Leslie asked Rohase Piercy:

If you had to choose a female actor to play Holmes or Watson, who would that be?

Rohase Piercy I'm thinking Helen Mirren would make a rather sleek, inscrutable older female Holmes - with possibly Anne Reid as Watson. Unless we're thinking cross dressing, in which case Holmes would have to be someone with a strong, challenging face - Tamsin Greig? Gemma Whelan might make a good Watson in that scenario - I was very impressed with her performance as 'A Perfect Gentleman' in the recent BBC series of monologues 'Queers'.
