Sherlock, The Moffat and Gatiss Remake Options

[Raven]

BBC One will air the first of the new four-part Sherlock series on Sunday 25th July at 9pm.

Hurrah!

Cumberbatch just goes from strength to strength. Using his masculine whiles on the pathologist was absolutely the highlight of this week's episode - and utterly believable! I'd let him look at my corpses' feet. Or something.

That was a real highlight for me. I like the idea that they can keep Holmes asexual without having him be completely unaware that he is attractive and can manipulate people that way. It's more interesting than making him completely ambivalent or oblivious.
I liked this week's episode a lot but not as much as last week. I think it's mainly because the shown lent more on the procedural side of things this week whereas A Study in Pink was largely about introducing the characters and watching them spark off of each other. I still really enjoyed it, but I hope that episode three has more room for the characters to spend time with each other, rather than being too focused on the mystery itself.

He was also very good in Hawking (about a young Stephen Hawking unsuprisingly), which was brilliant.

Well worth seeking out if you've not seen it.

I'd second that recommendation. It's really terrific and he's thoroughly charming in it.

Yes. This is the best bit. That is he is knowing and also, oblivious.

Loved Study in Pink. Basically what Zoe said.
