Popular Culture References To Sherlock Holmes

Many writers make references to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous literary creation, the detective Sherlock Holmes, and these often become embedded within popular culture. While Holmes exists predominately in the context of Victorian-era London, he has been mentioned in such outre contexts as the 22nd century or hunting aliens or supernatural enemies. The versions of Holmes usually wear the deer-stalker hat shown only a few in the original Strand pictures, as opposed to the far more common top hat, and frequently they say 'Elementary my dear ' to another character.
