Sherlock Holmes (TV series)/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • After his dramatic reappearance in The Empty House, Holmes stretches out on Watson's exam table for a nap and, completely exhausted from his long flight, is asleep in seconds. Watson looks down at him for a moment, shakes his head, then pulls the blanket over his friend.
    • Shortly before that there's Watson revealing he had Holmes' final letter framed and hanging on a wall. Holmes is touched to the point of speechlessness.
  • The moment in The Devil's Foot when Watson saves himself and Holmes from the titular drug, Holmes, having lost any composure he had, calls Watson 'John' for the first and only time.
  • The exchange (detailed above) between Holmes and Lestrade at the end of The Six Napoleons, played pitch-perfect between Jeremy Brett and Colin Jeavons.
