Inspired by Mrs. Hudson, the housekeeper in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, Mrs. Judson is depicted as kind-hearted and patient, despite Basil’s eccentric and often dismissive behavior.

In the movie, Mrs. Judson takes care of Basil’s chaotic home at 221½ Baker Street, maintaining some semblance of order amidst his experiments and investigative work. She first appears when Dr. Dawson and Olivia Flaversham arrive at Basil’s residence seeking his help. Ever hospitable, she offers them tea and makes Olivia feel at ease in the otherwise intimidating environment. Despite being a minor character, her warmth and nurturing nature add a cozy touch to Basil’s otherwise cold and analytical world.

Mrs. Judson is voiced by Diana Chesney, an actress known for her roles in various television series and films. Chesney’s gentle and endearing performance brings depth to the character, making Mrs. Judson a memorable part of the film. Her voice work complements the Victorian setting, capturing the warmth and charm of a classic British housekeeper.
