From the BBCThis modern-day Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the new Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson. Rupert Graves plays Inspector Lestrade.
The iconic details from Conan Doyle's original books remain – they live at the same address of 221b Baker Street, have the same names and, somewhere out there, Moriarty is waiting for them.
Steven Moffat says: "Conan Doyle's stories were never about frock coats and gas light; they're about brilliant detection, dreadful villains and blood-curdling crimes – and frankly, to hell with the crinoline. Other detectives have cases, Sherlock Holmes has adventures, and that's what matters."

Oh, thanks for posting this! I can't wait till it airs on Masterpiece Mystery!
ReplyDeleteI was taken aback by Cumberbatch's crankiness having only seen him in docile roles but yes, eager to see it!
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking this out, I like the 2 lead actors!
ReplyDeleteYah! The night is finally here!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Sherlock tonight.
However, I may have difficulty concentrating when Dr. Watson is on screen thinking "Hey its the guy who will be in that little elf movie with Richard Armitage!" ;D
