What's funny about that last one - well, not funny, pretty moving actually - is that at the end of series 3 they had a running joke about how they should end the show on a sad note the way Blackadder did. Then they somehow still manage to catch you off guard there. Brilliant writing.

That final scene is amazing, i genuinely shed tears every time i see that sketch. they genuinely become their roles: a once great but now mentally ravaged man who is painfully aware of his own dementia and physical decline and his long time loving friend, already mourning who and what Holmes used to be and speechless both at the decline of such a genius and his own inability to do anything for his pained and lost friend. superb acting.

A great example of why the right to die at a time of one's choosing needs to be enshrined in law, if not the Constitution. It's inarguably a human right. We only think otherwise because the Church hijacked it as a method of control, as it did with sex and, well, everything else. Only fools and horses work, as the priestly class surely never has.

I've watched this again for a second time now, and I must say I'm pushed to tears when Holmes has a moment of clarity in his state of dementia. It's just so deep; so sad; so human. And to be honest, it also shows off the serious side of acting that Mitchell and Webb are able to perform. It's a beautiful way to end the series. Love it even more than the first time I watched it! :)

What a performance in the Sherlock sketch. Still gets me everytime. There's something so fantastic about it, the shared history of the character we all have, and just the instant relationship we know. We understand the situation so quickly, and its funny because it's funny, and then truly heartbreaking because it is. A best friend looking on and trying his best. "I know John" kills me every time. And if shows they both have acting and writing chops.

I visited a friend brain-damaged by a virus two years earlier. She rarely spoke sense, mumbled mostly, very forgetful, and kind of simple. Before the illness she owned and managed a business with dozens of employees. After lunch we left her husband and children and went outside to sit in the sun. She sat with her head down, saying nothing. After a few minutes she looked up and said, "I know what has happened to me." It was the first and only coherent statement I heard her make.

I'm very sorry for your loss. My grandfather had some variety of early-onset dementia. It was gut-wrenching and terrifying to watch him drift further every day from who he had once been, and to know there wasn't one god-damned thing you could do to help. One really hopes they don't know. The only thing I can imagine that would be worse than having everything you are stripped inexorably from you bit by bit would be having an awareness of the cruel disrespect of the process as it happened.

I first saw the Sherlock Holmes sketch not long after my Nan had been put into a home with dementia. We were very close, everyone in the family knew I was her favourite grandchild so it hit me pretty hard. Some days were better than others when I would visit her but it was always difficult. In her final hours, we could she was struggling but I was able to make her laugh with a personal joke we had and tell her I loved her before she went. It was about as close to a perfect final goodbye one could have. I miss her dearly every day but her positivity right to the end inspires me to continue to appreciate every single day. Love you forever Nan.

After Holmes told him he's aware of his condition, Watson's reaction was the last bit needed to start shedding tears. All his efforts to keep his dear friend into some kind of ignorance about his own mind fading away, crushed. Lived that too. The worst part about having him slowly leaving this world was him knowing. The rest of it didn't really matter as long as he could be unburdened, even for a few minutes. I remember being constantly bothered about wether he was thinking about death. He didn't talk much. What was his mind at ? That last sketch is the most unconmfortable bit I've seen from them. But it's like staring right into humanity.

Milstein is probably the violinist, sad that the piano player didn't get a mention 🧐 That's the trouble with classical music and apps like Shazam, it doesn't fit the "artist/album/track" format because composer and performers are different things.

@Libby7 That was kinda the point I think, I see it as a homage to the final episode of Blackadder. The humor dries away and the full reality of the situation comes to the forefront. The audience has to mentally adapt all of a sudden. Gently hoping for the next brilliant joke, which never manifests. Though I would say BA did it "better", it's almost daft to compare the two. Both are unique in their own ways.
