Sherlock is a British television series that presents a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective stories. It was created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson. After an unbroadcast pilot in 2009, the first series of three 90-minute episodes was transmitted on BBC One and BBC HD in July and August 2010, with a second series of three episodes first broadcast in January 2012. A third series has been commissioned and will reportedly air in 2013. The series has been sold to over 180 territories.
Hartswood Films produced the series for the BBC, and co-produced with WGBH Boston for its Masterpiece anthology series. Filming took place at various locations, including London, Merthyr Tydfil, Swansea, Dartmoor and Cardiff. Other cast members include Rupert Graves as DI Greg Lestrade, Andrew Scott as Jim Moriarty, Gatiss as Mycroft Holmes, Una Stubbs as Mrs. Hudson, as well as Vinette Robinson and Louise Brealey playing recurring roles.
Critical reception was overwhelmingly positive and the first series won the 2011 BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama Series.[1] All six episodes have been released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in the UK, alongside tie-in editions of some of Conan Doyle's original books. Soundtrack albums from each series are also scheduled for release.
DevelopmentThe series is a collaboration between Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, who both had experience adapting or using Victorian literature for television.[2] Moffat had previously adapted the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for the 2007 series Jekyll,[3] while Gatiss had written the Dickensian Doctor Who episode "The Unquiet Dead".[4] Moffat and Gatiss, who are both Doctor Who writers, discussed plans for a Holmes adaptation during their numerous train journeys to Cardiff where Doctor Who production is based.[5] The two writers are both big Sherlock Holmes fans;[6] Gatiss has said of the Holmes stories that "Whenever I meet someone who hasn't read them, I always think they have got so much fun to come."[6] The theme of 'friendship' appealed to both Gatiss and Moffat.[7] The writers realised that someone else would have the same idea to produce a modern-day version.[8] While they were in Monte Carlo for an awards ceremony, Moffat's wife, producer Sue Vertue, got them to start to work out how they might do it themselves.[8]
Gatiss has criticised recent television adaptations of the Conan Doyle stories as "too reverential and too slow", aiming instead to be as irreverent to the canon as the 1930s and 1940s films starring Basil Rathbone.[6] In the DVD audio commentary, Moffat and Gatiss say they decided that everything that had previously been done about Sherlock Holmes was canonical: not just the Conan Doyle stories but the Rathbone and Granada Television versions.[8] Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock uses modern technology, such as texting, the internet, and GPS, to solve crimes.[6] Paul McGuigan, who directed two episodes of Sherlock, says that this is in keeping with Conan Doyle's character, pointing out that "In the books he would use any device possible and he was always in the lab doing experiments. It's just a modern-day version of it. He will use the tools that are available to him today in order to find things out."[9]
The update maintains some traditional elements of the stories, such as the Baker Street address and Holmes' archenemy Moriarty.[10] Although the events of the books are transferred to the present day, canonical elements are incorporated into the story. For example, Martin Freeman's Watson has returned from military service in Afghanistan.[11] While discussing the fact that the original Watson was invalided home after serving in the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–1880), Gatiss realised that "It is the same war now, I thought. The same unwinnable war."[6]
Sherlock was announced as a single 60-minute drama production at the Edinburgh International Television Festival in August 2008,[2] with broadcast set for mid- to late 2009.[10] The intention was to produce a full series should the pilot prove to be successful.[10] However, the first version of the pilot – reported to have cost £800,000 – led to rumours within the BBC and wider media that Sherlock was a potential disaster.[12][13] The BBC decided not to transmit the pilot, requesting a reshoot and a total of three 90-minute episodes.[12][13] The original pilot was included as part of the series on DVD. During the audio commentary, the creative team say that the BBC were "very happy" with the pilot, but asked them to change the format.[8] The pilot, says journalist Mark Lawson, was "substantially expanded and rewritten, and completely reimagined in look, pace and sound."[13]
Two series, each consisting of three episodes, have been produced and broadcast. The first series was first broadcast in July and August 2010, with a second series of three episodes first broadcast in January 2012. A third series has been commissioned and will reportedly air in 2013. The series has been sold to over 180 territories.[41]
Series one (2010)Steven Moffat wrote the first episode, "A Study in Pink", loosely based upon A Study in Scarlet. Coky Giedroyc had directed a 60 minute version of the episode, but it had to be reshot when the BBC commissioned episodes of 90 minutes duration. The revised version of "A Study in Pink", directed by Paul McGuigan, was first broadcast simultaneously on BBC One and BBC HD on 25 July 2010.[42][43]
The second episode, "The Blind Banker" in which Holmes is hired by an old friend to investigate a mysterious break-in at a bank in the City, was written by Stephen Thompson and directed by Euros Lyn.[44] The first series concluded with "The Great Game", which was first broadcast on 8 August 2010. The episode introduces the character of Jim Moriarty to the series (Andrew Scott), who sets Holmes deadlines to solve a series of apparently unrelated cases. Written by Mark Gatiss and directed by McGuigan, "The Great Game" ends in a cliffhanger in which Sherlock and Moriarty reach a standoff involving a bomb strapped to Watson.[45]
Series two (2012)At the Kapow! 2011 convention, Gatiss confirmed which stories would be adapted, and that the writers of the first series would each write an episode for series two.[46] Acknowledging that "A Scandal in Bohemia", The Hound of the Baskervilles and "The Final Problem" are amongst the most well-known Holmes stories, Gatiss explained, "We knew after having a successful first run that the natural order would be to do three of the most famous [stories]".[46] "There's the question of how to go out on a cliffhanger and then the thematic things of the three stories, where we were trying to get to and what Sherlock and John's relationship is a little further on. You can't just go back to: 'You have no emotions.' 'I don't care.' You've got to move on somewhere and make sure the other characters have something of a journey too."[46] Paul McGuigan directed the first two episodes,[47] and Doctor Who director Toby Haynes handled the last one.[48] Filming ran from 16 May 2011 to 24 August 2011; Sue Vertue produced the first two episodes and Elaine Cameron produced the third, with Vertue credited as executive producer for this episode.[49] The second series of three 90-minute episodes was initially planned to air in late 2011,[50] but was delayed until early January 2012.
"A Scandal in Belgravia", written by Steven Moffat and directed by Paul McGuigan, was first broadcast on 1 January 2012. Loosely based on "A Scandal in Bohemia", the episode depicts Holmes' quest to retrieve compromising photos of a minor royal held on the camera phone of Irene Adler (Lara Pulver), a ruthless and brilliant dominatrix who also trades in classified information extracted from her rich and powerful clients.[51]
Mark Gatiss wrote "The Hounds of Baskerville", which investigates the strange activities at a military base. Aware that The Hound of the Baskervilles, first published in 1902, was one of the most famous of Conan Doyle's original stories, Gatiss felt a greater responsibility to include familiar elements of the story than he does when adapting the lesser-known stories.[52][53] Russell Tovey appeared as Henry Knight, a man whose father was ripped apart by a gigantic hound on Dartmoor twenty years earlier. Directed by McGuigan, the episode was first broadcast on 8 January 2012.[54]
The second series concluded with "The Reichenbach Fall". Inspired by "The Final Problem", the episode follows Moriarty's plot to discredit and kill Sherlock Holmes. The title refers to the Reichenbach Falls, the location where Sherlock and Moriarty supposedly fall to their deaths in the original story. Stephen Thompson wrote the episode, which was directed by Haynes, who had previously directed many of Moffat's Doctor Who episodes. First broadcast on 15 January 2012, the episode concluded with Holmes faking his suicide as Watson looked on. [55]
