PROPER TELLY

Sherlock is a British television series created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. It is a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson. After an unbroadcast pilot was produced in 2009, the first series of three 90-minute episodes was transmitted on BBC One and BBC HD in July and August 2010 and later on PBS stations in the U.S. from 24 October 2010. A second series is scheduled to be broadcast in the UK in autumn 2011.




The first series of three 90-minute movies won the 2011 BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama Series. The titles were A Study in Pink, The Blind Banker and The Great Game. The next three titles due to be shown on BBC in the Autumn of 2011 are called A Scandal in Belgravia, The Hounds of Baskerville and The Reichenbach Fall.

The show has been described as a cross between Withnail and I  and The Bourne Ultimatum.
