Last night I had a dream that finally the BBC were making a new complete Sherlock Holmes adaptation set in the Victorian era and attempting to be loyal to the text - the first such since Granada! - and with modern budget and filming techniques...
...and I was SO EXCITED, and then I started watching them and the one change they had made was that they inexplicably added an extra sidekick character in some of the episodes (like a quarter) named Jimmy Carr and played by British comedian Jimmy Carr and essentially doing his normal comedian stuff but just... as if he'd been there in the Victorian era.
I was sort of like "Huh. Weird, but... okay. It's kind of fun." Except then it got to one episode which in my dream was a canon Holmes story I remembered (it wasn't really one though) and in that one they had taken out Watson, who was usually there, and replaced him with Jimmy Carr, and I was just thinking, "I have to look this up after I watch this, because something must have happened, like maybe the Watson actor was suddenly unavailable," only then my alarm went off to give the cat his insulin and I woke up.
*Because it makes canon more like itself to have it be more gay really, let's be honest, so you barely notice
