FROM ACD TO BBC “A Scandal in Bohemia” is as much about disguises and masks as this episode is.

In that story, Watson writes of Holmes that “the stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when he became a specialist in crime.”

When the King of Bohemia arrives at Holmes’s flat, he first tries to hide his identity from Holmes, but the sleuth sees through it instantly and forces him to remove his mask, just as a nearly naked Sherlock insists at Buckingham Palace that they reveal the name of his client.

Holmes is disguised as a drunken groom when he gets hauled into Adler’s wedding, and just as Sherlock dresses up as a priest who’s been beaten up in the street, Holmes arrives at Adler’s door dressed as a clergyman. He doesn’t need Watson to punch him in the face because he stops a purse-snatching in the street and gets roughed-up in the process (though he does add fake blood).
