“I think the steak and kidney pie. What say you, Watson?”
“I say that you go directly from ‘miraculous recovery from melodramatic wasting disease’ to ‘death by grievous gastrointestinal assault.’ For goodness sake, Holmes, start with a consommé!”
“I shan’t. The claret and biscuits had a negligible effect. And you’re wrong.”
“About?”
“It being melodramatic. Melodramatic would’ve been going blind.”

I do think Watson has earned the chance to have his say. Definitely veering towards soap opera:-p

Yeah, he'll have to be doctor to Holmes's tummy troubles when the steak and kidney pie tries to make its way through a weakened gut.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that's what's going to happen, but if it does, I can't see how it will be as Clever as the show creators think they are.
