Basil had a lot of the superficial trapping of what people think of when they think of Sherlock Holmes, i.e. the wardrobe and superior attitude. But that's hardly the extent of book!Sherlock's character. ACD Holmes wouldn't have turned away a child, and a small female one at that. He would also never fall into a self-pitying funk in the middle of a case. Between cases because he's bored? Absolutely. But during a case that isn't even close to being resolved? Absolutely not.

You have to look beyond the surface and the deerstalker. Basil is inspired by Sherlock Holmes, but he definitely isn't the closest to book!Holmes among the adaptations in question. Even Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock comes closer, and that's saying a lot.
