Confession: this is why Charles Gray is my favorite Mycroft!
To contrast him physically even more with Sherlock, I think Mycroft should have a deep, soft-spoken voice to go with Sherlock's voice being described as high and piercing.
Also, Mycroft speaks very slowly, while Sherlock runs his mouth at a million miles an hour. :)
Not original to me, but a good one: there’s an oft-told story that endeared [Alan] Alda to me as well: Sometime in the last decade he attended an dinner ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II and while standing in the reception line, he realized he was next to Donald Sutherland, who originated the role of Hawkeye Pierce in the film version of M*A*S*H. Alda leaned over to Sutherland and whispered, “Thank you for my life.”
That is quite lovely.

You’re allowed! We have our preferences! I’m an old school Granada fan, and fell in love with the show forever when Jeremy leaped over the sofa and told Watson that he couldn’t have come at a better time! That along with Charles Gray as Mycroft, Eric Porter as a genuinely fearsome Moriarty, and I was hooked!
But now I need to plunge into the radio versions…

I just pledged; there’s also a Kickstarter for new traditional style Sherlock Holmes stories from MX Books.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Granada TV Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock Holmes Magazine hopes to publish a new, updated version of the Jeremy Brett special, which has long been out of print.
Please consider backing the campaign if you’re able and share widely! Click the link for more info (Kickstarter link) (SH magazine link)
