-Holmes buying Watson's practice through a distant cousin is absolutely terrific, sweet and makes me laugh. I wonder how Watson felt when he first found out? Typically we have Watson referring to Holmes' "cold and proud nature"...directly after mentioning Holmes bought his practice. 🤔 Yes Watson, that's not exactly convincing unless you ignore everything else (as some adaptions do unfortunately).
-Gosh yes, Holmes truly is a drama Queen here! And woe to the people of London that Moriarty is gone...not! If I was Watson I would have remarked causally on detectives having sufficient fun with Moriarty that another wasn't required 😉
Holmes, you dolt, you didn't even bother to check out a fresh issue before complaining!
😂 Super mightymads!
-Ah Victorian remedies. It is a reminder of the bizarre conjunction of men like Lister developing infection control whilst cigarettes and poisonous medicines were sold...such as cough syrups with laudanum!
-I completely agree with you and everyone, Granada did this story justice, one of the best adaptations I think, though not my favourite story.
-The connection between Holmes and Watson is beautiful here, and Doyle certainly let it shine.
-I do wonder whether Holmes suffered from a nervous disposition, which along with his habits of not eating or sleeping could hardly aid his normal eating habits.
-Holmes' reaction is perfect. I do like how Brett captured the moment x
-How Holmes revealed the culprit suited his character and fitted the deceptions in the story!
-Also love Lestrade's respect for Holmes with not a glimmer of anger at being overturned, all he cared about was that an innocent life was almost lost, but Holmes saved them from such a dreadful misapprehension.
Whilst this isn't my favourite story, I agree with your reasoning for loving it. The case gave us a marvellously strong Watson-Holmes connection very much needed after Empty House. 🙂
I also do like how Granada added the hobo line, because Doyle...you were a medical doctor! I certainly hope no real doctor would mistake a rabbit for a human?
