Reccer's Comments: This venerable video, crafted in the infancy of YouTube, introduced me to the very concept of slash pairings. It's also, I think, a beautiful tribute to the dynamics of the Holmes-Watson dyad in the Granada series. This captures their whimsy, their affection, their deep attachment... and, of course, the fact that they're most fully alive in each other's presence. Also, I find the way the song's rhythms and lyrics have been matched to the excerpted scenes to be charming. I return to it often.
