[no, I don't know where this will end either - maybe by part 9?]

It's already a little odd that people whose native language is not English would embrace Shakespeare so much-but Holmes and Watson? Do you have any idea why?

I can imagine two scenarios - one, that these are the works that have been translated into nearly every language on earth, and two, that going to these places is a sign of Anglophilia. People do like detective stories, and there doesn't seem to be another fictional detective with the same pull as Holmes - I was never sure if that was how it seemed to me simply because I am English-speaking and grew up with the ACD canon. Perhaps you should go and solve the mystery yourself!
