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).

Seen the advert a few times, looks like an interesting modern twist on a classic.. Will definately watch

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
 

Will also definitely watch...I've only JUST seen the Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes film...thought it was OK.

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

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.

I watched 15mins and turned it over....far too slow for me. And I was really looking forward to it aswell...

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
 

I really enjoyed it.

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..:shrug:

When people bother to do so it can work very well,Being Human is a prime example.

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
 

Well I might try the next one again and see if I was just being dense tonight :)

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
 

Brilliant. Even managed to engage my exceedingly picky husband.

Re: Sherlock BBC mini series
 

Now that is odd my wife says the same about me being picky.:erm::D

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.
