The Secret of Sherlock Holmes -

Isn't that a great quote?? It describes the relationship between Holmes and Watson so truthfully.

Watson leaves Holmes for his wife.

Holmes is grief-stricken. They are both lost Holmes can't come to terms with this…

This is true love

An amused Holmes and an annoyed Watson spells trouble.

I saw a tumblr post not that long ago about Granada Sherlock Holmes, that said David Burke’s Watson was boyfriend!Watson and Edward Hardwicke’s Watson is husband!Watson, and I'm thinking truer words have never been spoken.

Burke’s Watson looks at Holmes with excitement, almost adoration at times. Something you would expect from a newer relationship.

Harwicke’s Watson looks at Holmes with a gentle fondness.

Burke’s run includes a lot more incidental touches, of the arm, the shoulder, etc. The type of stuff that is great for gif sets, and prefect for shipper fuel.

The touches are less during Hardwicke’s run, from what I’ve seen so far, but he shares these looks with Holmes like they’re communicating without talking, which don’t particularly gif well, but are such great little character moments when you’re watching the show.

I was disappointed at first that they switched actors part way through, but they made it work. There is about 7-8 years between Burke and Hardwicke for age, and I know canonically only three years are supposed to have passed between The Final Problem and The Empty House, but if you widen that gap the changes in Watson make more sense. Older Watson is more staid, he has known grief and heartache, and he has settled into his middle age. He seems exasperated with Holmes much of the time, and yet you know he would follow him almost anywhere. Older Watson more readily accepts Holmes with all of his foibles, because he knows what life was like without him.

Young Watson and Holmes are two men in their prime, ready to take on the world.

Older Watson and Holmes are the bickering old married couple, that would be lost without each other.

A night in 221b Baker Street - The observer and the observed

[detail shots under the cut]

This piece was created with all the love I have for Sir Conan Doyle's detective and his biographer. Over the last six months my knowledge of Sherlock Holmes went from barely there to quite extensive (including but not limited to the stories themselves and the real life of victorian middle class people)

I'm quite aware this piece is anything but perfect but I've poured a lot of love (and time) into it.
