Remembering Joss Ackland

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
"a very smiling face, and a great heavy chin" [COPP]</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Actor <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joss_Ackland" target="_blank">Joss Ackland</a> has passed away. He was 95 years old.<br />
<br />
Sherlock Holmes fans may recognize him from a number of roles which we'll detail below — which would seem to parallel his stage career. In 2010, the Express credited him as appearing <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/182273/Motor-neurone-disease-made-Joss-Ackland-and-his-wife-live-life-to-the-full" target="_blank">in more plays than any other living actor</a>.<br />
<br />
Born in London in 1928, he was trained at the Central School of Speech and drama and made his debut in 1945 in "The Hasty Heart." His first film was the thriller <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042949?ref_=nmbio_mbio" style="font-style: italic;">Seven Days to Noon</a> (1950), but he was uncredited; he made his credited debut in a supporting role in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044656?ref_=nmbio_mbio"><i>Ghost Ship</i></a> (1952). Ackland spent the late 1940s through the first half of the 1950s in regional theatrical companies, where he worked on his craft.<br />
<br />
In 1955, he left the stage and managed a tea plantation in Africa for two years, where he also served as a disc jockey and wrote plays. In 1957, he returned to England and joined the Old Vic theatre company and managed the Mermaid Theatre from 1962-1964. At this time, he established his prominence on the stage with many performances in London's West End, including Captain Hook in "Peter Pan," Juan Peron in "Evita," and Falstaff in "Henry IV Parts 1 and 2."<br />
<br />
During that time, he also began a run as a memorable character actor in films and television. He had roles in widely distributed films with great box office success such as <i>The Hunt for Red October</i>, <i>Lethal Weapon 2</i> ("<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOBXH-5QrGU" target="_blank">Diplomatic immunity!</a>") and <i>The Mighty Ducks</i>.<br />
<br />
He made his first Sherlock Holmes-connected appearance as The Hon. Philip Green in "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax" opposite Douglas Wilmer in the BBC's <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0163492/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_179" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes</a></i>.<br />
<br />
He also played the president in John Cleese’s disastrous parody, <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strange_Case_of_the_End_of_Civilization_as_We_Know_It" target="_blank">The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It</a></i>, in which Cleese played the grandson of Sherlock Holmes. In "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0687038/?ref_=ttep_ep13" target="_blank">The Mystery of the Amber Beads</a>," an episode of the BBC series <i>The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes</i>, based on the anthologies edited by Hugh Greene, Ackland played Grubber.<br />
<br />
Ackland joined Christopher Lee and Patrick McNee in 1992 to play King Edward in <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102115/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_64" target="_blank">Incident at Victoria Falls</a></i>. In that role, he sent a ready-to-retire Sherlock Holmes on a mission to South Africa to recover the Star of Africa diamond.<br />
<br />
But we remember him most vividly and fondly for his turn as Jephro Rucastle in "The Copper Beeches" from Granada's <i>The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</i>. This episode is toward the beginning of the Granada production, and it was a faithful adaptation with exquisite costuming, locations and casting.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKWmrblcpfkKaCcAlS1u1GSEUrlXdxYi2n3l070G6a8ARaNqi2i8iqqOzDpsy0wmESab_uaEm_7zlv2htTlqUUxsnA5107rFrq0-PiDjNo57f6gDqr2KGHnKjEoEcF6ELrHGu4hke1aQfxJpR547Hv0g14xI_7P744BiW3vBJTJWPCH6EnWlzDyHvLS0C/s1680/Joss%20Ackland%20-%20Jephro%20Rucastle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1680" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKWmrblcpfkKaCcAlS1u1GSEUrlXdxYi2n3l070G6a8ARaNqi2i8iqqOzDpsy0wmESab_uaEm_7zlv2htTlqUUxsnA5107rFrq0-PiDjNo57f6gDqr2KGHnKjEoEcF6ELrHGu4hke1aQfxJpR547Hv0g14xI_7P744BiW3vBJTJWPCH6EnWlzDyHvLS0C/w640-h412/Joss%20Ackland%20-%20Jephro%20Rucastle.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<br />
Ackland seemed perfectly cast as Rucastle, as Conan Doyle described him as "a round, jovial man" who was a "prodigiously stout man with a very smiling face and a great heavy chin which rolled down in fold upon fold over his throat...with a pair of glasses on his nose."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIUTQ56lKK8/WJ85JAtffvI/AAAAAAAAuVk/LL0yM2BYQToX7rjDRv6X1WHW089mvry6wCLcB/s1600/COPP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yIUTQ56lKK8/WJ85JAtffvI/AAAAAAAAuVk/LL0yM2BYQToX7rjDRv6X1WHW089mvry6wCLcB/s1600/COPP.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In <a href="https://youtu.be/nnwOdEu4A6Q?si=lDqK9gQZRTKvVd5F&t=1671" target="_blank">one of the signature scenes</a> (with the late Natasha Richardson as Violet Hunter), we're treated to this excerpt described in the original story:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Mr. Rucastle, walking up and down on the other side of the room, began to tell me a series of the funniest stories that I have ever listened to."</blockquote>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nnwOdEu4A6Q?si=lDqK9gQZRTKvVd5F&start=1671" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div><br /></div>
