Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
I was about to start a thread on this! 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-10725501

Three-part "contemporary remake" of the classic "Shelock Holmes", starting at 9pm on Sunday on BBC1/HD, and starring Benedict Cumberbatch (who???) as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Watson... and written by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (Doctor Who, The League of Gentlemen).

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
Don't think I will.
I've read the article in the Radio Times and I'm just not into pretending that Sherlock wasn't a repressed Victorian and it's just an excuse to cut the costume budget IMHO

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
Watched 15 minutes or so and left it on record so I'll watch it later.
Sherlock reminded me of that Harry Potter guy in the movie.

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
Well I watched but really I think they just used the Sherlock name to hook the story in the public mind.
Why didn't they just write it as a straight series and leave out the SH references?It would have worked just as well if they had worked at it.
Kinda fed up with the way some people don't have the courage to just be original.. 
When people bother to do so it can work very well,Being Human is a prime example.

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
Absolutely fabulous, a modern uptake onthe story, kept the audience involved with the highlighted clues as to his deductions and really cemented the relationship between the two

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
I have not managed to stay awake to watch much TV lately but Sherlock was well worth the effort.

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
I really enjoyed it, however I think there is a bit of a Doctor Who vibe from the modern Sherlock, his behaviour mainly.
