Why did David Burke leave the Sherlock Holmes series?
Burke left Granada's series of Sherlock Holmes stories between The Final Problem and The Empty House because he felt the show was causing him to spend too much time away from his family. He was replaced with Edward Hardwicke, who carried out the character of Watson until the very end, even portraying him again with Jeremy Brett (Holmes) onstage.
What was Sherlock Holmes education like?
By his own account, Sherlock Holmes attended university for two years, meaning he had a more than adequate education. The details of his education apart from that are not included in the canon, however, apart from Holmes' statement that his area of study was different from most of the other students. (My personal theory is that he studied chemistry at Oxford, which is more of a history/English school, as opposed to Cambridge, known for maths and science, but that's just me.)
Where did Sherlock Holmes die?
In the books and most movies, Prof. Moriarty (his arch nemesis) and Holmes fall off the Reichenbach Falls. Sherlock survives, but Moriarty dies. The only reason Conan Doyle killed him off was because he grew tired of the character and the series, and it was distracting him from other projects. He brought back Sherlock Holmes because fans of Holmes got angry and forced Conan Doyle to bring him back. In the BBC modern-day adaptation of Sherlock, Moriarty tells Sherlock that he will kill Sherlock's friends is Sherlock does not kill himself. This exchange occurs on top of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Moriarty shoots himself in the head, and then Sherlock jumps to his apparent death. At the very end of the episode, it is shown that Sherlock is still alive.

Did Sherlock Holmes ever have a girlfriend?
He was engaged to Charles Augustus Milverton's housemaid. At the end of 'The Adventure of the Copper Beeches,' Watson writes "As to Miss Violet Hunter, my friend Holmes, rather to my disappointment, manifested no further interest in her when once she had ceased to be the centre of one of his problems." Holmes does not show any sign that he had a girlfriend before he met Watson. Most of the time he has a suspicious air towards women based on the fact that he states more then once that you can't trust them. Some of the film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes show that he does, like Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) and the latest Sherlock Holmes film staring Robert Downey Jr. (2009) In the 2009 film, a character called Irene Adler is added to the story to be the romantic interest for Holmes. This character was taken from one of Conan Doyle's short stories called A Scandal in Bohemia. In that story Holmes ventures in a disguise to Irene's home in search of an important photograph. The story is interesting and Irene's character is memorable because of the fact that she ends up being the only woman ever to outwit Holmes. As it turns out Holmes is impressed by the lady and keeps a photograph of her in memory of the case. Although a lot of people over the years exaggerate upon Irene Adler and Holmes, in the original story there is nothing to suspect a romantic relationship ever happening. In the story Irene marryies a man and leaves England. This character was never fully brought up again in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Save only by name.

Why is Watson's wife no longer referred to in the later Sherlock Holmes stories?
After Watson and Holmes meet in 'The Adventure of the Empty House,' Watson writes the following: "In some manner he had learned of my own sad bereavement, and his sympathy was shown in his manner rather than in his words." We are left to assume that he is referring to his late wife who is indeed never mentioned again.
What are some good mystery books for teens?
Sherlock Holmes Sherlock Holmes is a great detective and just individual altogether. He was thrown off the team however after he was arrested for the following; Drug Possession Driving Under the Influence and Planking in a McDonald's playplace in New York. He is frequently seen at Bieber concerts though in a wife beater and dress pants. Word on the street is that Sherlock Holmes is trying to become a detective again, as he secretly tries to solve Global Warming. That being said, a good mystery book is The Diary of Anne Frank --- Nobody knows where she is a hiding, that's the real mystery.
