Sherlock Holmes as a media franchise gathers the vast body of film, radio, television, stage and game adaptations built on the fictional consulting detective created by British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes is known across these adaptations for the same core traits established in Doyle's stories, proficiency in observation, deduction and forensic science that borders on the fantastic, deployed while investigating cases for clients including Scotland Yard, generally alongside his companion and chronicler Dr. Watson. The character has been portrayed on screen more often than almost any other fictional human figure, spanning silent film shorts through modern television series and blockbuster films, sustaining one of the longest running and most frequently adapted media franchises in existence.
