* There is conflicting evidence as to whether Literature/SherlockHolmes is a real person in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' universe.
** The ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'' novel ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresAllConsumingFire All-Consuming-Fire]]'' has the Seventh Doctor team up with Holmes. It also retcons many of the Ancient Evils of the Franchise/{{Whoniverse}} into the beings of the Cthulhu Mythos (Fenric is Hastur, the Great Intelligence is Yog-Sothoth, the Nestene Consciousness is the offspring of Shub-Niggurath, and so on).
** However, the Literature/DoctorWhoMissingAdventures novel ''Evolution'', from the same era of the franchise and the same publisher, depicts the Fourth Doctor meeting a young Arthur Conan Doyle and implies that many of Holmes's characteristics were based on him.
** The ''Literature/FactionParadox'' novel ''Erasing Sherlock''[[note]]The first edition. The second edition, from a different publisher, removes all explicit ''Faction Paradox'' and ''Doctor Who'' references to turn it into a stand-alone SF novel.[[/note]] features Holmes as a real person who the Celestis attempt to erase from existence. The short story "The Book of the Enemy", in the anthology of the same title, depicts Holmes as being an originally real person who was transformed into fiction by a reality-warping book.
** On the TV show, several stories in the Creator/StevenMoffat era implied that the Holmes stories were fictionalisations of the in-universe exploits of Vastra and Jenny, with their gender and relationship, and Vastra's species, changed to be more acceptable in the nineteenth century. The episode "The Crimson Horror" is blatantly indicated to be the in-universe story behind Watson's reference to "The Repulsive Story of the Red Leech", one of the many NoodleIncident adventures in the Conan Doyle series.
** Creator/BigFinish has produced some audio dramas featuring Creator/NicholasBriggs as Holmes, which include a crossover with the AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho continuity in the anthology ''The Worlds of Big Finish'', and an audio adaptation of the aforementioned ''All-Consuming Fire''.

This is, of course, a Literature/SherlockHolmes quote. Since Holmes is established as fictional in other ''Franchise/StarTrek'' media, fans usually interpret this as Spock declaring himself to be a descendant of Creator/ArthurConanDoyle.
