I always think that the Holmes of canon is really.. quite happy. He laughs and jokes and delights in the ridiculous. He’s almost never austere or rude. He’s described as having an easy manner; good with people, polite, witty, kind.. ‘You’re too kind’ is said so often. 

Why is he always portrayed and played as so austere and cold? 

There’s a list of everytime Holmes emoted happily, done by one of the elder sherlockians. But yeah, canon holmes is very nice, very good with people. It’s why many people who studied the canon for so long prefer elementary to sherlock, and why Granada’s series is so spot on.

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce star as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in “The Night Before Christmas.” The duo first portrayed the characters in 1939′s The Hound of the Baskervilles. The film’s success led to a series of Sherlock Holmes films and The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes on radio, which aired from 1939 until 1946.
