Sherlock Holmes (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Holmes and Watson, as a matter of fact. Their clothing seems to very deliberately reflect not only their coloring but their personalities, as well. Holmes is ALWAYS in black or grey (but usually black) - the only episode in the entire ''series'' in which he wears a color (cream) is in "The Naval Treaty". Watson, on the other hand, tends to wear brown, or a warm shade of grey (except for the [[Christmas Episode]], in which he wears blue).

* [[Cool People Rebel Against Authority]]: It doesn't get much better than this...

'''Holmes:''' "''Splendid''." }}

* [[Costume Porn]]: The detail and authenticity of the clothing is just astounding. Irene Adler's dresses are utterly ''gorgeous''.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: It seems that Watson sometimes considers himself to be this. It's a justified belief.

* [[Orphaned Punchline]]: shows up in ''The Copper Beeches''.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Between the first and second series, Edward Hardwicke replaces David Burke as Watson. The distinction is quite sharp - The Final Problem uses Burke, but Holmes returns to Hardwicke in The Empty House (they even reshot a few scenes with Hardwicke for flashback purposes). Overall, David Burke came across as much younger, more naive Watson, albeit one who resembled the original illustrations. Edward Hardwicke, however, was older, more distinguished, and more ex-military. Most fans agree Hardwicke was the more memorable Watson.

* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]] / Sidekick: Watson's a pretty intelligent, capable soldier, but he always stands in Holmes's shadow.
