Sherlock Holmes (TV series)/Awesome


  • Granada's adaptation of "The Dying Detective" has Sherlock Holmes give a sterling tirade against Culverton Smith, helped immensely by the ominous music accompanying it:

"Smith! SMITH! It is a singular coincidence, is it not, that you should inherit so much from the man who died of a disease upon which you are the sole expert? Well?! (eyebrow raise) Coincidence bordering upon the unbelievable! Let me tell you the doors of your profession, which have been closed to you, will now be locked and bolted against you! It is my mission."

  • The Granada TV adaptation of "The Illustrious Client" had one for the man Holmes assigned to protect Kitty. Holmes had been beat up by two thugs hired by the villain, and the same pair of thugs go after Kitty. He hands their asses to them on a plate.
    • The writers who wrote the adaptation should get a CMOA also. The original story never specifies how Kitty was ruined by the villain. In the Granada adaptation, Kitty was scarred by vitriol being thrown on her. Her method of revenge is thus expalined and justified.
