Incorrect 'Did you know?' entry[edit]

The entry for this page that appeared in the 'Did you know?' column on Wikipedia's main page on 1 March 2012, shown in the template above, was incorrect. The entry said that "only Reginald Owen, Carleton Hobbs, and Jeremy Brett, and Patrick Macnee have portrayed both Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson professionally", but this was inaccurate because other actors such as Howard Marion-Crawford also played both roles. I corrected the text about this in this article. Miles26 (talk) 03:00, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
