phones. He knew he wasn't supposed to have it, so when he heard us
coming, he got rid of it as quickly as possible...into the kitchen

Who would have guessed that Roger Daltry, lead vocalist and founder of The Who, would wind up giving voice to a friendly dragon named Argon in the award-winning DVD series The Wheels on the Bus? 
The danger in writing a review of anything Sherlock Holmes related -- book, movie, DVD, video game, board game, card game, con game, action figures, play sets, makeup kits, mobile phones, meerschaum pipes, drain snakes or home chemistry sets -- is the temptation to lapse into cliched references to the great detective.
