hey don't cry. on december 3, 1926, agatha christie went missing for eleven days and because the uk police didn't know what to do they recruited sir arthur conan doyle, creator of master detective sherlock holmes, but all he did was conduct a séance to try and contact her distressed spirit

My favorite David Burke Holmemes in honor of his passing. Rest in peace to one of the best and hottest Watsons we’ve ever had.

Fun fact: the first meme in this post was actually the first Holmeme I ever made, and the inspiration for this whole series!

One of the finest and most beloved Watsons ever to grace the screen has passed away. David Burke was 91 years old, just shy of his 92nd birthday, and he is survived by his wife Anna Calder-Marshall and his son Tom Burke.

By all accounts, he was a gentleman and a wonderful human being. He could have stayed on to play Watson much longer, which would have made many of us very happy, but he chose to leave the show to be nearer to his family, especially since Tom was very young at the time.

His was not the first intelligent and competent Watson, but this version marked a turning point in mainstream depictions, from comedic sidekick to a hero in his own right.

RIP, dear sir. You will be missed. Thank you for everything.

Conan Doyle drew this when he passed his medical exams

description: a simple doodle of a man in a pea-coat, jumping for joy. he's holding a piece of paper headed DIPLOMA. underneath him in cursive, it says 'Licensed to kill'

am i supposed to believe that mycroft knows how to drive

[a-candle-for-sherlock]

@educatedinyellow yes. When it comes down to it Mycroft will scrap any other element of his character for Sherlock, because he is first, foundationally and above all else Sherlock’s big brother.

I love this scene so much. Watson girl you're laying on the ground cause Holmes told you to pretend to be dead dont act like this guys is weird.

"Do you need a doctor?"

"I'm a doctor, why whats wrong with you?

"Aren't you sick?"

"Nah, I'm dead"

I hate adaptions that try to add a romantic angle to the Sherlock Holmes/Irene Adler relationship, partially because he is gay, mostly because she is massively out of his league.

[byjove]

IT IS SO FUNNY, SHE REALLY DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIM, at best she finds him mildly amusing. I wrote that I think she’d call him ‘little buddy’ in a modern AU and I’m rightttttt.
