More "Old Holmes" Musings

Here are some more musings about that last sketch:

It felt misplaced. While Blackadder was a great situational comedy show that built up to the ending so that it felt appropriate. There was the one sketch in one episode prior to the last one with them talking about the meaning of that last scene of Blackadder. There was no proper built up for that sketch, it stood apart from the other sketches in that episode. It came unexpectedly.

It also seems to suggest it’s an end to the series, like the Blackadder scene. Another sketch in that same last episode had them talking about “branching out”? and moving on, because Peepshow was not going to be forever either. It sounded like they were slowly drifting apart to do things on their own.

It seems a quite logical choice. They’ve been working together for a very long time and they always made it quite clear the comedy part, the job part was the main reason to not blow it apart. Now they’re established, they finally can go their own way. I’m just guessing here.

So that Old Holmes sketch had a bit of a build up. The one sketch in ep 5 or 4, and that one sketch in ep 6. When Holmes was talking to Watson about “...not being able to clear the fog...” was he, David, talking about not being able to work together anymore?
