Inspector Lestrade: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* Most of the police officers in ''[[Detective Conan]]'' are this, but specially Megure. They're portrayed as competent at their job (a few stories start near the end of a successful investigation on their part, for example) - but Shin'ichi is [[Overshadowed By Awesome|just that much better than them,]] and Megure especially has the good sense to defer to him.

** Kogoro Mouri exemplifies this, although he's no longer with the force.

* In ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]'', Inspector Lestrade is both a helpful, self-aware version of this trope, as well as being a [[Friend On the Force]].

** The DVD commentary reveals that an important part of casting Lestrade was finding someone who the audience could believe would, if Sherlock Holmes did not exist, eventually solve the crimes on his own.

 

 

== Western Animation ==

* In ''[[Sherlock Holmes in The Twenty Second Century]]'', a reanimated Sherlock is somewhat surprised (and perhaps dismayed) to discover that the head of Scotland Yard is a woman. More exactly, she's Beth Lestrade, a descendant of the original Lestrade he knew.
