Hello Granada fans! I was just re-re-rewatching Copper Beeches (lost the count of how many times i watched it) when i noticed that the drawing of the house which appears during Watson's ending narration
Tumblr media
Superimposing the shot of the house then appears on Watson desk.
Tumblr media
As he is reading the draft of the story to Holmes from his notebook. The drawing also looks to me like an ink drawing made with a pen. Since Watson is reading Holmes the story from the notebook and not from the Strand, it means the story hasn't been published yet.
In conclusion, what if this means that in the Granada Holmes universe Watson draws some if not most of the illustrations himself? We know that he's a doctor, doctors study anatomy (aggraziearcazzo, yes, i'm telling it to myself so you won't have to do it) and studying anatomy also means drawing anatomical sketches! I would bet good money that Watson knows how to draw quite well and that drawing on his desk seems to me the proof that he's the one drawing many of our illustrations!

It has recently been that I began to see various adaptations of Sherlock Holmes to satisfy my hyperfixation but I always found it very funny the ability that my sister had to fall in love only with Watson's actors without knowing that they were Watson.
Sure she knows what is Sherlock Holmes but her idea of ​​the characters and everything she knows about them is basically the great mouse detective so when I saw Sherlock and she pointed to Freeman's Watson as "a really handsome man" she was quite surprised to learn that that was Watson.
Later it was hilarious when I saw the Granada version because there were 2 Watsons and they both seemed attractive to her, like when she saw Burke's Watson it was something so dramatic because my sister has a thing to evaluate the costumes of any series that she watches or I see because my sis study textile engineering and she always gives me speechs on how that fabric that they used for x victorian costumes is wrong because it did not even exist at that time, so she was telling me something about that and Burke's Watson appeared on the screen and she fell silent then she accused me of putting series "where only guys who seem very hot appear". Then when there was the change with Edward Hardwicke my sister unknowingly chose Watson's actor for her joke of "My ideal sugar daddy, he looks so adorable and kind, look how that suit fits him." When I told her that she pointed to Watson's actor AGAIN, she accused me of lying to her because "of course she already knew who Watson was in that series that I saw". I told her that they changed the actor.
As I did not stop watching SH adaptations, she decided to stop for a while pointing out who she found handsome until when my sister naively thought that if I saw something in Russian that definitely could not be an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, after to declare out loud that she "could marry" with Solomin's Watson I just laughed and she knew it. By the time I saw the new russian holmes she came to ask me directly who was Watson this time? And when I pointed it out she just said "Fuck" and left.
Then we had a very long talk where we concluded that her type is Watson.

