* On both occasions of their meeting the Doctor and his associates (and during the various references to said meetings) it is suggested that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are not in fact their real names, but the pseudonyms used in the fictional stories written about them.

* The television story ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'' suggested that stories of Holmes and Watson were inspired by the adventures of [[Madame Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], which might imply that Jenny was the "real" John Watson within the context of the ''Doctor Who'' universe. The reference book ''The Secret Lives of Monsters'' includes an excerpt from a book called ''A Study in Green'' in which Vastra, Jenny and [[Strax]] encounter Holmes and Watson. Jenny bought all 200 copies of the book to keep it off the shelves. | * The television story ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'' suggested that stories of Holmes and Watson were inspired by the adventures of [[Madame Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], which might imply that Jenny was the "real" John Watson within the context of the ''Doctor Who'' universe.

* Within the Sherlock Holmes canon, Watson is referred to as "James" in the story {{wi|The Man with the Twisted Lip}}.
