No. 131 was one of a row, all flat-chested, respectable, and most unromantic dwellings.
In contrast to all those romantic, scandalous, and voluptuous dwellings

Sherlock Holmes: consultant detective, drama queen and soft hearted man
He's so dramatic, he likes to do a little bit of drama, he needs the praise!
He always get praised by Watson, but with Lestrade everything was slower. They didn't have that chemistry between them, but the inspector is an important part of Holmes' life, so when Lestrade is the one praising him
EMOTIONS!!!
HOLMES HAS EMOTIONS!!!
The Adventure of the Six Napoleons is the evidence! And some people forget that!!!
(and Jeremy Brett did an amazing work in this case)

It was no very unusual thing for Mr. Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, to look in upon us of an evening, and his visits were welcome to Sherlock Holmes, for they enabled him to keep in touch with all that was going on at the police head-quarters. In return for the news which Lestrade would bring, Holmes was always ready to listen with attention to the details of any case upon which the detective was engaged, and was able occasionally, without any active interference, to give some hint or suggestion drawn from his own vast knowledge and experience. ("The Six Napoleons")
Okay, so in short ... they are gossiping. XD

I was reminded that even though we now have read all the short Sherlock Holmes stories with Letters from Watson, I had not watched all of the Granada's episodes yet. So I watched The six napoleons yesterday and, boy, I can't think of anything else
Why did this start with that young lady in the window in just her shift washing herself?? I felt like I was watching a Victorian porn scene in full colour. Iconic
So much Italian screaming and fighting, loved all the chaos
*Watson launching into a speech acting all professonal and knowledgable* "Watson It Won't Do!!" so dramatic
"Ah, the lamp, of course!" *Watson and Lestrade look at each other* we have figured out Nothing
The way Jeremy Brett acted when they went to look at the corpse. "Oh sorry, I was just distracted thinking about the mystery even I cannot solve: death itself" * proceeds to examine the corpse in the weirdest way possible*
All of the side characters were just so hilariously portrayed. Lestrade acting all cocky and convinced of his own theory. The scattery journalist who just wants to write his stories and is so Done with being a character in them. The masonry buisness man with the outragous German accent. The shop owner with this consiracy fears
Watson and Holmes exchanging glances in the background all the time: can you believe this shit?? And scheming together to get their hands on confidential information without even needing words
The slumber party in Baker Street with Holmes just throwing papers everywhere
"There's nothing to loose in joining me!" "Except a good night's sleep" Edward Hardwicke's delivery of this line was gold
The interaction between Watson and Lestrade and Holmes while they were waiting in the garden shed are so amusing, especially "Watson this is not the time for humbugs!"
Beppo literally moving like a monkey was so uncessesary
Holmes' unhinged diving to knock the murderer to the ground even with the police being literally there. So similar to the Sidney Paget drawing
Jeremy Brett's acting when Lestrade told him that Scotland Yard was proud of him. Literal tears. Oh my heart
Lestrade being worked out of the door at the end because Holmes cleary just wanted Alone Time with Watson

It was at such moments that for an instant he ceased to be a reasoning machine, and betrayed his human love for admiration and applause. The same singularly proud and reserved nature which turned away with disdain from popular notoriety was capable of being moved to its depths by spontaneous wonder and praise from a friend.
-"The Six Napoleons," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
