* "The Copper Beeches": "You are always in a disputatious mood when you choose that pipe!"
* Watson and Holmes (especially Watson) bursting out into hysterical laughter while listening to their client in "The Red-Headed League." An added bonus is that this was their reaction in the original Arthur Conan Doyle story.
* Jeremy Brett's depictions of Holmes as a hyperactive misfit in general (i.e. jumping over the sofa to call Watson back into the room during "The Red-Headed League"). Portraying Holmes as quirky is nothing new, but Brett's were incredibly well done.
** At the end of another episode Holmes is so hyped up at having solved a case neatly that he actually ''jumps for joy'' shouting "Wha-hey!"
* In "The Resident Patient", Holmes tore his office up and flung papers all around trying to find some information. Watson came in and calmly went to a file box and showed Holmes the information he was looking for.