As a former disc jockey with decades of stage experience and as the father of seven children (whom he listed as his "hobby" in a 1981 interview), it's no doubt that Joss Ackland could have pulled off Rucastle's storytelling abilities.<br />
<br />
Joss Ackland was rewarded for his service to the profession in 2001 when he was made a Commander of the British Empire. In 2002, <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/182273/Motor-neurone-disease-made-Joss-Ackland-and-his-wife-live-life-to-the-full" target="_blank">he lost his wife of 51 years</a>, Rosemary, to motor neuron disease. With her permission, he published her diaries in 2009 under the title <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/My-Better-Half-Rosemary-Ackland/dp/0091930618" target="_blank">My Better Half and Me</a></i>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Six of his seven children survive him, as do 32 grandchildren.<br />

He would become known professionally as Jeremy Brett.</p><p>He came from an upper-class background — his father was an Army officer and his mother was from the Cadbury confectionary dynasty. Brett would go on to attend Eton, where he was a member of the choir and excelled at singing.</p><p>This singing would prove to be helpful as he took on one of his most significant and memorable film roles: Freddy Eynsford-Hill in <i>My Fair Lady</i> (1964). In it, he was reunited with Audrey Hepburn, who also starred in Brett's first film, <i>War and Peace</i> (1956). And although his singing was overdubbed, his presence in the movie was a delight.</p><p>The stage and television took much of Brett's attention, and without reviewing his entire <i>curriculum vitae</i>, we'll advance to the early 1980s, when Michael Cox approached him about portraying Sherlock Holmes for Granada Television. </p><p>From 1984 to 1994, Brett portrayed Sherlock Holmes in 41 productions for television, giving a believable, if sometimes manic portrayal of the detective that lifted Sherlock Holmes from previously could be described as two-dimensional performances in other productions.</p><p>Sadly, Jeremy Brett passed away from heart failure on September 12, 1995 aged 61.</p><p>It's difficult to imagine Jeremy Brett as a nonagenarian — although some of the clever disguises he donned as Sherlock Holmes give us an idea...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEmZDUrrLd5rZbSMVmc-L2vW0K-3TosQ2MWt3kZNM4kbyW7GBZEutfR4zHLaodPkag84eH4LstjuTK2lkCHfv75ws29gNkfC5CR3e2u6OYjtKQHEkMo-ooWsc4tsOfcfkkFSNhyphenhyphenlGY0svyOe0-Gi_FzO-8NlvBjIojxR4uIZFBy9ZP11CCsqbmjwIaev7/s1447/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094339.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1447" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQEmZDUrrLd5rZbSMVmc-L2vW0K-3TosQ2MWt3kZNM4kbyW7GBZEutfR4zHLaodPkag84eH4LstjuTK2lkCHfv75ws29gNkfC5CR3e2u6OYjtKQHEkMo-ooWsc4tsOfcfkkFSNhyphenhyphenlGY0svyOe0-Gi_FzO-8NlvBjIojxR4uIZFBy9ZP11CCsqbmjwIaev7/w200-h149/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094339.png" width="200" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF6mvSo6f1RMjNLaDjbDlV9jUTh_m-V8pX0p7hXZ8kMJtkKg1tkZHLiZDwe93i5j7YXeFtIolAo_w7Zplx2swrRPIT70RkzXT99XLNYS1jlCt5w7fADDaxlFrbOg2rx44TLx1ySAsgyZhTAWD4uheFuOUkQHro4xx2JsyDEDuW31AvXr0boNINjXBXBt6m/s1425/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094526.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1074" data-original-width="1425" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF6mvSo6f1RMjNLaDjbDlV9jUTh_m-V8pX0p7hXZ8kMJtkKg1tkZHLiZDwe93i5j7YXeFtIolAo_w7Zplx2swrRPIT70RkzXT99XLNYS1jlCt5w7fADDaxlFrbOg2rx44TLx1ySAsgyZhTAWD4uheFuOUkQHro4xx2JsyDEDuW31AvXr0boNINjXBXBt6m/w200-h151/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094526.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqhyphenhyphenLHwUrsMN5ZDAwk5dZX3zwMVdfmaFpNQyisxr7NCrY_f0qkSBQ0tK44m8QHNGpz-z2PtQ0HO-MtCkcUKIVEEVIEZ4fygLQpyotXghB02tHr8ggSXjnetCesKo7qhS-v_uQOIE1ZmtbxQ5G_Taye0xTnhCKQiFDXtHsfxugkFIYLAKJI-PbCtiEfGfK4/s1433/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094724.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1075" data-original-width="1433" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqhyphenhyphenLHwUrsMN5ZDAwk5dZX3zwMVdfmaFpNQyisxr7NCrY_f0qkSBQ0tK44m8QHNGpz-z2PtQ0HO-MtCkcUKIVEEVIEZ4fygLQpyotXghB02tHr8ggSXjnetCesKo7qhS-v_uQOIE1ZmtbxQ5G_Taye0xTnhCKQiFDXtHsfxugkFIYLAKJI-PbCtiEfGfK4/s320/Screenshot%202023-11-02%20094724.png" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>Like Sherlock Holmes, Brett will remain ever-ingrained in our minds as he looked during that glorious decade of the Granada series.

