I am the closest thing to a friend that Sherlock Holmes is capable of having. An enemy. If you were to ask him, he’d probably say his arch-enemy.

And there’s Sherlock, in the loneliest place on Earth - in the middle of a dance floor, no partner, all the couples swirling around him.

I just noticed something in HLV in the minute 45’. Please watch when Sherlock supposedly go out of his mind palace. Sherlock is considering Mary and when he come back the monitor behind him, showing us his heartbeat, starts going back and not forward. The monitor is running backwards, from right to left. When he is talking to Janine, in the minute 43'40", the monitor runs well, from left to right. I don’t know how put the gif from the two scenes so please go and watch and tell me I don’t go crazy. @monikakrasnorada @isitandwonder @multivariate-madness @stillgosherlocked @gryssenielsen @mylastvow
Can I Be of Assistance? BBC Sherlock and The Secret of Sherlock Holmes
The Secret of Sherlock Holmes was a play written by Jeremy Paul, who also wrote several episodes of the Granada series. Paul and Jeremy Brett, who had been friends for two decades before this play was produced, would often talk about Sherlock Holmes and his origins. During one of these discussions, Brett commissioned this play from Paul; it contains many of Brett’s own theories about the character so many people identified with him. The play was meant to be a one-off, starring Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke in their famous roles, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of A Study in Scarlet. However, it was met with such enthusiasm that it ended up running for a full year (1988/1989), rather to the detriment of Brett’s health.
As a refresher, the Granada series ran from 1984 to 1995. The first season ended with The Final Problem, and the second ended with The Bruce–Partington Plans (episodes did not follow the order of Watson’s writings or any chronological order of occurrence). The play ran between the second and third seasons.
There will be lots of spoilers below the cut, so if you’d like to experience the play before reading, please click here for an audio recording of the original performance in two parts. Unfortunately, the play was never filmed. Also unfortunately, the audio becomes very poor around 19:20 in the second audio link. I promise it never gets loud again after that (except an exclamation or two by Jeremy Brett, of course!), so feel free to turn up your volume.
Before I read The Secret of Sherlock Holmes, I expected it to be entirely in keeping with the Granada series. It’s not. The series and the play differ in tone and content. There are no cases, and Holmes and Watson are the only characters. Stories that had already been adapted in Granada turn up in the play in different forms, but only to serve their relationship. The play adapts the subtext of the stories, rather than the text, which is something Granada rarely did, and mainly in the later episodes, like The Eligible Bachelor.
In the context of Sherlock, this means that The Secret of Sherlock Holmes is a greater source than the Granada series was, because the play was original in ways that the series wasn’t (perils of being faithful to the surface narratives of the stories). I’m going to talk about how the play adapted the Doyle stories, and how those choices are reflected in Sherlock, because as we know, “Everything is canon”.
The play develops the Holmes and Watson relationship from the time they meet and move in together, until some time after Holmes returns to Watson after faking his death in the Reichenbach. Along the way, they each address the audience to tell us secrets they keep from each other; the action (so to speak) culminates in a discussion of Moriarty’s role in their lives.
Love, loss, lies, and John Watson being pretty damned smart, under the cut.

i love cold room and lots of blanket
the curse having character thoughts but none of them are coherent
John and Molly in outfits so identical you’re barely allowed to even see them lol.
thoughts on mycroft holmes? 💗 wait have you heard of him or
omg mycroft holmes? who cares about his little brother so much but is so bad at adequately conveying that? who had a man carted off to an empty warehouse for the most intimidating "break his heart and i'll do worse than kill you" speech anyone's ever seen and then asked if marriage was on the table when the man so much as looked at moving into a flat with his brother? who absolutely royally fucked up and got himself into a situation he can't get out of with a criminal mastermind and forced his brother into having to fake his own death and even after all that he can't bring himself to actually discuss any of this with him, let alone ask forgiveness, because he can't handle a broken heart? mycroft holmes as portrayed by co-writer and -producer mark gatiss in the award-winning show which has aired from 2010 to 2017? who may or may not have put jim's face on every tv screen in the country to save his brother from actually being sent to his certain death? who has an office that's all concrete and mirrors and global domination under whitehall and who is definitely the smart one but can he help it if he loathes legwork (but he'll still suffer it for the sake of saving his brother, if needed)? who sat at his desk with his feet propped up and twirled a pen in his hand and said "i love a good acronym, all the best secret societies have one"? you know i'm not sure i have heard of him could you maybe elabor—
JEREMY BRETT & DAVID BURKE as SHERLOCK HOLMES & DR JOHN WATSON in THE CROOKED MAN (1984)
v late to the party and only half aware of current theories but im back into sherlock and just rewatched hlv so here’s:
hlv as inspired by His Last Bow:
- name (obvs)
- h+w reunite after time apart
- beard (goatee / janine)
- Watson in disguise
- holmes drugging people (kinda)
- Holmes selling state secrets
- final conversation
- east wind
HLB subtitled as ‘the epilogue of Sherlock Holmes’, so do they use it here to highlight a departure from the canon? They’ve reached the end and the rest is their version?
give him a puzzle & watch him dance
The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier: ‘The good Watson had at that time deserted me for a wife, the only selfish action which I can recall in our association. I was alone.’
John looks over at Sherlock, his expression bleak. Then the cab drives off. Sherlock’s left on the pavement. Alone. This wasn’t how it was meant to go.
