Sherlock Holmes was always a modern man - its the world that got old. Co-created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock is back as he should be: edgy, contemporary, difficult and dangerous. Sherlock can tell a software designer by his tie or an airline pilot by his thumb, he has a unique analytical brain unlike anyone else in the world and has found the best way to stave off boredom is by solving crimes. When a chance encounter brings soldier John Watson into Sherlock';;;s life, it';;;s apparent the two men couldn';;;t be more different, but Sherlock';;;s intellect coupled with John';;;s pragmatism soon forges an unbreakable alliance as they investigate a series of baffling cases together.
