Me doing any basic task:
Watson looking after his husband yet again:
Holmes throwing his newspaper because Watson isn't giving him attention:
(Also I had to add Watson's little head bobs at the start)
"I know my husband - I MEAN my friend is near just from the type of cigarette he smokes...
...also don't shoot me, thnx 😘"

The 1976 adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray with Jeremy Brett as Basil Hallward.
Basil was one of my favourite characters in the novel so seeing Jeremy play him actually healed my soul a little bit.
However, did you know Jeremy Brett actually portrayed Dorian himself in The Picture of Dorian Gray (Season 5, episode 20) episode of Armchair Theatre in 1961? Haven't found any footage, but there are some photographs:
Edit: Aaaaand the reason why no footage can be found is because there is none! Zilch! It's disappeared without a trace! According to Wikipedia, many episodes of Armchair Theatre were lost and this particular episode was amongst them. Jeremy Brett's Dorian... completely lost to time... *sheds a tear*

Holmes helping Watson impress Lestrade with his deductions:
I love how Watson looks so proud of himself 😂
Watson being authoritative... and Holmes liking it:
Okay so Holmes enjoys being ordered about, got it 👍🏻
Just two husbands enjoying their evening together and flirting...
...there is no heterosexual explanation for this
He looks so uncomfortable 🥺
But some truly remarkable acting from Jeremy here. Holmes isn't used to receiving gratitude in such an intimate way, not even wanting to touch her hand for very long. It's almost as though we see Holmes try to calibrate what he should do in real time, his arm going around to hold her but stopping himself. We see him pry her off gently, and he then realises he's holding this young lady's hand. So he proceeds to flick it away. With a mute apology, he distances himself from her, preferring to stand at the window and have his back to his guests. It all happens very quickly.
I'm not entirely sure why Holmes reacts this way, but it's very characteristic of him.
Watson looking after his husband aGAIN (featuring Holmes being a drama queen):
Looook, they holdin hands
NOOO Watson, give him back his tea!
He didn't even get to take his sip 💀
Holmes making animal sounds part 3:
In relation to this post, we see Holmes wrap his robe around himself again here as he's looking out of the window at Moriarty:
It isn't very often that we see Holmes look so vulnerable, and this act of covering himself with his robe is something we see twice with not even 5 minutes between each instance. This action is also not one of Holmes' usual mannerisms. Holmes has a very open gesture most of the time, emphasising his carefree attitude and disregard for... basically everyone and everything 🤣.
Yet, here, Holmes is uncomfortable and afraid. And it is Moriarty who has frightened him.
Despite Holmes' discomfort, he still has a clear hatred in his eyes that we've never observed before from him. But it's hard to tell whether Holmes' anger is due to Moriarty's history of crime or because Moriarty was actually able to alarm him.
