Thread: All is not lost, SHERLOCK HOLMES IS BACK!

Started watching it but it did not grab me in the first 15mins and I became bored so switched over to watch something else.

Did you get the BBC series over there with Benedict Cumberbatch (or whatever it is)? I thought it was very good and worth a watch.

found it halfway though, Holmes & watson seem to work well, didnt know what the show was untill i realised about 30 seconds in who the characters were.....

The adds drove me nuts, but it the best show I have seen in while.

saw some of the series on cable over the last 6 months, quite good and watchable, stick with it, you'll love it.

I'd be rapt to see that!

I missed it last night, I forgot it was on. I have always enjoyed the various incarnations of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
That may be because of the family ties.......

(My surname is Holmes, for those of you who don't know me - my username came from how a friend at school used to pronounce my inevitable nickname "Sherlock" in his broad Scouse accent)

was on the ABC about 12-18 months ago, I love it!

Only 3 episodes though BUT theyre making more

the writers are two dr who writers who loved the original conan doyle stuff and basically started with the book, ignored everything else and updated it..

Inspector Lestrade becomes a DI (as would be equivilent for his position today)

Watson is back from Afghanistan as opposed to the 2nd angle-afghan war which went until almost 1900 (ok I think late 1880's ??? ) so not much to update there is it!


Its good the way its filmed too, I love the text msg on screen bit so no cutting away to a shot of a telephone etc etc..

yep its good and a nice refresher, this same mob made JECKELL (as is Dr JECKELL and Mr HYDE update.) (Thats spelt wrong I think)

anyway bring more of it on SHERLOCK,
Yes I agree John bring it on!
