Watson winks at Holmes 😉 

Holmes winks at Watson

When I first read the books I didn't notice that Holmes laughs over 80 times! More adaptations should let Holmes and Watson laugh occasionally

Holmes loves flipping his cape thingy!

i simply can't get over his cape flip

Holmes asks Watson to look around the suspect's apartment. When Watson asks how he will get in Holmes replies "with a key". Watson asks if he has a key and Holmes jangles the keys at him in response

When there's a knock at the door to 221B Baker Street, Holmes invites Watson to deduce who it is. Watson says "I think it would be simpler if I just opened the door"

Holmes and Watson hold hands (with a corpse hand)

Inspector Lestrade is convinced that he has the murderer in custody, but Holmes wants him to reopen the case. Despite Lestrade's complaint that it is time for his lunch, Holmes insists there is no time to lose.

Holmes tastes the mystery liquid found on the murder suspect

Watson sees Holmes is pouring poison into their teapot and says "That's the last drop I'll ever drink out of that pot!" and storms out, but he is quickly drawn back by Holmes' deductions

Watson soon forgets and uses the teapot, but Holmes refuses his cup because he has lightly poisoned himself from the teapot recently

Watson: "Confound it man, the tea is ruined!"

Holmes: "Well fair enough old man, but so is my poison!"

Watson isn't paying attention to whatever Lestrade and Holmes are discussing, so when Holmes asks what he thinks he just says "oh yes indeed, Holmes" 😆

SHERLOCK HOLMES (1984-1994) ♦︎ 40th Anniversary ♦︎

“To me, the Sherlock Holmes stories are about a great friendship. The two men are interdependent; without Watson, Holmes might well have burnt out on cocaine long ago. And Watson leads a pretty dull life, enlivened only by his adventures with Holmes. I hope the series shows how important friendship is.” – Jeremy Brett

All of Sherlock Holmes' tummy tapping! (unless I missed some)

After taking an impromptu dip in the river during an investigation, Holmes and Watson return to Baker Street to get warm and wrap up the case with Inspector Lestrade, who smugly pours them drinks while they shiver and sneeze
