I suppose it is, though apparently they have two Lestrades. I mean, one actual Lestrade and then one who does all the same things my Lestrade does. I'm actually not in any versions of my stories, though. Not the books or the Granada series or the newer movies or even the American series. I seem to be the only one, though. Even Kitty Riley is in the stories, or at least mentioned. It's like I don't exist outside of my world, which I suppose is very similar to what's happening to you, in a way.
I didn't realize it took quite so long. I suppose there are always new things to learn when it comes to them, like new techniques or improvements on them.
