Check out the trailer for the BBC’s new Sherlock Holmes series. Written by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss and directed by Paul McGuigan (check out the LFF interview with him). Benedict Cumberbatch (Atonement) plays Holmes with Martin Freeman (The Office, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) plays Watson.
It is a 3 parter and the first one is on 9pm from July 25th.
Watson, a doctor, soldier and war hero, is fresh from military service in Afghanistan. A chance encounter brings him into the world of Sherlock Holmes, a loner, detective and genius. The two men couldn’t be more different, but Sherlock’s inspired leaps of intellect, coupled with John’s pragmatism, soon forge an unbreakable alliance.
A woman in pink lies dead in a derelict house, the fourth in a series of impossible suicides. DI Lestrade is the best Scotland Yard has got, but even he knows he can’t compare to the young man who can tell a software designer by his tie or an airline pilot by his thumb.
Sherlock has a unique analytical mind, earning his living and staving off boredom by solving crimes. The weirder and more baffling the better…
Across three thrilling, scary, action-packed and hugely entertaining episodes, Sherlock and John navigate a maze of cryptic clues and lethal killers to get at the truth.
