and Doctor Who franchises to see which
is superior

more great content round one cultural
impact what’s microfiche absolute work
the influence of Sherlock Holmes on
popular culture and fiction as a whole
is tremendous in fact you’d be
hard-pressed to find a person who
haven’t heard of Sherlock Holmes the
characters fame is such that some people
believed he was actually a real person
and admitted you totally used his name
as equipped when someone says something
a little too obvious it’s Elementary
dear Dana the character and his stories
have influenced countless fictional
works since their creation with the
great detective even holding the
Guinness World Record for most portrayed
movie character in history so there were
intellectual heroes before him Sherlock
is perhaps the most enduring and popular
example of the archetype hey God what is
it like in financial engines because
Bullock when compared to Sherlock Holmes
doctor whose legacy is younger at a
little over fifty years old the
franchise has simply had less time to
seep into the public consciousness
despite its rough start first airing in
the midst of the coverage of president
john f kennedy’s assassination in
November of 1963 the show has gone from
cult phenomenon to global obsession
because doctor who belongs to all of us
the revival in 2005 skyrocketed the
merchandise sales for the franchise with
who viens buying every TARDIS blanket
adipose plush and sonic screwdriver
universal remote they could get their
hands on it had significant influence on
much of British television particularly
sci-fi programs and many aspects from
its villains to its theme song are
considered iconic
so doctor who has undeniable influence
we are giving this round to Sherlock
Holmes whose effects on the world are
truly incalculable winner Sherlock
Holmes was that right I was wasn’t I
round two stories my dad was always
going on another things evidence a
pacifist the type of almost everything
it may seem difficult to believe but Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle only wrote for
Sherlock Holmes novels along with 56
short stories and when it comes to Conan
Doyle’s work the Devils in the details
I assume this Adler woman has some
compromising photographs very quickly
said his home stories always involve
little hints of how to solve the mystery
and in the end when it all comes
together it’s an ingenious work of art
whether he’s deciphering why a greedy
stepfather would unleash a poisonous
snake to off his stepdaughters or how a
redheaded pawn shop owner and a bank
robbery are connected Holmes process
fascinates us at every step writers in
all types of media have taken the
character of Sherlock Holmes putting him
into some truly unusual situations in
fact if the franchise has one weakness
it’s that there doesn’t seem to be any
mystery he can’t solve
maybe somebody who says cellphone
because of time spent in America you
remember John doctored whose influence
is also enormous whether it’s being used
as an educational tool or inspiring
science fiction franchises like alien
these stories have proven the
franchise’s staying power and value the
doctor has gotten into and out of a lot
of scrapes since 1963 facing baddies
like the Daleks Cybermen and the master
this time doctor there will be no
mistake I wouldn’t count on that over
the years he’s been given more and more
of a backstory with more attention being
given to his origins on Gallifrey as
well as the time war that makes him the
mysterious and tortured figure we see in
the revival about to your eyes oh I’m
being the doctor that is an enemy whose
stories themselves can be incredibly
varied as well with many incorporating
genres like action mystery and even
romance but as much as the doctor zany
exploits excite us sometimes the
storylines this Time Lord is thrown in
to seem a little contrived while doctor
who has an impressive number of quality
stories Sherlock Holmes has managed to
fire the imaginations of countless
people for twice as long so who knows
how far doctor who could go once it
turns 100 years old he transformed the
pain has commented life in tubing’s
tastic Beauty this was a tough call but
in the end we have to give it to
Sherlock Holmes winner Sherlock Holmes
actually okay that’s it round three
companions and allies that’s your
castrati no no bounds no throughout the
many adaptations of the character
Sherlock’s allies have remained pretty
consistent there’s Inspector Lestrade
mrs. Hudson his elder brother Mycroft
Holmes and his best friend biographer
and partner dr. John Watson you’re doing
a we both know what’s really going on
here face we do know I don’t we just
want to find a face so annoying
no Sherlock often acts like a lone wolf
his friends definitely bring out the
best in him with Watson in particular
sticking by a side to help motivate him
however while they do get their own
chances to shine in some interpretations
