What did Watson do before he joined Sherlock Holmes?
Dr. John H. Watson was an army doctor in the second Afghan war (1878-1880). In the BBC series, he was an army doctor in the British Army in modern day Afghanistan before he joined Holmes.
Was Holmes closer to Dr Watson or his brother Mycroft?
It would be Doctor Watson. It was a long time before Watson even discovered that Holmes had a brother. Mycroft did not travel outside of his club or office, so they visited him there.
Did Watson help Sherlock Holmes with all his cases?
No. 'The Gloria Scott' and 'The Musgrave Ritual' were solved by Holmes before the two even met, and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane' and 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' were cases written by Holmes after Watson was married. There are certainly other cases in which Watson had no hand.When Helen Stoner ('The Adventure of the Speckled Band') refers to the case of Mrs. Farintosh and her opal tiara by way of reference, Holmes says: "I think it was before your time, Watson."In 'The Adventure of the Second Stain,' Watson says that in 17 of the 23 years that Sherlock Holmes was in active practice, he "was allowed to co-operate with him and to keep notes of his doings" leaving six years where the two were not together.
What was Sherlock Holmes' professional title?
The great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, described himself as the world's first Consulting Detective. "Well, I have a trade of my own. I suppose I am the only one in the world. I'm a consulting detective, if you can understand what that is." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'A Study In Scarlet'
How does Holmes speak to Watson?
Sherlock Holmes speaks to Watson as if he was Sherlock's student. But then again Watson really is his student--he follows him around on his cases and learns from him by watching him use his deductive reasoning and observation skills. Hardly ever will you find a scenario where Sherlock speaks kindly or with feeling towards Watson. Watson even described him once as an "unfeeling robot set to solve crimes and shun the monotony of life." But of few of the quotes in which a little of Sherlock's inner self shines through include the following: -"Come, friend Watson, the curtain rings up for the last act." -"Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper `Norbury` in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you." -"[Watson and I] also have our diplomatic secrets." -"This is my dear friend and associate, Doctor Watson--the sole of discretion, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself." -"If you had killed Watson, you would not have made it out of this room alive."
How was the reappearance of Sherlock Holmes explained?
In "The Adventure of the Empty House" (in the collection "The Return of Sherlock Holmes") Sherlock Holmes explains to Watson what happened at the Reichenbach Falls, where he and Professor Moriarty supposedly died. I recommend reading the story (it's on the Internet if you can't get to your public library) but, to rush over it : Mr. Holmes used a technique of Japanese martial arts he called baritsu to overpower the Professor. Moriarty went over the falls. Holmes managed to elude Moriarty's number two man, Col. Moran, and flee. He told Watson that he travelled to Lhasa (sp?) [I believe its in modern Nepal], then spent time in France doing chemical research before returning to England to put away Col. Moran.
