other two were Russian Holmes movies, but this one was a Granada Holmes movie - interesting because I actually haven't seen all of the Brett-Hardwicke movies. Anyway, in the dream I was under the impression that this was either one of the movies I haven't seen yet or one I didn't even know existed. Most likely the latter, because it featured Lestrade prominently, and while I've read that they expanded his role in The Master Blackmailer, I doubt it was this prominent.
Unfortunately I remember very little of it, but it was certainly Jeremy Brett and Colin Jeavons circa first/second season (side note: weirdly, my Holmes dreams so far all feature particular actors, not the Holmes and Watson in my head). Holmes and Lestrade were working on a case together, something that was personal to Lestrade, and they were about to send him out to be a decoy or bait for a trap or some kind of thing where he had to go into the midst of the bad guys. Whatever these people had done, the memory of it it was distressing him, and the ruse was going to be extremely dangerous as well. It was dark, and they were hiding in an alley, and I think Lestrade was about to go out onto the street to get into a carriage with the bad people. He put his hand on Holmes's arm, and Holmes covered Lestrade's hand with his and squeezed it, and that was all.
That's all I needed it to be, really. *happy little hand-touching reverie*

Also: have you not seen The Master Blackmailer? Oh, my dear Elaby, you really must. It is SO deliciously slashy-- and this in spite of the fact that they forced poor Holmes to... well, I don't want to give things away, but Agatha's in it, is the most I'm going to say. But also delicious overall; Edward Hardwicke at his stoical-but-caring best. And their Milverton is wonderfully slimy... There certainly is NOT much Lestrade in it, alas, but he's there, anyhow.
I haven't seen The Last Vampyre yet. Have you? And, if so, is it worth it?

Date: 2009-05-09 11:40 pm (UTC)I was wicked happy that they "went there," so to speak, with Colonel Dorking. There's so much subtext and it was such an issue at the time, though nobody talked about it, that I'm glad they did, and I don't usually expect TV shows to even nowadays.

I have to say, I love the fact that even in your dreams the slash is still rather ambiguous XD
