Bruce starred as Dr. Watson alongside Basil Rathbone in the 1930's and 40's, portraying him as a slightly common-spoken character to contrast Rathbone's very upper class diction.</p> <p>During 'Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror' (1942), Holmes and Watson are served with tea and muffins by Mrs Hudson, and are debating the case when Watson believes he has made a breakthrough they should rush to investigate immediately.</p> <p>The ever-superior Holmes knows that Watson is barking up the wrong tree, and toys with him a little, saying "But I've only just started Mrs Hudson's muffin, Watson" to which the Doctor replies a little petulantly and urgently "Well nosh it, Sherlock!" </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=31950#post-91083 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:45:51 +0000 John Ffitch-Rucker 91083@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Actually, in my first edition copy of ‘Hound of The Baskervilles’ Doctor Watson used that exact phrase to express scepticism regarding the existence of the dog. It was in response to Holmes’ query “why don’t you believe in the hound, Watson?" </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=31950#post-91082 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 08:44:14 +0000 The All New Jeni B 91082@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It didn't?</p> <p>No shit! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=31950#post-91062 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 07:15:13 +0000 Golgo13 91062@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Bit of trivia for you here, the phrase "No shit, Sherlock" did not actually appear in any of the Conan Doyle stories.
