BBC Series Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman
Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman
The stories of Sherlock Holmes brought up-to-date
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Mark Gatiss, Rupert Graves and Una Stubbs.

Steven Moffat commenting on the series: "Sherlock Holmes is one of kind, whilst other detectives have cases, Holmes has adventures. Sherlock isn't a drama about police procedure - the police are involved but the cases themselves are Sherlock's and he's only interested in the strange ones."

"The original books are funny. If you read the Sherlock Holmes stories, the interaction between the two main characters is always funny and I hope we've captured some element of that. Of course it's funny - he's a weird genius, not an ordinary genius. As for the villains, how do you find a good enough villain cleverer than Sherlock Holmes who isn't going to get caught in the first 10 minutes, particularly in the modern world of forensics? Sherlock Holmes isn't about the villain, it's about the mystery and going on an adventure with Holmes and Watson to solve it.”

Benedict Cumberbatch (War Horse, Frankenstein) stars as Sherlock and is joined by Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office) as Dr John Watson, Rupert Graves (Case Sensitive, Garrow's Law) as Inspector Lestrade and Una Stubbs (Worzel Gummidge, EastEnders) as Mrs Hudson.

Series Two (2011)

Steven Moffat says: "The three stories will be called A Scandal In Belgravia, The Hounds Of Baskerville and The Reichenbach Fall."

Mark Gatiss reveals that when it came to sharing the writing responsibilities, Steven chose to do the twisted love story (Scandal) while he chose the Gothic horror (Baskerville) and Stephen Thompson (Silk, Doctor Who) is writing the thrilling finale (Reichenbach).

Series One (2010)

Episode 1 - A Study in Pink

A war hero, invalided home from Afghanistan, meets a strange but charismatic genius who is looking for a flatmate; it is London, 2010, and Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes are meeting for the first time.  A string of impossible suicides has Scotland Yard baffled - and only one man can help.

Episode 2 - The Blind Banker

A mysterious cipher is being scrawled on walls around London.  The first person to see the cipher is dead within hours of reading it.  Sherlock plunges into the world of codes and symbols, consulting with London’s best graffiti artists.  He soon learns that the city is in the grip of a gang of international smugglers called The Black Lotus.

Episode 3 - The Great Game

Despairing of the ingenuity of London’s criminals, Sherlock is invited to take on what looks to be a very ordinary case – a young civil servant found on a railway line with his head smashed in. It seems to be open and shut – or so he thinks.  The curtain is about to rise on a terrifying game of cat and mouse as a crazed bomber pits his wits against Sherlock. A 20-year-old murder, a blood-soaked car, a rediscovered Old Master worth millions – it’s just the kind of adventure Sherlock and John relish, but who is behind these deadly puzzles? London is set to become a battle ground as Sherlock confronts the one person capable of beating him.
