A modern update finds the famous sleuth and his doctor partner solving crime in 21st century London.

When John first broached the subject of being best man, I was confused. I confess at first I didn't realise he was asking me. When finally I understood, I expressed to him that I was both flattered and surprised. I explained to him that I'd never expected this request and I was a little daunted in the face of it. I nonetheless promised I would do my very best to accomplish a task which was, for me, as demanding and difficult as any I had ever contemplated. Additionally, I thanked him for the trust he placed in me and indicated that I was, in some ways, very closed to being moved by it. It later transpired that I'd said none of this out loud.

— We had nothing else to go on, until we met other children.
— Oh, yes, that was a mistake. Ghastly. What were they thinking off?
— Probably something about trying to make friends.
— Oh, yes. Friends. Of course, you go in for that sort of thing now.
— And you don't? Ever?
— If you seem slow to me, Sherlock, can you imagine what real people are like? I'm living in a world of goldfish.
— Yes, but I've been away for two years.
— So?
— Oh, I don't know, I thought perhaps you must have found yourself a... goldfish.
