This is quite possibly the funniest episode of the series...love the by-play in the embassy!

Howard and Crawford - nice series of Holmes and Watson impersonations, with added humour and a soupcon of English charm - just enough to catch a well trained dive bombing Queen bee - just before the baby arrives by special delivery - perfect opportunity for the timeless rendition of male stereotyping and then, of course, we have the specialist in-put of Scotland Yard. It's refreshing to have a Watson that isn't a bumbling idiot. - the plot thickens ............................ very inventive stuff

I like it when Holmes and Watson kick ass and take names....

Imagine watching these episodes in a cozy cabin in the woods by a crackling fireplace in Maine during the Christmas season. This was my introduction to this series some years ago. I have loved it since and continue to enjoy it over again.

So much easier to be authentic when it was filmed only 50 years or so after the period. Plenty of original cobbled streets and gas lamps.

This now 63 year old series (it is now December 2017) never ceases to amaze me how good it was when produced. The plots, pacing, and acting are all top-notch. It compares favorably if not better than the television offerings of today. This episode maintains the high production values of the other episodes in this fine series.

Despite the same actors playing multiple roles and appearing in episode after episode it’s not a problem as each time they play their part/s so very well, In fact it’s nice to see them, I love this series. The connection between Holmes and Watson is so endearing and Watson iso intrepid and Lastrade so inept yet likeable.

He played the character Reginald Kincaid-a drunk actor, who was hired by Dr. Watson (Ben Kingsley) to pretend he was Sherlock Holmes in the 1988 movie Without A Clue. I have a VHS copy of this rather funny movie. That he why Caine is not on my list of actors who actually played Holmes.

Paul Durand Always seems to capture just great moon with his excellent scoring of the background music. His sensitive selection and use of the orchestral instruments is unobtrusive, appropriate to the action and still supportive of the production. What a talent!

Refreshing to watch a whimsical episode :)

Lovely and lighthearted:). When I started watching the series, I wasn't sure if the short episodes would work ( am watching this series after another with Jeremy Brett as Holmes). However, it's lovely: frequently lighthearted, well-written, excellent performance by both Howard and Marion-Crawford:). It certainly stands the test of time (it is 70 years old now:).

Possibly my fav episode.

@Ria “There’s a scene in this episode which reminds me of the film The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).” Ditto. I thought the same even before I found your comment. I’ve given you a thumb-up, and I wouldn’t have replied with a comment of my own but for the fact that nobody else so far has done so. Spoiler alert: Just for the record and for those of us who haven’t yet made the connection, the relevant scene in this Sherlock Holmes movie starts at 18:23 when Watson whistles _Rule Britannia_ in the hope that the baby, in another room of the same building according to Watson and Holmes’s theory, will hear it and start crying as it did in the earlier scene when Watson invited Holmes to “sing it a lullaby” while Holmes was cradling the baby in his arms and the “lullaby” that Holmes chose to sing was _Rule Britannia._ In _The Man Who Knew Too Much_ the foreign prime minister (played by Alexis Bobrinskoy) asks the holidaying popular singer Jo McKenna (Doris Day) to sing _Que Sera Sera_ loudly in the hope that she’ll be heard by the McKennas’ kidnapped child Hank (Christopher Olsen) who’s reckoned to be in another room of the same building. In that other room Jo is duly heard by Hank and by Lucy Drayton (Brenda de Banzie), the co-conspirator who has developed a conscience, and so Lucy persuades Hank to start singing the song to tell his mother that he’s in the building.

+Randy Wiggins I am also delighted that I found this series. They are well cast and the pacing is excellent for a half hour TV show. What I don't understand with this one is why the supposed invention of a submersible ship (submarine) seems so novel in this time period. Submersibles were used in the War of 1812, or was it the Revolutionary War? ; i.e. the Merrimac and the Monitor. So silly of me that I've forgotten which one is was first used. Of course, they would continue to be perfected, but Lestrade acted like he had never *heard* of such a thing. This is the only glitch I've found.

@markparks1854

The Monitor and the Merrimack were iron ships not submersibles. This is the time period that they were trying to design the more modern submarine with motor and crew.

4:19 “Holmes, you never told me.” “I haven’t got one!” 😂

Watson reading Punch as the episode begins...was that foreshadowing? Never saw them hit so many people! Not that there's anything wrong with that - on a case-by-case basis.

Those were the good old days when bad guys only bop you on the head . They never shoot or stab you. Certainly wouldn't kill you.

Maybe because they potray him as more younger version because in one of the eps Holmes can't really play violin, different with the original. So it might be their reason to make him like it but nevertheless i love their little "practice" sk comedic

There was an American movie "Three Men and a Baby", based on a French film "Trois Mecs et Un Coussin". Just sayin'!! :)

Dr. Watson the Boxer, funny.

I'm surprised that Holmes didn't take out his violin and try to kill the bee with hitting a certain note as he did with flies! I like all of the action in this one! But, that's not the correct way to punch someone, though I know that was the fighting style back in the late 1800s.

Watson pulls back slightly while slowly helping open the basket Mwa: "It's alright Watson she won't hurt you."

That was too easy for Holmes and Watson.

This tv series so wonderful. Like them all, it steers off course from Conan Doe a bit. The great constable who experiments chemistry with Holmes an axample. I don't remember this guy in Conan Doyle's worlks - am I fogeting a case? PS> doesn"t hold a candle to Jeremy Brett!!!!

New fan here....how did they get paid???

this is the story that the Disney " the great mouse detective" is based on- inventor, child safety of England's military power , but most of all the analysis of the paper as the only clue

Technique awakens physics..

I know he supposed to be Baritsu master or a boxer but they potray him more younger or comedic in a way that it still him. So like amateur violin player and can't really throw a punch, it's like still learning in a way.

Ok, so the count made it clear that his gang holding the family didn’t know about the message of pulling the sash. This is obvious when he told butler to inform them on what to do…so Watson n Holmes could have over powered the count and wimpy butler even if he pulled cord.
