Question Jeremy Brett programs petition!

Hello Everybody,

Together with my dear friend I have created a petition with the aim to make the BBC, Fremantle and ITV/Granada release all the Jeremy Brett programs from their archives (possible as internet downloads). Please take a minute to read the petition. We hope you will sign it - thanks in advance :) Some action must be taken so all the JB treasures will not be lost for ever.
Please spread the word!
Here is the link:
Release the Jeremy Brett programs*-*Online Petition

Even if you're not a great Jeremy Brett fan there may be some programs of interest for you.
Here are Jeremy's BFI and IMDb webs sites:
BFI | Film & TV Database | BRETT, Jeremy
Jeremy Brett

Here is what another friend of mine said beautifully about Jeremy:
"Jeremy Brett was one of the best and most underappreciated british actors there ever was. He had a screen presence second to none and his works should be made available to his many legions of loyal fans who wish to keep his memory alive".

And then I would like to ask you if you have any tips on how and where to advertise about the petition? Because we are really many who would like this to be a succes.

Thanks in advance

Hello everybody,

Please, we need all the help we can get. Jeremy Brett was too amazing to let his performances be hidden away in some old, dusty archives :)



A quote from Jeremy himself:
" "I'm disappointed that my career is over. The people who admire me as an actor, my close friends - oh, how I would love to give them one more performance to thank them for their support. At the moment, I don't feel I have given them enough". "Jeremy have you forgotten about all the videotapes we have of you playing Sherlock Holmes? We can watch those tapes any time we wish. Your performances have been preserved for posterity and that is wonderful." Jeremy did not own a videotape machine, so of course that thought had never occured to him. His countenance brightened considerably. "Of course", he said with the glee returning to his voice. "I forgot about that. Now I can rest easy". " (The Jeremy Brett - Linda Pritchard Story)

Thank you!
