The Character
Mrs Hudson was the ever faithful landlady to Mr Holmes and Dr Watson when they stayed in 221b Baker Street . And a steely fisted one at that; forever fighting a losing battle with Mr Holmes to keep the house in tact due to his chemical experiments and refusal to throw away documents in case they should ever be required again.
Tolerant would be an understatement for this Scotswoman, she even put up with Holmes shooting the Queen's initials into the walls once out of mere boredom! This is likely due to Holmes's generous payments to her for services which are said to have been enough to purchase 221b several times over himself.
In No Place Like Holmes she remains a distinctive memory when Holmes and Watson are warped to the post millennium, but appears in flashbacks and episodes still set in Victorian times. She was also one of the main characters for the 2 series of The Mary Morstan Mysteries (2012-2015)
