(Repeated 0030 on Monday on BBC HD) – <a href="http://www.milorambles.com/2010/07/25/sherlocks-back-and-means-business-a-study-in-pink-review/" ><strong>A study in Pink Review</strong></a> – <strong>Did you like it ? Let me know</strong></p> <p>With the <a href="http://www.milorambles.com/2010/07/17/sherlocks-coming-to-the-bbc-trailer/" ><strong>pilot scrapped</strong></a> and turned into a mini-series, fans of the illustrious detective are in for a treat on Sunday when Sherlock and Watson meet and strike up a partnership. <a href="http://www.milorambles.com/2010/07/17/sherlocks-coming-to-the-bbc-trailer/" ><strong>Check out the trailer</strong></a>.</p> <p><img class="alignright" title="First ever appearance of Sherlock Holmes" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a8/Friston-holmes.gif/387px-Friston-holmes.gif" alt="" width="310" height="480" />A war hero (Watson), 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.</p> <p>The first episode in the series is based on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&search-alias=books-uk&ref_=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1&field-author=Arthur%2520Conan%2520Doyle&tag=milorambles-21" ><strong>Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s</strong></a> A Study in Scarlet, first published in 1887. Holmes and Watson meet when When Dr John Watson takes rooms in Baker Street with the amateur detective, he has no idea that he is about to enter a shadowy world of criminality and violence.</p> <p>‘<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0141034335?ie=UTF8&tag=milorambles-21" ><strong>A Study in Scarlet</strong></a>‘ is a book in two halves. The first works out who the murderer is (and told by Watson in the first person), the second takes us to foreign shores and looks at how the case ended up where it did and the aftermath. Both halves have a different feel and it will be interesting to see how Moffat has managed to re-tell this story.</p> <p>Did you know that Conan Doyle wrote the novel at the age of 27 in less than three weeks?</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cast and Crew for Sherlock 2010</strong></span></p> <dl> <dt>Sherlock Holmes ……… Benedict Cumberbatch</dt> <dt>Dr John Watson ………..Martin Freeman</dt> <dt>DI Lestrade ………………Rupert Graves</dt> <dt>Mrs Hudson ……………..Una Stubbs</dt> <dt>Molly Hooper …………..Louise Brealey</dt> <dt>Sgt Sally Donovan …….Vinette Robinson</dt> <dt>Jeff …………………………Phil Davis</dt> <dt>Director ………………….Paul McGuigan</dt> <dt>Producer …………………Sue Vertue</dt> <dt>Executive Producer ….Steven Moffat</dt> <dt>Executive Producer ….Mark Gatiss</dt> <dt>Writer …………………….Steven Moffat</dt> <dt> </dt> <dt>The BBC have put together a holding page on the main website and can be found <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t8wp0" ><strong>here</strong></a>.</dt> </dl> </div>
