Why Sherlock Never Remembers Lestrade’s First Name

Among the most democratic modern adaptations of Sherlock Holmes and society is the BBC ’s TV seriesSherlock , starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the title eccentric andMartin Freeman as John Watson . Sherlockbrought the Great Detective to the advanced twenty-four hours , adapt some of his most famous cases to forward-looking technology and more , and it made way for a running joke demand Lestrade ( Rupert Graves ) . ThroughoutSherlock , the detective could n’t remember Lestrade ’s first name , and he call him dissimilar names that set out with “ G ” , such as Gavin , Graham , and Giles . Sherlockconfirmed that Lestrade ’s first name is Greg , and Sherlock did call him by his actual name at some breaker point .

InEnola Holmes 2 , Cavill ’s Sherlock does the same with this world ’s variant of Lestrade . In the panorama where Lestrade visits Sherlock at his flat at 221 Baker Street , he enquire the detective if he can call him “ Sherlock ” , and the police detective remains quiet . Lestrade narrate him his name is Graydon and meander about his father believing it to be a distinguished name – however , as much as Lestrade tried , it ’s improbable Sherlock will call back it . Sherlock Holmes not remembering Lestrade ’s name inSherlockandEnola Holmesis a reference to the books by Arthur Conan Doyle , in which Lestrade is look up to as “ G. Lestrade ” , and his name is never revealed .

Sherlock not think of Lestrade ’s name is not the only reference to Conan Doyle ’s works inEnola Holmes 2 . Enola finding a intoxicated Sherlock is a extension to his pith abuse ( though in the books he ’s a cocaine substance abuser ) , the fabled 221B flat in Baker Street made its first appearance in the continuation , and it introduced two key character from Sherlock Holmes ’ story : Moriarty ( Sharon Duncan - Brewster ) and John Watson ( Himesh Patel ) . Although theEnola Holmesmovies focus on the youngest Holmes sibling , they will inevitably havereferences to the Sherlock Holmes Quran , and with Watson and Moriarty now part of this macrocosm , there will surely be more in potential sequels .
