Mrs. Hudson
Una Stubbs
Una Stubbs’s Mrs. Hudson kept Sherlock’s Baker Street human while Cumberbatch and Freeman turned texting-era London into a global double act.

TV Flash files her as 2010s mystery craft: the landlady as weather, not a punchline in a flat.

A Study in Pink launches Cumberbatch and Freeman as a GIF-age double act — movie-length BBC/PBS, on-screen texts, modern Doyle — that is s01e01, the door. s02e01 keeps the hour fluent: A Scandal in Belgravia is the glamour-hour Doyle remix — Adler as fandom sport, New Year event television at movie scale. Later, s04e03: The Final Problem spends the last hostage situation: hiatus culture finally gets a named ending, not another wait. Codes as a map. Plant Stubbs as Mrs. Hudson there and the turn still shows.
