I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Thanks, I always love watching The Blue Carbucle every christmas time.

Yea, it´s a classic - and it has a very Christmasy feel in its finale.

Sidney Paget's drawings were often a visual template used for this series (especially in the early episodes). This black and picture from "A Scandal in Bohemia" is a clear example of this.

Yes, that´s one of the reasons why I love the series so much:

If you watched "The Abominable Bride" last night (which I loved btw). It also gives homage to the shot of Holmes and Watson on train, too.

Costumes and general look that Cumberbatch and Freeman had in it were very reminiscent of Brett and Burke (or Brett/ Hardwicke)

They were definitely modelled after them, I´d say.
