Favourite touches


Little moments that add to the richness of the characters.

Holmes' description of the bell pull as a rope in the Speckled Band and the way the score kicks in ominously.

Watson ignoring Holmes' suggestion to write his own choice of title at the end of The Resident Patient, then half changing it to Holmes' and then eventually giving in and changing it completely.

Holmes telling Mrs Hudson to go away when she rises him from bed, before creeping to the main room for a cigarette lighter without realising he's being watched.

The way Holmes skips from room to room in the Norwood Builder, steadfastly ignoring Lestrade's crowing from downstairs.

The old fashioned headware and grumpy expression on Holmes' face as the card takes him on the country retreat in The Adventure Of The Devil's Foot.