I get in the dumps at times, and don’t open my mouth for days on end. You must not think I am sulky when I do that. Just let me alone, and I’ll soon be right. What have you to confess now? It’s just as well for two fellows to know the worst of one another before they begin to live together.”</div><div><br /></div><div>I laughed at this cross-examination. “I keep a bull pup,” I said, “and I object to rows because my nerves are shaken, and I get up at all sorts of ungodly hours. and I am extremely lazy. I have another set of vices when I’m well, but those are the principal ones at present.”</div></blockquote><div></div><div>That first phrase, “I keep a bull pup,” has puzzled scholars for decades. Three separate explanations have been offered as to what it might be:</div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>A dog</li><li>A pistol</li><li>A quick temper </li></ol></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">We have a strong preference for #3. Here's why.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Holmes was attached by a bull-terrier while at university. We have to imagine that a strange dog might be a deal-breaker in a new arrangement with a flatmate. Not to mention that it's highly unlikely that Watson, recently discharged, injuries, and living in a hotel, would have a dog.</li><li>Since when would a pistol (at least in Victorian London) be considered a shortcoming? After all, Watson is a former army man.</li><li>The previous paragraph of Holmes's shortcomings were all personality-based. It seems only logical that Watson would have followed up similarly, referring to a personality trait rather than a physical object. And as we traverse the Canon, we find that Watson refers to a bull with respect to temper no fewer than three times: "He bellowed like a bull" [GLOR]; "a bellow like an enraged bull," [BLAC]; "a mad bull had arrived" [3GAR].</li></ol></div><div style="text-align: left;">Given Watson's recent overseas service and battle injury, there's no question in our mind that his bull-pup was his nerve-frayed temper.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Whatever the case, he may have gotten his start down this path at Baker Street Elementary...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi07uUkU5i0ZAIQ4FYg3ZFAvExLSIR23BZDuXoYvWi_j8wpp0lWVWRPiaJ5T-m9938JBchS5vtMz6rYqpUMcx_3fafncq-NN5VYcQotNNDpHWoB6SQ3iccaWYrTdzI8UDd9uzoVkDenCax1DZtfDa3vxXlEEZcsgi5TRMW9cbFfb6MQk6X2GMtPJttsypkz/s768/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi07uUkU5i0ZAIQ4FYg3ZFAvExLSIR23BZDuXoYvWi_j8wpp0lWVWRPiaJ5T-m9938JBchS5vtMz6rYqpUMcx_3fafncq-NN5VYcQotNNDpHWoB6SQ3iccaWYrTdzI8UDd9uzoVkDenCax1DZtfDa3vxXlEEZcsgi5TRMW9cbFfb6MQk6X2GMtPJttsypkz/w640-h480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9q2fLu2-5ncFXu9h7v2wKeNmTfM294V2DwsbBAr2b4yBygHq2wDJkWVK4NqaGdB1pGmGcyx-_g4fXdzdGoAzUtItk_4XQ_axGXlAqDGehW6VKkD4lKbrHl2t2J943pQFBuEy6IoV9qaXTzcAj1E7h5D4KLhtGRGCU3hDfYvlEgyVQlCDhtQieDRBoj15/s768/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9q2fLu2-5ncFXu9h7v2wKeNmTfM294V2DwsbBAr2b4yBygHq2wDJkWVK4NqaGdB1pGmGcyx-_g4fXdzdGoAzUtItk_4XQ_axGXlAqDGehW6VKkD4lKbrHl2t2J943pQFBuEy6IoV9qaXTzcAj1E7h5D4KLhtGRGCU3hDfYvlEgyVQlCDhtQieDRBoj15/w640-h480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljK6izgHHPVFVktYe_4BUWii0zDELsCjZnXBDPNIiqtlxfgnqLzMIfSpxLg13KNd0tTxCvMq3TrPCCWEBMsFfkem519bHrYyiBjmZ6l1oUvQuVyJefqkQB_5_UzMYed6rZTB59TvhSX4KF27E-bzCGWlhMGG_Z4gr1xdZe7rjWMWRRqwBeGh0ZbQuQb1i/s768/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljK6izgHHPVFVktYe_4BUWii0zDELsCjZnXBDPNIiqtlxfgnqLzMIfSpxLg13KNd0tTxCvMq3TrPCCWEBMsFfkem519bHrYyiBjmZ6l1oUvQuVyJefqkQB_5_UzMYed6rZTB59TvhSX4KF27E-bzCGWlhMGG_Z4gr1xdZe7rjWMWRRqwBeGh0ZbQuQb1i/w640-h480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdtM8Udw8tZZm48mvMp1AfC1k0bQDcLKXbEpFFNpXEBB8D7VXCc9aeyvHVS9Nju0csl2kpPWfZdxb2LA7J-w2iS8YNeLpgHfljVmCqVxTCt6bMklWmjOpU8vs3zilJlZEQUlN6EIonQiFOrqKEroLmFY6ASFWSBvavn6lCRx1Ef6OJLY8KQ2g_7npp1ZN3/s768/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="768" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdtM8Udw8tZZm48mvMp1AfC1k0bQDcLKXbEpFFNpXEBB8D7VXCc9aeyvHVS9Nju0csl2kpPWfZdxb2LA7J-w2iS8YNeLpgHfljVmCqVxTCt6bMklWmjOpU8vs3zilJlZEQUlN6EIonQiFOrqKEroLmFY6ASFWSBvavn6lCRx1Ef6OJLY8KQ2g_7npp1ZN3/w640-h480/Baker%20Street%20Elementary%20163.5.