Having seen it all now, I have to agree, they are great together. Ian Hart did a wonderful job as Watson. I always like it when writers remember that Watson is a person of normal intelligence, not an idiot. He's perfectly capable, he's just not Sherlock Holmes. Except Ian Hart runs like a muppet. It made me giggle. He is badass with a gun, though and the whole exchange getting Holmes out of the mire was great and so them.

They did a great job on the pacing too. Some of the older productions I cannot get through because it seems so slow. I'm a product of my generation, I suppose, but after ten minutes of people sitting around looking at each other, I tend to go 'happen! something happen!'
