I love both but i think that sherlock is just a bit better at almost everything
Whoooo!
ooh
come on, superwholock, pull it together, everyones good!
FUCK I ALWAYS LOSE FIRST FAMILY GUY LOST TO THE SIMPSONS THEN LOTR BEAT HARRY POTTER THEN THIS FUCK
Why does everything have to be a compition? Both are good.
When it comes to villains it's like asking are superman villains better or Batman villains. When you really think about it it is not so easy.
Disagree
No sense but always doctor who wins
NOOO I LOVE SHERLOCK!!! although i never watch doctor who
Very strange. They didn't show any of the Grenada episodes with the brilliant Jeremy Brett, they seemed to forget that Sherlock Holmes inspired House MD directly, and there is certainly an argument that The Doctor is inspired by Sherlock Holmes. Comparing a show with many episodes targeted at people of today versus trying to stick strictly to a 100 years plus character is also somewhat unfair. Also, it seems like cherry picking. There have been many bad or at least not top notch Doctors. The character varies hugely between actors and times.
Yea I love both so I just watched this for fun but it was verry Interesting. 🙂
I'm a massive Fan of both characters, I would say a draw. Because Sherlock has better stories than Doctor Who sometimes, and Doctor Who has better than Sherlock sometimes. Sherlock and The Doctor are quite iconic.
That quote is amazing."You are superior in only one way""What is that""You are better at dying."
Oh COME ON! This is totally apples and oranges. Sure Doctor Who is GREAT. It is one of my favorite shows. But Sherlock has been around for so long, he is the most depicted character in History. The Doctor never stood a chance here. Now if you mean modern Sherlock, that is the US movies and the BBC, then it is also unfair. Because then it is so obviously Doctor Who, as it has such a long legacy in comparison to that again. See how this doesn't really work? Both the Doctor and Sherlock would be able to explain this alot better. Simply put, the question itself is a logical fallacy.
I want Missy plotting with Moriarty and kissing while they do it
#superwholock everybody say Hi
While I love both of them I find it a bit hard to put these two characters to verse each other as Sherlock was one of the inspirations in creating the character of the Doctor apparently.
Why is this even a video? :-/
What does Doctor Who and Sherlock have in common other than a shitty ass Wholock fandom?
I VOTE WHOLOCK
FIX.
who's the best
I prefer Doctor Who, although I really like Sherlock and I was Sherlock last year for Halloween. That was before I liked Doctor Who. This year I am The Doctor!
My thoughts on the results: Fantastic!
while I do enjoy Doctor WHO I can not agree with your verdict. Â Sherlock Holmes has changed the way how police do investigations, who can say how many People have been saved over the years because of this cultural icon.(actual real people) Â How come that wasnt considered in the hero''s category?
Doctor who for the win
i love both of these shows.
of course doctor <3
Sherlock is composed of daily actions that we see in society but doc is not. So we can see someone like Sherlock but not never doc . Hence Sherlock is great
I love them both but I got a score of Sherlock 1 and Dr who 4
5:19 "and partner" YES THANK YOU
Round 6: dark background stories
A war has started
The best Sherlock Holmes' portrayers are Basil Rathbone, and Jeremy Brett!
And the best Doctor Who portrayers are Tom Baker, and David Tennett.
WHAT THE FUCK?!!!
FUCK NO, I DON’T AGREE