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><i>Baker Street Elementary</i></b><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #0e0e0e; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> follows the original adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, as they and their friends work through the issues of elementary school in Victorian London.

The award will be judged on the mentor’s commitment to bringing aspiring Sherlockians into the cause and encouraging them to find ways to keep green the memory of Sherlock Holmes. While those activities could be in the traditional realm of trifling monographs and playing The Game, we would also recognize that the effort could take place in other media and activities. </div><div><br /></div><div>To sum up who we are looking for in a few words: Someone who is generous, welcoming, and offers encouragement.</div><p><br /></p><h3>Who Is Eligible For The Award?</h3><p>The Susan Rice Mentorship Award is open to all living Sherlockians who are generous, welcoming, and offer encouragement. They will also need to have a proven record that supports that definition. No current judges or previous winners may be considered for the award. The award is not limited to members of the Baker Street Irregulars.</p><p><br /></p><h3>How Is Someone Nominated?</h3><p>The award will be given based on nominations. The nominator should complete an essay of <b>750 words or fewer </b>that answers this question: “Who do you believe should be recognized for their work in mentoring aspiring Sherlockians and why? Please provide specific examples of their guidance, encouragement, and welcoming spirit.” </p><p>Qualities to consider when nominating: Welcoming to all Sherlockians; looking out for new Sherlockians to join the ranks; encouraging involvement and guiding people through their participation; connecting new Sherlockians to current members of the BSI; believing in someone even if they don’t believe in themselves; leaving the organization better than when they joined it. </p><p>Should someone be nominated in one year and not win, they would need to be re-nominated for consideration in succeeding years.</p><p><br /></p><h3>Where Should Nominations Be Sent?</h3><p>Nominations should be sent to <a href="mailto:SusanRiceMentorAward@gmail.com">SusanRiceMentorAward@gmail.com</a>. An acknowledgment email will be sent in reply. </p><p><br /></p><h3>Who Are The Judges?</h3><p>The current judges are <b>Curtis Armstrong</b>, <b>Ray Betzner</b>, <b>Jenn Eaker</b>, <b>Ashley Polasek</b>, and <b>Steven Rothman</b>. Again, judges are not eligible for the award.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a heartfelt reminiscence on Susan Rice's impact from a former mentee of hers, read <a href="http://www.vincentstarrett.com/blog/susan-rice-mentorship-award" target="_blank">Curtis Armstrong's essay on the Studies in Starrett blog</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>We hope you nominate someone worthy of the award.</p><p><br /></p><p>--</p><p><br /></p></div>

Even though we weren't alive when the stories were written, we can feel as if we were there.</p><p>We discuss the impetus for this book, as well as Alistair's four other Sherlockian books — the first of which was the impetus for MX Publishing to focus on Sherlock Holmes.</p><p>We have news from the Sherlockian world and another easy-peasy <b>Canonical Couplet</b>. Did you win last time? Will you win this time? The winner will receive a copy of one of Alistair's books. </p><p>Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by September 29, 2023 at 11:59 a.m. EST.
