Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective that ever existed. Nowhere in the universe would you find another who shares his singular ability to deduce the truth. And there's his friend Dr. Watson. This joke centres on Watson's attempt to out-deduce Holmes himself. You might have heard this joke before, but it's never been told like this. Learn dozens of new words and expressions in English and have a good laugh at the same time. I'm sure Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have approved of this English lesson. There is a fabulous new-style audio-visual quiz to go with this video. Find it at the links above and below. Incidentally, this video was made in response to a request from E5D7S a student from Poland. | http://linguaspectrum.com/lessons/language_lessons/sherlock_holmes/

  • i m not so fluent in English,but however seems like the definition for 'dust' is wrong..it says 'fine powered material that is easily blown about'.is must be corrected as 'fine powdered' right??i don't know exactly,just check and see..

    however a great video!i enjoyed it a lot!

  • @MrKasunRox Yes, it should be powdered. It must be a typo. Thanks for being so attentive.

    Best wishes,

    Richard

  • I suspect the laugh track is partly to clue in people who are watching to learn English that this is a joke. I suspect the other part is irony. :)

  • @wyvern734 Indubitably my dear wyvern734.

  • Thanks to everyone for watching and commenting.

  • unnecessary Laugh track
