Over the years, we have seen plenty of shows revolving around Sherlock Holmes. And one of them was Enola Holmes. While season one mainly followed the story of Brown AKA Enola, the second season gave us a deeper insight into the life of Sherlock. And Cavill kept the Sherlock gag running similar to BBC TV series Sherlock, where in Benedict Cumberbatch starred as the detective. In the BBC’s series, the detective keeps forgetting the first name of another popular character from the show, Greg Lestrade.

He called him with various names, starting with G, such as Gavin, Graham, and Giles, but never with his correct name. Similarly, even in the Enola Holmes version of Lestrade, when Lestrade visits Sherlock in his flat, he tells the detective that his first name is Graydon. However, similar to the previous versions of the character, Cavill is likely to forget his name.