Watching Granada Holmes: The Blue Carbuncle
I’m sleepy and will be heading to bed after this, feeling very happy indeed. If you’re interested in my previous episode recaps, see here. Also see Plaid Adder’s review of this episode, it’s great. 
This episode is FUN. I will definitely be rewatching it later. Thoughts:
This has its own category of Holmes and Watson Togetherness, really, because the case is only there as window-dressing to that. 
... Once you get over the slight confusion of the long introductory bit with all the extras, anyway. The start was particularly confusing! 
Not that the extras aren’t good! They’re all excellent. Part of what makes this episode fun. 
But it’s really not the usual story. If this was a regular episode/ story, Mrs Horner would have come knocking on Holmes’s door pleading for him to help prove her husband innocent. Or Countess Morcar would have sent a footman to bring Holmes around so she could demand he find the jewel for her. 
But it’s a whacky Christmas story/ episode, so the first mystery is about the goose... or rather, the Hat. Which then leads to the goose. 
And we’re introduced to Holmes and Watson this time with Watson stepping out smartly (”Where’s he off to?” I thought) and Holmes... still in bed. 
This is the origin point of the delightful scene of Mrs Hudson coming in to wake Holmes up (goodness knows what time it is) and Holmes’s response is only, “Please GO AWAY”. I am giggling just thinking about it. 
The fun is continued when Holmes stumbles into his sitting room some minutes (one presumes) later, to find he has a guest. But the most lovely thing about this is that Holmes is not grumpy at all, once he’s over his initial surprise. Apparently sleepy Holmes is a cordial one, willing to offer alcohol (... I didn’t catch what type) to his guest and find his rather odd tale amusingly fascinating, rather than, say, boring. 
Though he does fall asleep during the story, so perhaps I shouldn’t give Holmes too much credit. Seriously, what time is it during that scene? Holmes went back to bed after! 
And then Watson returns and we get the delightful Hat Deductions Scene. Gah, they’re so delighted with each other, I love it. 
... and then the carbuncle pops up, which sets Holmes and Watson On The Hunt for clues about it and the goose, which leads to the Betting Scene - another :D moment. 
THIS ENTIRE EPISODE IS DELIGHTFUL for the Holmes/ Watson content alone! 
Like, it might turn into one of my comfort eps I think. Just <3 ALL THE FEELS. 
Of course, there’s also Ryder and his pitiable comedy of burglary errors, and the poor Horners. I love seeing Holmes’s anger at Ryder’s deceit - so fierce. Ryder is reduced to begging on his knees for Holmes to be lenient... which he is. More on that in a minute. 
After how angry Holmes was with Ryder about the mess R had put the Horners in, I did find it a bit perplexing that Watson was the one to remind Holmes that Horner was still imprisoned. Not that Watson reminded him, because of cause Watson would care about that... but why didn’t Holmes remember? 
And how on Earth did Holmes manage to explain Horner’s innocence (leading to the very Christmassy end scene) without bringing Ryder into it?? Use the carbuncle and explain the events? Make something up using the facts but pretend that Ryder didn’t give his name? HOW did he do it? 
I’d love to hear people’s theories on that, I really would. 
One final thing: 
The way Holmes reacts to Watson’s confusion at Holmes letting Ryder go is another, “well that’s interesting” moment for Holmes’s characterisation. “I am not retained by the police to supply their deficiencies!” Holmes yells at Watson - Watson! - with almost as much frustration as he’d yelled at Ryder earlier (though thankfully with less venom). Seriously, I should have probably written Holmes’s words in capitals, he shouts with such emphasis. 
Is it a quirk of it being a Christmas story? With what Holmes says after his outburst, that he’s committing a felony to save a soul? Is it that Holmes doesn’t like prisons, really, unless the villain is a true one? (After all, he spoke plainly of Roylott getting what was coming to him last episode.) 
Or is it, with a queer reading, a combination of those, and something deeper? 
Goodnight.

What if Taika was Watson and Rhys was Holmes?
i thought about that too but tbh i dont think that could work either just coz they're so holmes&watson shaped the other way around? and like holmes is eccentric and goofy but not the like...breed of goofy that rhys darby is. which again is very sad for me coz i love the sted multiverse complex but it's very hard to make h&w work without the right balance of eccentric + grounding. but i still maintain that jenkins would be really good at making a lighthearted (and gay, naturally) sh adaptation

9 people to get to know better
Thanks for the tag, @bluespring864!
LAST SONG: I really don't remember. Last time I conciously listened to music was last thursday when I was out with friends in a really oldfashionend place we use to go to since the mid 90s (and it was oldfashioned then). The landlord has a radio station playing which plays only 80s and early 90s songs all of which we knew to the surprise of the kid of one of my friends. The last song I remember from that night is "Would I lie to you" from Charles & Eddie.
FAVORITE COLOR: Not good with favorites and I like so many colours. Blues (I'm wearing mostly blue) but also a big fan of red(s) and green(s).
CURRENTLY WATCHING: M*A*S*H, Ducktales, Sherlock Holmes (Granada, rewatch) and a Big Bang theory rewatch (after finishing Young Sheldon).
SWEET / SAVOURY / SPICY: Savoury or spicy. I'm not overly fond of sweet (if it isn't chocolate).
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Longterm realtionship since 1992 ...
CURRENT OBSESSION: Last one is/was Good Omens and some other stuff David Tennant did. Other than that I'm obsessionless atm which is always a bit ... sad? I miss the excitement.
LAST THING YOU SEARCHED: Who sang "Would I lie to you" ;)
I you like to do this I'm tagging @keinbutterdieb, @moun-chan, @zhivchik, @black-cat-aoife, @derjemand, @diamondcitydarlin, @cuddleswinchester, @cornchrunchie and @rebecca2525 and everything everyone! else who want to to this.
