IA, but neither Huxtable nor Lestrade is supposed to be particularly likeable. And as to Wilson, why yes he's ridiculous (and they laugh at him, which happens to be one of the most adorable scenes in the Canon), but IDK if it would be bad to be described this way?..

Maybe it would. I can see where the OP is coming from. But ultimately it is a matter of a character's role in the story rather than their intelligence. In Doyle's works, there are different ways to be "stupid" that are all parts of different character types, and not all of them are bad.

Lestrade? I don't know...in later stories especially Lestrade seems to be meant to be pretty likeable IMO. Watson picked that lovely little speech he gave and Holmes being all touched by it to put at the denouement of the Six Napoleons and all :)

Perhaps the OP is afraid they'd come off as unlikeable, or something?

[dreemyweird]

You're right; Lestrade isn't that simple. And yes, being portrayed as unlikeable is a legitimate concern. I just wanted to try and comfort the OP by saying that it isn't about intelligence per se, it's more about the overall impression [at least in Holmes's case].

I love the Granada version of The Six Napoleons. Lestrade is all these are my feels and Holmes kicks him out (but is really happy).

Also, Granada Lestrade has many different and hilarious ways of saying Mr Hoooolmes.
