BBC Entertainment to kick off 'Sherlock'
MUMBAI: BBC Entertainment is gearing up to launch a new show ?Sherlock? on 10 December. The show will air every Saturday at 8 pm.
Sherlock Holmes was always a modern man - it?s the world that got old. Now he?s back as he should be: edgy, contemporary, difficult and dangerous, as award-winning actor Benedict Cumberbatch shows him in a new, contemporary light.
?Sherlock? can tell a software designer by his tie, an airline pilot by his thumb. He has a unique analytical brain unlike anyone else in the world. When a by chance encounter brings soldier John Watson into Sherlock?s life, its apparent the two men couldn?t be more different, but Sherlock?s intellect coupled with John?s pragmatism soon forges an unbreakable alliance. Across three thrilling, scary, action-packed and highly entertaining television movies, Sherlock and John navigate a maze of cryptic clues and lethal killers to get at the truth. With sparkling scripts and unforgettable performances from the two leads, this is Sherlock for the new generation.
The first episode is called ?A Study in Pink?. A woman in pink lies dead in a derelict house. She is the fourth in a series of seemingly impossible suicides. DI Lestrade is the best Scotland Yard has got, but even he knows that there?s only one man who can help. Elsewhere in London, a war hero, invalided home from Afghanistan, meets a strange but charismatic genius who is looking for a flat-mate; Dr John Watson and Sherlock Holmes are meeting for the first time.