of the characters Sherlock’s allies are
usually relegated to emphasizing how
clever Sherlock is Chester did he do
that up in his travels through time and
space
the doctor has had many many travelling
companions from humans to aliens to
robot dogs named Cole is not a
Xmas capital like home the doctors
friends make him a better man as they
balance out his eccentricities and help
stop him from going too far
usually if you’re not listening to a
word because I am regardless LOC if
Tommy was still ever half right sure
sometimes it seems as though the
doctor’s companions are only there to
make him look good but don’t forget
they’re often given important roles in
both the doctor’s stories and in stories
of their own as several standout
companions have received their own
spin-off just as fans tune in to see the
doctor they also develop quite the
attachment for those he brings around in
his TARDIS
although Sherlock’s friends are iconic
in their own way the doctor’s companions
have managed to be there for him and as
a result they’re now considered every
bit as heroic as he is winner Doctor Who
[Music]
round four villain I’m gay did you like
a little touch with the underwear he
could have died people in all his years
solving mysteries Sherlock Holmes has
apprehended plenty of murderers and
other criminals his most recurring
nemesis at least outside of Conan Doyle
stories is Professor James Moriarty with
other memorable foes or marksman Colonel
Sebastian Moran blackmailer Charles
Augustus Milverton and femme fatale
Irene Adler though they have a
complicated relationship
I didn’t quote you on names I’m so sorry
I’m Sherlock’s best enemies challenge
his prestigious deductive skills
fortunately the master sleuth have got a
select few friends to help him when his
talents come up short or when his lack
of social skills might otherwise hold
him back who go to a wedding that’s the
question who would follow because of any
links get themselves through with it the
Doctor Who rogues gallery is positively
massive and its members have threatened
planets civilizations and even reality
itself everyone’s favorite wayward Time
Lord has faced everything from insane
computers to power-hungry businessmen to
entire alien races yo our soup area it’s
only one crispix you know dying however
the doctors most ardent foes include the
genocide all Daleks the emotionless
Cybermen and the master who is the
doctors Moriarty the doctors enemies are
a mainstay in the franchise because they
fire the imagination as much as the main
hero does and have helped turn Doctor
Who into the franchise it is today while
both sets of villains are iconic to
their franchises we feel that the
greater threat posed by the doctors foes
along with their greater numbers and
impact on the hooniverse secures them
this victory winner Doctor Who
I have seen them sacrifice today but
they’re pretty daunting doctor round
five here oh I wasn’t even at home
yesterday I was in Dublin am i 41 this
thing sure Oh Sherlock Holmes may be the
template for the modern detective but
he’s so much more than just an archetype
so his personality can vary somewhat
depending on the adaptation Sherlock is
generally a brilliant is socially
disinclined man whose intelligence often
leaves him separated from other people
except for his beloved Watson we’re
gonna schedule don’t thank me
Sherlock’s extraordinary sleuthing
skills and his difficulties interacting
with society have made him a perennial a
fascinating character as he’s
demonstrated that someone can still be a
hero even if they aren’t what most
people consider normal I am the most
unpleasant rude ignorant and all-round
obnoxious asshole that anyone could
possibly have the misfortune to meet to
keep things fresh year after year doctor
who has successfully incorporated
recasting their main hero as a plot
point as a Time Lord the doctor is a
two-hearted alien whose personality
shifts with every regeneration changing
his face as well as his fashion sense
this has allowed many different sides of
the character to be explored doesn’t
that scare you today he’s displayed
everything from warmth and kindness to
cold fury sometimes even within the same
episode in general however the doctor is
a courageous unpredictable and eccentric
protagonist whose greatest strength is
his ability to resolve conflicts without
resorting to violence and to fulfill the
promise of his chosen moniker he just
wants to make people better I never
would call that Sherlock Holmes has been
an influential character for well over a
century but during that time the
detective has rarely shown us anything
new because he’s proven himself to be a
well-rounded protagonist that is
constantly evolving and showing us
something new we have to award this
round and therefore the contest to the
doctor
winner dr. who and with that doctor who
secures an arrow the well-deserved win
