Sherlock Holmes: [whispers] Watson!
[then musically]
Sherlock Holmes: Watson.
[Holmes tickles Watson's foot]
Dr. Watson: What time is it?
Sherlock Holmes: Dawn.
Dr. Watson: I've only had two hours sleep!
Sherlock Holmes: I wonder if you'd do me the very great kindness of considering the possibility of waking up?
Dr. Watson: I assume you have a good reason.

A good Watson

These two played a very good team,I always found Nigel Bruce annoying as Watson because Watson was not an idiot. Holmes would not have tolerated a fool.

Although a good acting team I found that the dialogue had been sanitized (typical British TV,) and Holmes` cocaine addiction played down, almost to the point that he had kicked the habit. Far better his portrayal in "The private life of Sherlock Holmes" in which Watson constantly reprimands Holmes for his weakness of character.

The actors were good and their characterisation was good but the blandness of the dialogue reduced the plots almost to soap opera level.
